OK this is an experiment (mtl3p's idea, implemented for In Flanders Fields):
Below is a poem, by William Blake. Let's see how many different versions we can get done this week. Multiple versions is the idea. Due Date: Sat, November 19.
Introduce with the regular LibriVox stuff, and add: "Read by [name], in [place], [date]."

THE VOICE OF THE ANCIENT BARD
by William Blake
Youth of delight! come hither
And see the opening morn,
Image of Truth new-born.
Doubt is fled, and clouds of reason,
Dark disputes and artful teazing.
Folly is an endless maze;
Tangled roots perplex her ways;
How many have fallen there!
They stumble all night over bones of the dead;
And feel--they know not what but care;
And wish to lead others, when they should be led.

mine's not great - but i'll get better. this one was too fast. but I wanted to have some feeling of drama.
i sent it to hugh - don't have anywhere to post it right now.
i was kind of intimidated by the poem - not having much of an idea what it was about. I did 15 min of research on it - and found that the experts are pretty confused by it as well - so that reassured me.

Heheh it is a strange poem, and difficult. I have no idea what it's about, either, and didn't even research it -- but I have a vague feeling that it's about religious faith versus, um, non-faith, or science, or something... I dunno, I just got that impression, so that's how I read it :) Wasn't Blake a mystic or something?
*shows impressive ignorance*
I'm going to choose something a bit more straightforward for next week's poem!

Thanks for checking!! I am so glad this works. YouSendIt was down, so it made me get industrious. Goodbye OurMedia and YouSendIt (except I have to leave my podcast at the archive, because it will quickly eat up my 175MB and bandwidth)

Okay, I just posted my "Voice of the Ancient Bard" and THEN listened to the other versions. This is so cool! Thanks, everyone, for this fun thing! All different; all true!

hello all. Just joined and have been listening to the weekly poem. Great fun, thanks to all! Kayray, please choose quickly as I can't wait to have a bash at the next poem. I think it would be a good start for me rather than just grabbing a chapter. Hopefully folk will like the "old tones" and that will boost my confidence for something a little bigger ...
