I was slow discovering You Tube - so this is the first time I've noticed you read Brecht.
Brecht is interesting: essentially an easy poet that nearly everybody still contrives to get wrong (as you observe in your notes).
Edward Thomas, John Donne, and Wilfred Gibson all have the same knack. Perhaps people really don't want to hear what they are saying.
Stating the obvious in a way people have trouble not hearing is a very special gift. It is among the many things I value you for.
