"The Man with the Blue Guitar" by Wallace Stevens (test)

[hartistry]

I don't like this reading at all!! No energy too much monotone!!!! Yuk!

[SpokenVerse]

@hartistry To me, the words create the sound of the guitar. It's one of my favourite pieces there's nothing else like it in the language. I'm sorry that you don't hear the music. I think it was inspired by Picasso's "The Old Guitarist".

@SpokenVerse Yes, that emaciated sickly looking guitarist--so not pro-life so anti-life. So depressing and lacking any JOY!!!

[SpokenVerse]

@hartistry Yes, that immortal painting by Picasso. So you don't like Picasso's painting because you say it's depressing and lacking joy. You don't like this immortal poem by Wallace Stevens. You don't like my reading of it because you say it has no energy and sounds like a monotone.

Do you think it's possible that there may be something amiss with the way you see and hear things?

Why did you read it yourself and link your reading to mine? What was your motivation?
