  • They tried to get me. I got them first! Vachel Lindsay, suicide by drinking Lysol.

  • Ah, I have the whole recording on 33 1/3 record. If you're missing it I have it as an MP3 that ripped, as well as the rest of the album...

  • Wasn't the Lindsay reading of the entire poem recorded on a Folkways disc? Long time ago, I dubbed it onto a reel-to-reel tape. The complete recording has to be accessible somewhere!

  • This reminds me of "Kubla Khan" by Samuel Coolridge. This poem is so much about the sound of it, too bad thier isn't a better a recording

  • Heard this recording in a high school library my junior year. It's amazing what we studied then. 30

  • What happened to the section after "Leopold's ghost"? -In fact, several sections are missing. What gives?
