If we do meet again, why, we shall smile;
If not, why then, this parting was well made.

Ready for PL!

I took all of Nemo's feedback and got those fixed and found a few more lines where I mispronounced words and re-recorded those. I'm not 100% sure if it turned out fine, but I tried to normalize the new parts with the rest of the old parts to make them sound close. Hope this works out!

Thanks Melanie!

For future ones, could you also list the length of the piece to be included in the MW and so I have an idea of how long it is before I listen.

A few notes:

At a time of 0:31.5, the line reads: “And tumult of the street”, and I heard you read: “And torment of the street”

At a time of 0:44.5, the line reads: “His thin lips breathed a song.”, and I heard you read: “His lips breathed a song.” - leaving out the word “thin”.

These first two either change the meaning or the metre of the poem.

At a time of 1:59.5, the line reads: “Upon the mountain-tops,”, and I heard you read: “Upon mountain-tops,” - leaving out the word “the”. This one does not change the meaning at all, so I wouldn’t usually mention it (or fix it), but just wanted to point it out in case you wanted to edit it as long as you are doing the others .... totally up to you!!

Thanks,

Nemo

Thank you! Good practise to edit the documents. I was saying tumult, but I guess it was my accent. I listed to some people saying it in RP and tried to copy that.

Great pick-up on "far-off ships" I remember reading that and think it was odd, but since "tar" is a sailor, I thought it might just be a term I hadn't heard. But, you are obviously correct. Thanks.

Sorry to hold this up -- just inundated with things on the other side of real life. (LV is real life too!)
