Education at St. Paul's Cathedral Choir School
Poet involved
What happened
Walter de la Mare attended St. Paul's Cathedral Choir School in London, where he was exposed to a rich literary and musical environment. This formative experience helped shape his appreciation for rhythm and language, which would later influence his poetry. The school's focus on music and literature instilled in him a lifelong love for the arts.
Literary impact
The education he received at St. Paul's contributed to his lyrical style and imaginative themes in poetry, particularly in his works for children. The musicality of his verse can be traced back to this early exposure.
