"Sure to, dear, but it's time for tea,"

Gyles' poem this week was the infamous 'Our Revels Now Are Ended' quote by Prospero in The Tempest by William Shakespeare Our revels now are ended.

And when thy heart began to beat. What dread hand? & what dread feet? What the hammer? what the chain, In what furnace was thy brain? What the anvil? what dread grasp. Dare its deadly terrors clasp? When the stars threw down their spears And water'd heaven with their tears: Did he smile his work to see? Did he who made the Lamb make thee? Tyger Tyger burning bright, In the forests of the night: What immortal hand or eye, Dare frame thy fearful symmetry? A Sony Music Entertainment production.

This week, we're unraveling the sentimental journey behind the word 'nostalgia'. Join Susie and Gyles on a linguistic journey through time, where every word is a portal to the past. Enjoy Susie’s Trio for the week: Desiderate: To yearn for something one once had but has now lost. Listicle: Simply, a little list! Natsukashii: A Japanese word used when something evokes a fond memory from your past and that is enough in itself. Gyles' poem this week was 'Growing Old ' by Nanette Newman: Growing old is like a career only a career you didn’t train for you didn’t expect and you certainly didn’t want. This ‘new’ career – creeps up on you And surprises you. For instance You find yourself saying new lines, like ‘Everything looks a bit blurry’ ‘Why do my legs hurt me?’ ‘Why do my arms have flabby bits?’ ‘Why can’t I run any more?’ ‘Why do people speak so quietly?’ ‘Why is my iPad such a mystery?’ (even though my six-year-old Grandson has shown me how to work it ‘ten’ times) And ‘why do people hide my house keys?’ Also you suppose this New career (Growing Old) is going to Have a long run, but Showbusiness being what it is It could come to a sudden end (but perhaps best not to think about that). Anyway - if it does run - You hope the notices are ‘good’ Critics might say ‘you look good for your age’ But - this is not the role you’d chosen to play. Anyway it seems you’re stuck with it And let's face it you have been rehearsing for it for many years! When you think about it There’s a bit of ‘Agatha Christie’ about This new part - for instance Skirts hanging in the wardrobe Suddenly get smaller Round the waist - Something mysterious changes The colour of your hair Chairs try and hold on to you - so that You can’t get out of them Why is print smaller? Why do you look forward to a hot water bottle at night? (that’s definitely climate change) Also, what is filling your body with liquid – So that you have to pee all night? (This definitely needs more research). Your new career ‘Being Old’ Has a long list of questions Surrounding it - to be Honest – the part is not Really very well written – And doesn’t have much Appeal – ( no wonder Judi Dench turned it down). You ask yourself Is the character you Are now going to play Wiser? – no – I don’t think so Funnier? Only unintentionally Like – when you forget Where you’re going – or Throw your arms round The plumber, because You thought he was your Friend's husband, come Round because he’d Found your glasses. Anyway, how long you’ll be Playing this part (You don’t want to play) You’ve no idea. You don’t feel the Rehearsals have been ‘long enough’. Some of the cast (the even older members Have already left the Production) – You miss them. So – this is a step into the unknown in your ‘new career’ a new part to play. Will it have a ‘long run’? Who knows But there you go ‘That’s Showbusiness’ So – Here we are. A Sony Music Entertainment production. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices…

Gyles' poem this week was 'Weary with toil, I haste me to my bed (Sonnet 27)' by William Shakespeare Weary with toil, I haste me to my bed, The dear repose for limbs with travel tired; But then begins a journey in my head, To work my mind, when body’s work’s expired: For then my thoughts, from far where I abide, Intend a zealous pilgrimage to thee, And keep my drooping eyelids open wide, Looking on darkness which the blind do see: Save that my soul’s imaginary sight Presents thy shadow to my sightless view, Which, like a jewel hung in ghastly night, Makes black night beauteous and her old face new. Lo! Thus, by day my limbs, by night my mind, For thee and for myself no quiet find. A Sony Music Entertainment production.

Anythingarian: One who professes no creed in particular; an indifferentist. Coleworts: Old news. Literally, a cabbage-like plant. From the proverb for “old news,” “coleworts twice sodden’. Gyles' poem this week was 'Home Thoughts, From Abroad' by Richard Browning Oh, to be in England Now that April's there, And whoever wakes in England Sees, some morning, unaware, That the lowest boughs and the brushwood sheaf Round the elm-tree bole are in tiny leaf, While the chaffinch sings on the orchard bough In England—now! And after April, when May follows, And the whitethroat builds, and all the swallows! Hark, where my blossomed pear-tree in the hedge Leans to the field and scatters on the clover Blossoms and dewdrops—at the bent spray's edge— That's the wise thrush; he sings each song twice over, Lest you should think he never could recapture The first fine careless rapture! And though the fields look rough with hoary dew, All will be gay when noontide wakes anew The buttercups, the little children's dower —Far brighter than this gaudy melon-flower!

Komorebi (Japanese): The patterns cast by sunlight filtering through trees. Gruttling (old East Anglian dialect): A strange, inexplicable noise. Gyles' poem this week was 'Sick Room' by Billy Collins Every time Canaletto painted Venice he painted her from a different angle, sometimes from point of view he must have imagined, for there is no place in the city he could have stood and observed such scenes. How ingenious of him to visualise a dome or canal from any point in space. How passionate he was to delineate Venice from perspectives that required him to mount the air and levitate there with his floating brush. But I have been sick in this bed for over sixty hours, and I am not Canaletto, and this airless little room, with its broken ceiling fan and it monstrous wallpaper, is not Venice.

Limbeck: To rack the brain and exhaust yourself in an effort to come up with a new idea. Proggle: To poke, prod, or grubble about. Gyles' poem this week was 'Shakespeare at School' by Wendy Cope Forty boys on benches with their quills Six days a week through almost all the year, Long hours of Latin with relentless drills And repetition, all enforced by fear. I picture Shakespeare sitting near the back, Indulging in a risky bit of fun By exercising his prodigious knack Of thinking up an idiotic pun, And whispering his gem to other boys, Some of whom could not suppress their mirth – Behaviour that unfailingly annoys Any teacher anywhere on earth. The fun was over when the master spoke: Will Shakespeare, come up here and share the joke. A Sony Music Entertainment production.
