  • Maybe you could read William Blake as well? Or Coleridge?

  • Funny you should mention Blake and Coleridge -- I am planning to do "Xanadu" and I was thinking about doing "The Lamb" and "The Tyger". (I memorized those a while ago -- in fact you might be able to spot Blake's illustrated version of "The Tyger" on my bathroom wall in my video of "Resume".) Yeats's "The Second Coming" is a good idea too, though I haven't memorized that one -- yet!

  • i love this. i love this. this is my favorite poem of t.s. eliot. amazing.

  • Thanks for your compliments!

  • Sounds much like the original Eliot recording!

  • I never really thought about it, but it makes sense that he would have recorded it. Is it available on Caedmon?

  • I had given up hope of finding more than amateurish and disappointing poetry readings, then I came upon this, and I tell you I was moved. For the entire 8 minutes and some odd seconds I was spellbound. Magnificent! I will insist that the poetry lovers among my friends watch this.

  • i had to go through a bunch of old english guys jollily reciting the poem before i finally got to this. you clearly have thought a lot about the poem and its meaning. it can be seen that you know excactly what the poem is about. you got it right.
