  • To all these people who comment on Ted Hughes personal life in regard to his greatness as a poet. One's personal life is completely irrelevant to their endeavors towards literary greatness . Do not read his poems or prose is you are a moralistic fool. It makes no difference. He is a genius and a great poet and literary genius.

  • Ted Hughes just wanted someone to tell him about his uncle.

  • These words on thinking and thoughts are so truly spoken... I'm just annoyed the end part was cut off :/

  • This is from the book "Poetry in the making" - the chapter entitled "Learning to think". Before that these were talks given on a BBC radio programme called (I think!) 'Listening and writing'.

    He was attempting to make poetry interesting to schoolchildren here. Inspiring book I always thought :)

  • Whaaa? Where's the rest?

  • @BritishArrow Agreed - I've never heard him talk anything like as quickly as he does here.

  • Has this been speeded up? this is not the version I have? He speaks much slower.

  • Ted Hugehs is the father of poetry for me, not because he was antecedant to any great masters, but because he gave it life for me.

  • @romijain1 I hate them too...But at least they didn't waste their lives, wating for a moment that might not ever come. Poets live life. And write about that life!

  • @weRstillNotFree I do strongly hate all those men and women who commit adultery. And I have never done anything in my life of which I should be ashamed. I'm a good-looking virgin in her 30's who's tied to the principle of virginity before marriage; I'm loyal to my future husband even before marriage! Shame on all those who deceive their life partners!

  • @romijain1 humansR all immoral u have cast stone as if u never have been ...

    shame On u!
