Etel - the recording is great, but I notice there's a copyright notice on the page: "Copyright 1945, 1951, 8 1955, 1979, 1983 by the President and Fellows of Harvard College. Reprinted with the permission of The Belknap Press of Harvard University Press." We'll need to find a different source for it (one that isn't under copyright).

EDIT: I found it here: http://www.theotherpages.org/poems/dickin01.html#15 so I'll use that as the source. :)

CaprishaPage wrote:Great! Thanks, Tricia! Here is the second! :D Feels good to have these submitted earlier! I don't usually do poems this long, but I thought this one was interesting. I think I caught most of the errors, but there is a lot of poem here. :D

Old Souls by Thomas Gordon Hake (1809–94)
I liked the poem! Here's what I found:

1:05 (line 18) - read "could rise it to a sense of life" should be "rouse"

2:44 (line 49) - read "unannaled" should be "un-annealed" (a-NEELD) - your choice if you want to fix. ;)

3:31 (line 66) - read "when in the morning hymn" should be "when it"

5:00 (line 98) - read "the downright stroke" should be "downward"

5:18 (line 103) - read "as time comes on" should be "as night"

5:25 (line 106) - read "he busies on his own affairs" should be "still busied"

6:48 (line 134) - read "he is the workhouse" should be "he is in"

8:01 (line 160) - read "smiles back on his own" should be "smiles back his own" (no "on")

9:13 (line 186) - read "while from his side fresh ichor falls" should be "flows"

10:24 (line 212) - read "set him up and pull him down" should be "put"

10:47 - a loud snap sound in this line: "No mitre on his forehead sits"
Okay, I think I got them fixed. I reuploaded with the same file name. Duration: 11:23
I edited out the section of audio with the loud snap and recorded that bit, but when I play it back, it still sounds like it is there. Would you check that for me, and let me know what you think? I haven't encountered that before. It has me baffled. It could be my speakers or that I am anticipating it. But let me know what you think.

Thanks! Caprisha

Hmmm. The first 3 edits weren't done. Is this really the edited file?

Welcome! Do you want "Nattalia Godwin" to be your catalog name (what shows up on the catalog pages)?

Two small things:

- The volume is too low. It's at 81.2, so it needs to come up about 8 dB. If you amplify, you'll need to do noise cleaning as well. Are you familiar with these processes, or do you need pointers? :)

- at 1:00, you read, "So as you come and as you depart". Text is "So as you come and as you do depart". It's a minor variance, but I know sonnets are very strict on number of syllables per line, so I mention it in case you want to change it. :)
