00:00:10.490 - 00:00:19.410

We have any audience to tell us tonight considering the weather. This is the last of this series this semester.

00:00:19.410 - 00:00:27.190

And as far as I know, they says to the series for the second semester as well, these February 15th.

00:00:27.190 - 00:00:37.790

So that's subject to change. I think that I've chosen there is programmed for this evening. I haven't had as many requests as usual.

00:00:37.790 - 00:00:46.580

And I might remind you that I'm always amenable to requests for readings which you run this evening.

00:00:46.580 - 00:00:58.520

I'm going to read what I think is one of the most delightful passages are other sections from it. In Basel Johnson and Dr. Johnson's.

00:00:58.520 - 00:01:05.750

And then we have difficulty in seeing because we see so many angles and we see so much as we see him

00:01:05.750 - 00:01:12.770

to Mrs. trail and fan event any and thousands and thousands of others. And of course, they have

00:01:12.770 - 00:01:22.430

to say that junction is just a face nowadays and not a great writer, you know, and who studies the lives of thoughts would say

00:01:22.430 - 00:01:31.460

because certainly behind OLS, here remains one of our critics. And we suddenly have needed him in this day and age to catch a great year.

00:01:31.460 - 00:01:40.400

That piece, I should say, with his well-chosen assets, Virginia Woolf has a wonderful essay called Dr. Ben is evenings,

00:01:40.400 - 00:01:49.610

evening time, which I recommend to you what's in volume as the common reader. I gave us his face the second series. Do you remember?

00:01:49.610 - 00:02:02.410

In the second series and that's most say transcribed from Fannie then is direct and touch stuff and put together. And this is a delightful SIR and Johnson.

00:02:02.410 - 00:02:10.080

Indeed, I want to show time. I'm Jonathan myself just occurs to me that I wish I'd brought it. But he was a man of many, many facets.

00:02:10.080 - 00:02:24.900

One of the most dramatic episodes, I think in basketball is junctions meetings. But John Wilkes, if there was one thing, Johnson pages, it was a patriot.

00:02:26.260 - 00:02:36.530

Scientific, patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel. By patriot. He meant one. Binning with radical, are we today call

00:02:36.530 - 00:02:45.410

radical zeal was pretty dangerously close to republicanism. And as you know, Dr. Johnson's not by

00:02:45.410 - 00:02:57.230

very much the wrong size. And the American Revolution, there are 10. The greatest, the most polished manner that has

00:02:57.230 - 00:03:04.320

perhaps outside they are, it has to do with this. Was Horace Walpole, strange recruit for our size.

00:03:04.320 - 00:03:12.140

But at any rate, John Wilkes was a radical and everything. Jonathan Haidt and they'd had passages as arms and print.

00:03:12.140 - 00:03:24.410

And Basel have cost for that. Wonderful recklessness is his. And bringing in Congress together decided, Johnston will mislead.

00:03:24.410 - 00:03:35.740

And this is the account as a meeting, which I think is one of the best passages in Basel. This is a rehearing for most of view.

00:03:35.740 - 00:03:55.050

And you'll notice how much I've cut. I think this first phrase is, boss was a very amusing, is a sidelight on Basel himself.

00:03:55.050 - 00:04:07.890

Tremendous, but almost. It was my desire of being acquainted with celebrated man of every description made me much about the same time,

00:04:07.890 - 00:04:15.890

obtain an introduction to Dr. Samuel Johnson and John. Well, glad to men more different, could perhaps not be selected

00:04:15.890 - 00:04:22.490

out of all mankind, even attacked one another with some spirit in their writings. Yet I lived in habits,

00:04:22.490 - 00:04:28.700

have friendships with each. I could fully relish the exist, the excellence of each. For I have ever delighted

00:04:28.700 - 00:04:36.860

in intellectual chemistry, which can separate good qualities from evil in the same fashion. To John Pringle, mine

00:04:36.860 - 00:04:44.540

own friend and thy father's friends. Between home and Dr. Johnson. I invade wish to establish an equations as I

00:04:44.540 - 00:04:52.820

respected and lived in intimacy with both of them. Observe me was very ingeniously. It is not in friendship as in mathematics,

00:04:52.820 - 00:05:00.570

where two things are equal between themselves. You agree with Judge soon as the middle quality.

00:05:00.570 - 00:05:06.620

And you will agree with me is the middle politics. But Johnson and I should not have great suggestion

00:05:06.620 - 00:05:12.470

was not sufficiently flexible. So I resisted. Knowing indeed is a repulsion was equally strong.

00:05:12.470 - 00:05:19.100

And the thought of Johnson, who I know not for what cause, unless it's being a Scotsman, had found a very erroneous

00:05:19.100 - 00:05:28.310

opinion of Sir John. Fossil thing, a Scotsman to sell on the Johnson's prejudice. But I can see it's an irresistible wish,

00:05:28.310 - 00:05:37.820

if possible, to bring Dr. Johnson, Mr. Wilkes together, how to manage it was a nice and difficult math. I will the booksellers and friends,

00:05:37.820 - 00:05:46.280

basically a delay in the whole stress at whose hospitable and well covered table. I've seen a greater number of literary man than any other,

00:05:46.280 - 00:05:55.780

except that of Sir Joshua Reynolds and invited me to meet Mr. Wells and some odd gentlemen on Wednesday, May 15, price to die.

