It really compliments the author, because James Stephens is effusive, witty, poignant, dramatic and rhythmic, making him fun to read, despite having to guess at the Irish names. In fact, I might just do another one for this collection.Here is the Edna St. Vincent Millay poem that triggered my "rose and fell and rose and fell again" comment:williamjones wrote: ↑June 10th, 2020, 9:17 amThis wonderful reading is PL OK!!msfry wrote: ↑June 8th, 2020, 4:51 pm I have added The Birth of Bran by James Stephens, and added the meta data into the Magic Window.

In fact, "OK" is a galactic understatment.
The tides of your voice rose and fell and rose and fell again.
It is a symphonic performance.
Love this poem. I've taught it to my students for years.

Love is Not All (Sonnet XXX)
Edna St. Vincent Millay - 1892-1950
Love is not all: it is not meat nor drink
Nor slumber nor a roof against the rain;
Nor yet a floating spar to men that sink
And rise and sink and rise and sink again;
Love can not fill the thickened lung with breath,
Nor clean the blood, nor set the fractured bone;
Yet many a man is making friends with death
Even as I speak, for lack of love alone.
It well may be that in a difficult hour,
Pinned down by pain and moaning for release,
Or nagged by want past resolution's power,
I might be driven to sell your love for peace,
Or trade the memory of this night for food.
It well may be. I do not think I would.
Hi Cavaet, I am unable to download your file. Not sure why. Please resubmit it using the correct spelling "bryusov". Maybe that will fix the problem, though I don't understand why I can't download it. It says "file not found".cavaet wrote: ↑June 10th, 2020, 5:07 pm https://librivox.org/uploads/alg1001/lovestories3_marblebustatrampsstory_brushoff_mdl_128kb.mp3
