Edna St. Vincent Millay reads Recuerdo

[thisherecat2]

It wasn't affected. It was educated and New England. Before everyone in America talked like flat boiled cabbage (and you're lucky if you get that much).

I'm disappointed that she speaks in the affected manner of an early Hollywood actress.

An American treasure is this poem and this poet and this voice.

I'd read that she had quite a deep and commanding voice, and here it is!

I weep everytime I hear this. Thank you so much for posting. It's great to see some beautifully comforting sanity on Pootube for a change.
