Rare 1930s Audio: W.B. Yeats Reads Four of His Poems
- Craiggybear 14y agoThis is amazing. It has quite made my day.
- boredguy8 14y agosalon.com used to have T.S. Eliot reading "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" but the web page that references the audio (http://www.salon.com/2000/10/05/eliot/ http://www.salon.com/2000/10/05/eliot/) no longer has a link to the audio. One of those sad losses to website redesign, I assume. It was a pleasant reading and of my favorite things to listen to from time to time...I post the comment hoping someone can help me find the link somewhere. So far, I've not had luck.

- boredguy8 14y agoYes, thanks. I found a few other recordings this time searching Google (http://town.hall.org/radio/HarperAudio/011894_harp_ITH.html http://town.hall.org/radio/HarperAudio/011894_harp_ITH.html), so who knows why it failed before.
- metaphorical 14y agoThat's lovely. Sometimes I thought of the Innisfree poem while I toiled in front of my computer! Related: Auden wrote a great poem called In Memory of W.B. Yeats. Read by the poet: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ygjgQt76x5w http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ygjgQt76x5w
- hk_kh 14y agoGood. If you are into these things, this is also a good audio Pour en finir avec le jugement de Dieu - Antonin Artaud - 1948 [1] [1]: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CiTiz2fxJcM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CiTiz2fxJcM
- EdgarVerona 14y agoListening to his description of the creation and meaning of the Lake Isle of Innisfree makes me realize that I overthink the meaning of poems.