00:05:55.780 - 00:06:07.940

Let us have Dr. Johnson lot with Mr. Wilkes, not for the world summits to aid with delay. Dr. Johnson would never forgive me. Comes to die.

00:06:07.940 - 00:06:15.110

If you will, let me negotiate file, I will be answerable. That's also go well, delay. Nay.

00:06:15.110 - 00:06:22.900

If you will take it upon you. I'm sure I should be very happy to see them both here. Notwithstanding the high veneration

00:06:22.900 - 00:06:33.740

which I had to change for Dr. Johnson, I was sensibility was sometimes a little actuated by the spirit of contradictions. And di means is that I

00:06:33.740 - 00:06:43.300

hope to actually gain my points. I was persuaded that if I came upon him with a direct proposals. So when you join a company with john Wilkes,

00:06:43.300 - 00:06:50.900

he would have flown into a passion and we'll follow the advances. Diamond John will, sir, sir, I assume John,

00:06:50.900 - 00:06:58.160

Jack catch I therefore, while I was sitting quietly by ourselves that his house in an evening to the occasion

00:06:58.160 - 00:07:05.540

to open my FanGraphs. Mr. Dailey said, senses respectful continents to you. And we'd be happy if you do them neon

00:07:05.540 - 00:07:15.670

as dine with him on Wednesday next along with me as I'm as soon go to Scotland, Johnson. I'm obliged to delay.

00:07:15.670 - 00:07:22.610

I will wait upon him. Also. Provided, sir, I suppose a company which is to

00:07:22.610 - 00:07:32.030

have this available to you. Just what you mean. So what do you take me for? Do you think I'm so ignorant as well as

00:07:32.030 - 00:07:41.990

to imagine that I am prescribed for judgment, company fees to have it his table faster. Oh, I beg your pardon himself. A wishing to prevent you from

00:07:41.990 - 00:07:54.410

meeting people whom you might not like. Perhaps he may have some of what he calls his patriotic friends with him. Johnson. Well sounds but what their care I,

00:07:54.410 - 00:08:09.010

for his patriotic friend fo fossil. I should not be surprised to find Jack Welch. Just and if Jack will should be there. What is that to me says

00:08:09.010 - 00:08:16.610

My girlfriend that is have no more this side to be angry with you. But really it is treating a strange like to talk to me as if I could not

00:08:16.610 - 00:08:24.230

meet any company, whatever. Occasionally, fossils, pray, Forgive me, say I meant well, but you make, you shall meet

00:08:24.230 - 00:08:31.730

whoever comes for me. That's I securities until delay that he would sign him very well pleased to be one of these guess someday

00:08:31.730 - 00:08:40.070

authorities found much expected Wednesdays. I call on him about half an hour. The thought dinners are often did we are to dine out

00:08:40.070 - 00:08:47.630

together to see that he was ready in time to come near him. I found him decluttering is booked as a father thought

00:08:47.630 - 00:08:56.910

were occasions covered with dust and making no preparation for going abroad. How is this said? I go to recollect

00:08:56.910 - 00:09:04.670

that you are done with the delays. Just said I did not think you're going to miss the delays. It went out of my head.

00:09:04.670 - 00:09:12.080

I bought a dinner at home versus Williams fossil. That my idea is, you know, you are engaged with the delay

00:09:12.080 - 00:09:20.780

and I told yourself, he will expect you to be much disappointed if you don't come. Just talk to Mrs. Williams about this.

00:09:20.780 - 00:09:30.310

This is Williams beings fashion or just seasonal lines. Laid a rule them with a rod of iron. Here is a sad dilemma.

00:09:30.310 - 00:09:37.760

I think that what our self-confident find secured should yet the frustrated. Here the customer themselves show Mrs. Williams such a degree

00:09:37.760 - 00:09:46.010

of humane attention as frequently ampho some restraint upon him. And I knew that if she should the obstinate, he would not stir.

00:09:46.010 - 00:09:54.750

I hasten downstairs the blind ladies rooms until I was in great uneasiness. Dr. Johnson, we didn't engage to meet it down on this date, mr.

00:09:54.750 - 00:10:03.930

Delays. But they told me he'd forgotten his engagements. Audit dinner at home. Yes, sir. Suchi for a feverish lay,

00:10:03.930 - 00:10:15.200

Dr. Johnson's to dine with me. Madison said, I respect to u is such that I know you'll leave you unless you absolutely desires.

00:10:15.200 - 00:10:22.830

But as you have so much of his company, I hope you will be good enough, forgot for one day, as Mr. Dailey is a very wealthy man,

00:10:22.830 - 00:10:30.480

that's frequently had agreeable thought as it is house for Dr. Johnson's annuity, is the ducts and neglect seem today.

