Lost Voices - Series 1 - WH Davies

Poet Brian Patten explores the life and work of lesser-known or forgotten poets. WH Davies travelled the world from his native Wales, sleeping rough and jumping trains. His work has a simplicity which is still revered in the form of his well-known lines: 'What is this life if, full of care, We have no time to stand and stare?' But few people know that it was Davies who wrote them. Brian remembers a poet whose work helped set him on his own way as a writer.
