His colloquial expression of high thoughts inspire me to write further. I'd become rather suspeicious of my own forms. I've just read his wife's obituary which [obit] sent me to his poetry which [poetry] has allowed me the privilige of saying something here.
Grateful,

I studied C. Day-Lewis for A level in 1959 and two or three of his poems are among the few poems I know by heart - The Album, The Jig and parts of the Nabarro. I am enormously grateful to Peter Stanford for his biography which has enabled me to relive my enthusiasm for the poems and finally begin to understand why they so thrilled me.
It is good to see CDL remembered on such a good quality site. I first came across his early collected poems by chance before going to university, and have always been moved by their lyric intensity and formal beauty. Personally, I find his ability to engage my emotions so absolutely, whilst sustaining his technique to a high level, to be a quiet proof of his authority. I suspect he has always been rather underrated, which seems a pity.
I've just begun to look at CDL's poems and I am moved by the way that he writes. This website has been most informative; so thank you.
What an excellent introduction to the life and poems of CDL! He wrote some of the most memorable and moving poems of the 20th century.
a pleasure and most informative
