Time is 11:42
I loved the enumeration of holy things in this final poem Didn't you get a knot in your tongue for constantly saying "holy" there ?

Nor errors found, can be marked PL ok.

Sonia

Thanks, Sonia! It was a bit of a tongue-twister, but I think I tripped more on some of the holy things themselves.

ok now this is one strange stage play

no wonder it is not famous anymore today.

Kinda confusing with all the persons and the language seems not to be too dignified either...

I found a small error here:

> at 0:35: "Christ Church, Oxford, 1630" - you say "1639"

other than that, all ok.

I think it was a problem of contiguity: the 1630 was jammed up against the word not. I separated the two.

I will also claim the short Section 14: Comedy of a Madman

edit: also Section 17: Anecdotes of Abstraction of Mind with the nice Italian poem.

excellent reading again Jim.

though this time I had a bit of an eerie moment. At about 15:12 minutes, starting with "vibrate in the plaudits of an audience" your voice changes tone, I almost thought it was a different person

Did you change microphone there or is it just a technical quirk ? Nothing you need to change though, I just wanted to mention it because I found it a bit strange, that's all, and I was curious what was different.

Or maybe it was only my ears playing me tricks, wouldn't be the first time.

Anyway, the section itself has no errors, so PL ok.
