SeanTyrrell, Bard : The Green Eye of the Little Yellow God

[MrChickenZombie]

So, a guy loves a chick, but she's rich and he's not, luckly she likes him back. In a joke she said she wanted the most prized gem from the statue of a powerful god. He fought him for it but the dude got it. He gave it to the girl, but she was only joking so wouldn't take, so he killed himself. That's what I've gathered. tell me if i'm wrong.

@MrChickenZombie , @MrChickenZombie ,CZ, u got it, it is a bards tale, charles laughton delivered it in a soliliquey in a 1930s film...

Thank you for listening watching...did it take more than 1 watch or did u wrap it up in 1 take??? And of course I wonder what brought u here?

@RedKruzer I had to watch it twice before i got all of the points, RK, but it was worth it. I really like this poem. I had heard about the poem from one of my friends at summer camp. Where did you first hear it?

[RedKruzer]

@MrChickenZombie ,Hello in there, It might also be about class warfare & retribution. What do u think?

[mqbssrh]

@MrChickenZombie I think he gets killed by the temple guards when hes sleeping.

I had heard the poem once, only recitated, without music (can't remember by whom, it's ages ago), and I loved it. It's greatly sung by Sean Tyrrell I was introduced to just about a few days ago by lukessummer.

Thanks so much for sending me this Red!!!

5***** and saved to my new playlist of Sean Tyrrell songs. I hope I'll find some more here on YouTube...

It was recited in St. Martins Lane by Charles Laughton 1938

[catminima]

Thanks a lot for jogging my memory! That's what I meant :)

[magnuspatronus]

My favorite illustrations are at 3:00 and 3:29great overall although the women look like men in drag- maybe that's his style?

Very fun to watch!

[ogjimkenobi]

Lol, this is pretty damn good, great illustrations too.

Mary, Sean wrote music to David Marcus' translation of Cuirt an Mhean Oiche. He toured Ireland

performing it with many illiterations. An early one drew this praise:"The poem was given a dramatic

presentation with all the boost and blast-off that song and music and topical allusion can provide.

The psychosexual demons were no longer at bay but rampant and fully recognized. Orpheus had

been re-membered in Ireland" Seamus Heaney - Nobel Poet Laureate
