Re: ~The Canterbury Tales and Other Poems by Geoffrey Chaucer - lt
Here's the Squire's Tale, section 18. I had no idea how to sound like a nice young man impersonating a lovesick female hawk, so just winged it. Also guessed at some of the pronunciations of words no longer commonly in use--glad to change anything that doesn't work. This was fun! https://librivox.org...

Re: Don't you hate...
Ha! If you're stuck, you COULD throw the section back into the claim pool. There's no shame in it. I've done it a few times. :) I could, indeed. Instead I've tried recording it but haven't nerved myself to listen back yet. The consolation is that probably most readers will not have heard actual nic...

Re: Don't you hate...
...when you suddenly realize that you, as a middle-aged woman, are not at all sure how to sound like a nice young man who is trying to sound like a lovelorn female hawk, but that is what you need to do for about a quarter of the chapter you claimed

Re: SOLO: Sonnets from Hafez & other verses by Elizabeth Bridges - lt
Thank you! Here are sections 3 and 4. After this it's on to the actual Hafez-based poems. Thank you for PLing and thanks for your patience with my very slow reading. I signed up for a bunch of LV projects in my first enthusiasm at being back, and am trying to figure out which to read first... https:...

Re: SOLO: Sonnets from Hafez & other verses by Elizabeth Bridges - lt
Sorry for the long delay. I had a cold and so did my housemates, and it's a small house, so there was a lot of coughing going on for a while there. I've changed the first MW sections, realizing how absurdly short each section would be if I read the poems singly as I'd initially meant to. Sorry--have...

Re: OPEN[DR, POETRY]Within and Without by George MacDonald-mtf
Here are the 3rd Monk and the Hostess--sorry to be late with them. I tried to chant in rhythm with 2nd Monk Todd for the monks' chorus--hope that will fit. Glad to try again if not. 3rd Monk, act 1, 2:59: https://librivox.org/uploads/mightyfelix/withinandwithout_3rdmonk_1.mp3 Hostess, act 2, 2:51: h...

Re: SOLO: Sonnets from Hafez & other verses by Elizabeth Bridges - lt
Thank you very much! I'll shorten the filename as you suggested, and read Hafez's full name only at the beginning and end of the book.

Re: ~SOLO: Sonnets from Hafez & other verses by Elizabeth Bridges
Thank you very much, Christine! I just found out about Hafez thanks to a new friend who read me some of his poems in Farsi and then translated into English on the fly. And, Czandra, I hadn't stopped to think about the outside-the-US copyright restrictions applying to PLing as well as reading, but th...
