"The Destruction of Sennacherib" by Lord Byron (poetry reading)

[tumejorpose]

I love Lord Byron's poetry :)

The best thing "Archer" has ever done is to expose Lord Byron to a wider 21st audience.

(ok, the Melville and Steinbeck references are pretty good too)

@USERACCOUNT40001 Amen. Educating the masses without their knowledge.

A poem in waltz time! It's a bit tum te tum te tum. The poem I mean, not your expressive rendition. It is a powerful piece nonetheless.My mother used to read it to me when I was a child over sixty years ago. We lived just a few miles from, and often visited Byron's home, Newstead Abbey in Nottinghamshire. I have also been to Missolonghi where he is still revered for his efforts on behalf of Greek independance.

Thank you so much for posting this!!! I would much rather hear this for when studying for my class than having to recite it myself! Your aweseme! Great Study aid!!!

Possibly my favorite poem. The meter, the rhyme, and the imagery are all so skillfully done; so beautiful.
