Send us Fan MailDescription: An immersive reading ‘O could my wandering breeze-pinioned mind’ by Henry Derozio with reflection on anxiety and therapyPoem:O! could my wandering, breeze-pinioned mind  True brotherhood in earthborn spirit find.  One that might ever on unflagging wings  Companion me in my imaginings,  One that from earth could take its earthliness.  And robe it with the mind’s own light — ’twould bless  The wheeling of existence — we should rise  Like wild twin comets hurrying through the skies,  Or swift as starshoots dart into the chasms  Of earlier planets. These enthusiasms  Which ceaseless glow in my volcanic brain.  Because unshared, have ever brought me pain,  And left my mind in dark, despairing mood  To feel, and think upon its solitude. — ReferencesHenry Derozio: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Louis_Vivian_Derozio Sonnet: https://scalar.lehigh.edu/derozio/sonnet-o-could-my-wandering-breeze-pinioned-mind?path=fakeer-of-jungheera-a-metrical-tale-and-other-poems-1828 Grech T, Marks A.
