I would like to claim 17 My Primrose.

This is my first attempt; I've submitted my test and had it OK'd by the admin.

My forum name is tragicabbot.

Cheers!
Craig

hi craig, welcome to librivox!

thank you for claiming a poem. i have signed you up, your personal catalog page is here: https://librivox.org/reader/10608

the magic window works with forum names, but you can choose to appear under a different name than your forum name in "public": on the catalog pages of our project, and on pages of third parties who use our recordings. i have now signed you up as tragicabbot, but you can also go by your first-and last name, only first name, a pseudonym, etc. - and we can link to your personal website or blog if you like.

just saying because i am not sure if you were aware of this possibility

Thanks Carolin. In that case, please set my Catalog name to Craig Abbott when you get a chance.

Section 08.
Please extend the silence at the end to a full 5 seconds.
Just for your consideration, at 29 seconds the line is "Unbend thy bow and rest with us awhile". You pronounce 'bow' as 'bough', like in the bough or a tree. I think it means to unbend a bow, as in an archer's bow. This is completely up to you if you want to change it, as it is a matter of interpretation.

At 1 minute 29 seconds the line is "By other path this height is ne'er attained". You pronounce "ne'er" as 'near'. I believe it is pronounced 'nair' meaning 'never'.

Thank you.

You have a very nice tone of voice.

yes there's a few words I was a bit unsure of pronounciation wise - it could be my accent as well, but i'll give it another go cos I need to extend to the full five seconds at the end.... I'll record it again tomorrow cos it's getting a bit late now..... xxxxxx

Thank you very much for the compliments, MaryAnne!

May I also read Section 81 - "My Rest"?

Carolin · Post by **Carolin** » February 3rd, 2016, 2:57 am

thank you both!

ivory, i also think the difference in pronunciation is just a regional accent-thing, so i changed it to pl ok

thanks a lot!
