This is utterly & unabashedly beautiful! I keep finding myself with my eyes closed, smiling... and in some small way it feels like you're speaking just to me. I suppose that is how it should be for everyone who listens. Well done Tom, thank you. I'm going to listen again at bedtime, I've decided your voice is just lovely to listen to at night. What better way to end the day than to have you regale me with timeless poetry... (well, a woman can dream, can't she ?) Blessings Laurie
I was mesmerized by this poem as a young girl in 1958. Now I admire Fiona Pitt-Kethley's "Terse Verse," Nonetheless, your reading of this classic still mesmerizes.
The challenge of this poem is always balancing the Pre-Raphaelite lusciousness against the Glasgow-School realism (there is nearly a working canal in there somewhere). I know several good readings - but they are all a little too PRB. Yours is the only competent reading I know which might be just a shade too Glasgow School. Or perhaps you have it just right - only I need time to acclimatise.
An exquisitely written classic poem that warn of the dangers of self-isolation.
Beautiful simply beautiful
