OXFORD LIFE

Addison’s Walk Enjoy the first few signs of spring by taking a stroll around Addison’s Walk in Magdalen College, one of the most picturesque and peaceful footpaths in Oxford. Pay your £7 entry fee at the Porter’s Lodge and navigate your way through the hushed medieval cloisters to the gardens and the meadows beyond. The walk itself encircles an ancient flood meadow, used as a deer park from summer to early winter before its inhabitants are briefly banished so that thousands of fritillaries can grow, their bobbing heads forming a delicate sea of purple in April and May. C.S. Lewis and Tolkien strolled there talking about philosophy and religion. Lewis was so moved by the its beauty that it is the setting for his poem ‘What the Bird Said Early in the Year’, in which a bird announces that a spell has been lifted and hope returned. I heard in Addison’s Walk a bird sing clear: This year the summer will come true. This year. This year. Winds will not strip the blossom from the apple trees This year, nor want of rain destroy the peas. This year time’s nature will no more defeat you, Nor all the promised moments in their passing cheat you. This time they will not lead you round and back To Autumn, one year older, by the well-worn track. This year, this year, as all these flowers foretell, We shall escape the circle and undo the spell. Often deceived, yet open once again your heart, Quick, quick, quick, quick!—the gates are drawn apart. Magdalen College, Open 10.00am to dusk or 7.00pm, whichever is the earliest

Ashmolean Museum Pissarro: Father of Impressionism 18th February–22nd June Daily, 10.00am–5.00pm

This exhibition will look at the long and varied career of Camille Pissarro, from his early work, schooled by Corot and Courbet, to his later impressionist pieces. Pissarro’s famously said, “Blessed are they who see beautiful things in humble places where other people see nothing” and his approach to painting, showing beauty the commonplace, a shocking concept at the time, was hugely influential for many artists, including Claude Monet and Paul Cézanne.
