In this fast- moving technological world,lines of poetry can be food for the soul and help people with mental illness.
How can learning poetry by heart help us to be more grounded,happy and calm people? “Let me count the ways,” says Rachel Kelly,who has s 41 from anxiety. Whenever shes feeling woobly, she finds reciting lines of poetry is validating and c 42 her to others who have felt as she is feeling at this moment. And it’s something we can all do: poetry we’ve learned to recite means we have another v 43 inside us that’s always there, a kind of on-board first responder in times of psychological need.
Those words are like a crutch which we can l 44 on, they can even do the thinking for us. Kelly describes h 45 the poetry written by WE Henley can make all the difference to what happens to her next:“I am the master of my fate/I am the captain of my soul.” When all she can hear in her head are n 46 voices, she can drown them out by repeating, over and over, positive lines from poetry:they’re substitutions,life-giving mantras rather than life-sapping ones.
Kelly was very unwell—at one point she was in a psychiatric hospital—when she had an inkling that poetry could offer enormous c 47 . “I’d had a lot of drugs and I was in a terribly anxious s 48 .I was clinging on to my husband, who was on one side of me,and my mother,who was on the other. And suddenly my mother started m 49 some lines from Corinthians. And those words felt like the fist stirring of hope.This seemed like a shard of something positive,something I could cling on to.”
One of Kelly’ favourite poets was George Herbert from the 18th century. “I kept repeating his poetry,and they spelled out h 50 to me. He held my hands across the century and said to me,‘You are going to be OK,’”she says.
