All credit for making this video, but what is with the music man! It has killed the aura of elation and ecstasy I feel when I read this poem... instead deluding us with some semblance of a dank back-alley in downtown New York.
Keep the great American writers coming! I also like Mayakovsky's poem about the Brooklyn Bridge. You may know it, but here's a bit I once posted four years ago on a blog I used to have for my writing: Eager to live I clamber, in pride upon Brooklyn Bridge. As a foolish painter plunges his eye, sharp and loving, into a museum madonna, so I, from the near skies bestrewn with stars, gaze at New York through the Brooklyn Bridge... Excerpt from "Brooklyn Bridge" by Vladimir Mayakovsky, 1925.
