Title: Wordsworth's Ode: Intimations of Immortality
Post by: carl r on January 21, 2008, 11:08:25 AM
In the film "Control" about Joy Division lead singer Ian Curtis there's a scene where he uses a bit of poetry to impress:

MY heart leaps up when I behold   
A rainbow in the sky:   
So was it when my life began;   
So is it now I am a man;   
So be it when I shall grow old,            
      Or let me die!   
The Child is father of the Man;   
I could wish my days to be   
Bound each to each by natural piety.   


Just thought I'd mention it. I guess it was originally VDP's idea to use this in Smile? Funny how it fits Brian so perfectly.
