Here's just two more (feeling a wee bit lazy today)...

17 - When the Year Grows Old: http://upload.librivox.org/share/uploads/dtg/renascence_17_millay.mp3

and 18 - "Though art not lovelier than lilacs, -- no": http://upload.librivox.org/share/uploads/dtg/renascence_18_millay.mp3

... eh, there's some background noise during the second stanza of Poem 18 (Mom was doing some Spring cleaning in the next room)... so FC? in your feedback, could you say whether it's too much of a distraction or not? thankyouthankyou!

A very little bit of noise in #18; it was over so quickly and didn't affect hearing the words at all, IMO.

So #17 and 18 - all okay.

I did notice that the title entered for #18 is written "THOUGH art not lovelier...." when it should be "THOU art not lovelier" - minor point.

oh, hehe, thx for catching catching that... I don't suppose you'd like to listen to the rest of 'em?

PL'd Poems 19 - 23. 19 to 22 all okay.

I had a minor point on #23, Bluebeard, regarding the pronunciation of "writhings" (line 6: no writhings of distress) - I've always heard it with a long "i" rather than an "e" sound - but it may just be a different type of pronunciation. Not trying to be picky, but it could change the meaning (although I rather like the idea of wreathings of distress...).

Anyways, good reading of some deeply moody poems, Caf!

damn. no, you're right... just a bad habit of mine (for some reason, I keep thinking of the Spanish "i"... and I have no idea why)... Here it is again:

Awesome. I may not be able to catalogue it until the weekend, but I will get on it as soon as I can. Congratulations on finishing another audiobook.
