In this paper I wish to reflect on how poetry as a form of reverie has influenced my work in the field of psychoanalysis and how I have come to think about and view many of my patients through this lens.I have referred, amongst others to the work of several psychoanalysts namely Donald Winnicott, Wilfred Bion, Thomas Ogden, Annie Reiner and Philosopher and Poet Charles Simic and Theologian Martin Buber. I have been influenced by their writing in the process of developing my ideas about the Analytic Landscape and what goes on in that place.

And I shall listen to the listeningAs I climb up back up through the noisy day.And clasp close to me the precious poemsThat have arrived like birthday packagesWith the messenger who calls at midnight.Gifts found by chance in the toy boxOf morning consolations...........And I shall listen....

Waking dreams appear to assemble, dissemble and re-assemble themselves in a seemingly random way as do the song or the poem conversations that takes place between the mother and infant, analyst and patient and between the I and Thou. The process is akin to the assembly of free associations but seems to be far from haphazard and more like quirkery or a jigsaw being puzzled out.The following extract is a reverie or assembly of seemingly random thoughts that I had about a new patient.

During her lifetime, Anne Finch received limited recognition as a poet, despite the care she took with her writing. She was an aristocrat and a woman, therefore few took her work seriously. In the twentieth century, Finch's work was rediscovered and appreciated. Written in 1713, Finch's "A Nocturnal Reverie" is among the works that has garnered serious critical attention for the poet. Characteristically Augustan in style and content, the poem contains classical references and descriptions of nature (particularly flowers and the moon) that are consistent with the English Augustan Age. Some consider the poem to be a precursor to the romantic movement. This position is supported by the fact that William Wordsworth, one of the fathers of romantic literature in English, referenced Finch's poem in the supplement to the preface of the second edition of his famous collection Lyrical Ballads (1815), coauthored with Samuel Taylor Coleridge.

Through the ups and downs of her early years in marriage, Finch's interest in writing did not wane. Taking the pseudonym "Ardelia," she wrote poetry about her husband, whom she loved and honored. A tendency to express personal feelings in her poetry would continue as she matured in her writing; her poetry became a sort of diary through which she related personal experiences, feelings, religious convictions, and observations about the world around her. At the same time, her work reflects knowledge of and respect for seventeenth-century poetry and the conventions that characterize it. Biblical allusions, or references, appear in her work, as do metaphysical tendencies in imagery and verse that combines the spiritual and the logical. Fables became a sizeable part of her writing, comprising nearly one-third of her total work. Still, it has been poems such as "A Nocturnal Reverie" and "The Spleen" that have kept Finch's work in the canon of English literature of interest to scholars.

Although some of Finch's work was published beginning in 1701, it was not until the appearance of her 1713 collection Miscellany Poems that she began to enjoy limited recognition by her contemporaries. To most, the idea of a woman writing serious poetry was still a bit far-fetched. It was not until the twentieth century that her work began to receive much critical attention. A modern edition of her work was published in 1903, and various poems appear in major anthologies and studies of women's writing.

As the poem draws to a close, the speaker longs to stay in the nighttime world of nature until morning comes and forces her back into her world of confusion. In the daytime, in man's world, there are the worries of everyday life, the complications of living in society, work that must be done, and sounds that are not relaxing; however, she adds that people continue their pursuit of pleasure in the day. Because the poem's title refers to a reverie, the reader is left wondering if the entire experience was a dream, or if her musings on the river bank were the dreamy state to which it refers.

The poem's title bears the word reverie which is a dream or dream-like state. The poem is so rich, lavish, and utterly inviting, the reader must wonder if the speaker is describing a dream she had just before she awoke in the morning, or if she actually wandered through nature at night and, in her relaxation, fell into a dreamlike state. After all, as she rests on the riverbank, she describes thinking about things that are hard to put into words, and she admits the experience of being in that setting is spiritual. Either way, the appeal of the nocturnal setting she describes is that it affords her the opportunity to escape completely her humdrum daytime life. At the end of the poem, she describes the day as a time of confusion, work, and worry. She longs to stay in her reverie because it is an escape, real or imagined, from the life that makes her feel oppressed.

In Finch's lifetime, she enjoyed a minimal amount of attention and respect for her work. Her reputation was largely based on "The Spleen" and "A Nocturnal Reverie." Renewed interest in women writers, and especially overlooked women writers, led to Finch's rediscovery in the twentieth century and inclusion among major English poets. Prior to that, William Wordsworth mentioned "A Nocturnal Reverie" in the supplement to the preface of his and Samuel Taylor Coleridge's second edition of Lyrical Ballads (1815). Because of this mention, some scholars place the poem in the pre-romantic tradition, while others maintain that the poem rightly belongs among the Augustan poetry of Finch's time. Jamie Stanesa in Dictionary of Literary Biography weighs in with the comment, "Finch's expression is more immediate and simple, and her versification ultimately exhibits an Augustan rather than a pre-Romantic sensibility." Reuben A. Brower notes in Studies in Philology, "In the eighteenth century the poetry of religious meditation and moral reflection merged with the poetry of natural description in a composite type," which includes Finch's "A Nocturnal Reverie."He adds that those seeking the roots of romanticism in such poems should look beyond the mere setting.

In the supplement to the preface of his and Samuel Taylor Coleridge's second edition of Lyrical Ballads in 1815, the renowned romantic poet William Wordsworth praised "A Nocturnal Reverie" for its imagery in describing nature. Wordsworth himself saw something in Finch's work that caught his romantic eye and resonated with him in its depiction of nature. For this reason, critics took another look at "A Nocturnal Reverie" and many concluded that the poem is truly a pre-romantic work. Since all literary movements arise out of a set of circumstances before becoming full-fledged movements, it is not at all unusual to see the seeds of a movement in works that precede it. Wordsworth's appreciation of the poem for something as distinctly romantic in its depiction of nature is enough to make any serious critic consider whether "A Nocturnal Reverie" should be positioned among the earliest romantic poems.

In the following excerpt, Mintz discusses how Finch's nature poems, including "A Nocturnal Reverie," utilize the natural world as a spiritual and political counterbalance to an anti-feminist society.

Barbara McGovern includes, as an Appendix, a selection of poems from the Wellesley Manuscript. These, together with the works discussed within the text, testify to the impressively wide range of style and subject-matter at Finch's command. Capable of both serious reflection and satirical wit, of tender tributes to marital love and female friendship as well as harsh judgements on the modes and manners of her time, she was clearly a considerable poet, and it is easy to agree with Barbara McGovern's judgement that she has been seriously underestimated.

"Poor Susan" is a lyric poem by William Wordsworth composed at Alfoxden in 1797. It was first published in the collection Lyrical Ballads in 1798. It is written in anapestic tetrameter.

I have said that each of these poems has a purpose. I have also informed my Reader what this purpose will be found principally to be: namely to illustrate the manner in which our feelings and ideas are associated in a state of excitement. But speaking in less general language, it is to follow the fluxes and refluxes of the mind when agitated by the great and simple affections of our nature. The feeling therein developed gives importance to the action and situation and not the action and situation to the feeling. My meaning will be rendered perfectly intelligible by referring my Reader to the Poems entitled POOR SUSAN and the CHILDLESS FATHER ...

According to Ernest de Slincourt,[2] Wordsworth responded by deleting the stanza in the 1815 edition of his poems and renaming the poem The Reverie of Poor Susan, a title which may have been influenced by his reading Brger's Des Arme Suschens Traum at Goslar.[3][4] In addition he replaced the word There's at the beginning of the second line by Hangs and added an introductory note: 006ab0faaa