00:10:30.480 - 00:10:37.780

And then madam B3 is to consider my situation. I carried the message and I should Mr. Gillette,

00:10:37.780 - 00:10:46.010

dr. Johnson has to come and no doubt he has made dinner and invited, accompany, and posted as a honor he expected to have.

00:10:46.010 - 00:10:54.470

I should be quite disgraced if the doctor is not there. She gradually softens my solicitations, which was Sydney is honest,

00:10:54.470 - 00:11:00.830

is most in treaties to light it is for any occasion. And it has graciously freeze and thaw me to tell Dr.

00:11:00.830 - 00:11:08.060

Johnson that all things considered as she thought he should suddenly go, I flew back to him still in dust and

00:11:08.060 - 00:11:15.860

Kayla's of what should be the events, indifferent in his choice to go or stay. Soon as I announced to him, Mrs. Williams consent,

00:11:15.860 - 00:11:23.910

he wrote Frank a clean shift and it was very soon dressed. When I had him fairly seeded and a hackney copes with me.

00:11:23.910 - 00:11:31.780

I exalted as much as a fortune hunter who's got an areas into a post Shays with them to set out for grandma greens.

00:11:31.780 - 00:11:40.580

When we ended with the delays drawing room, he found himself in the midst of accompany. He did not know. I kept myself snug in silence,

00:11:40.580 - 00:11:52.850

watching how you would conduct himself. I observed him whispering to Mr. delay foods. That gentleman says just oscillate. Just did,

00:11:52.850 - 00:12:04.650

which is one of his habitual mastery. Vista oddly, could not be very obnoxious to Johnson's for you is not only a patriot, but in the Americans.

00:12:04.650 - 00:12:14.190

It was actually his Minister of the United States to the column address. And who is that gentlemen inlays? Mr. Wilkes.

00:12:14.190 - 00:12:22.490

This information confounded him still, he had some difficulty to restrain himself and taking out the book, sat down at a time,

00:12:22.490 - 00:12:29.310

a Windows 8 and read, or at least kept his eye appointment and template for some time till he composed himself,

00:12:29.310 - 00:12:36.530

his feelings, ideas and it'll open in that. But he no doubt recollected is having rated wafer supposing he could be at all this

00:12:36.530 - 00:12:45.170

can cities that any company. And he therefore residue a set himself to the hay fighters and easy man of the world who could adapt

00:12:45.170 - 00:12:53.770

himself at once to the disposition in matters of those suing my chance to me, the sharing sound. Dinner is found in the table.

00:12:53.770 - 00:13:01.370

Result is rent revenue. And we all sat down without any symptoms avail humerus. There were presence beside

00:13:01.370 - 00:13:09.800

Mr. Wilson, Mr. Oscillate, who is an ELL companion of mine when he studied physic is Edinburgh. Mr. Miller, Dr. Let's admit Mr.

00:13:09.800 - 00:13:20.090

Slight has a drug is Mr. Wilkes placed himself next to Dr. Johnson. And the Hadean was so much attention and for likeness that he gained upon him insensibly.

00:13:20.090 - 00:13:28.100

No man ate nor less than Johnson or log data about was nice and delicate. Misty Wilson's very assiduous

00:13:28.100 - 00:13:36.860

in helping him some time. Deal. Hey, give me Lisa. It is a little bit of brown, awesome fats, a little

00:13:36.860 - 00:13:42.980

bit stuffing, some gradate. Let me have the pleasure of giving you some data that allow me to recommend a squeezy,

00:13:42.980 - 00:13:53.910

this orange, lemon, perhaps that may have. Zest, says, I will bleed. She says five, Jackson's bowing and turning his hand to him with love.

00:13:53.910 - 00:14:06.940

For some time, sell it at you in a short while, a complex and say Did it goes on those conversations

00:14:06.940 - 00:14:14.390

and oxygen. Sir Arthur Lee mentioned some Scot. She was taking possession of a barren thought of America.

00:14:14.390 - 00:14:22.880

And why they should choose is Johnson. Why Sarah? All barrenness is compact is the Scots would not know it to

00:14:22.880 - 00:14:32.990

be barons. Come, comes. He's flattering English. You've now been in Scotland cell and say if you did not

00:14:32.990 - 00:14:41.300

see meat and drink enough, says Johnson's life. Yes. Meat and drink enough to give the inhabitants sufficient strength to

00:14:41.300 - 00:14:51.260

run away from home. All these freaking lie the size we said spotlights and with a smile shows that he meant home a width.

00:14:51.260 - 00:14:58.970

On this topic here, Mr. we'll skip telophase similarly, here was the founder of union between them. And I was conscious, that is,

00:14:58.970 - 00:15:08.120

both of them had visited Caledonia. Both will fully satisfied with strange now ignorance of those. So imagine that this is the land, the salmon,

00:15:08.120 - 00:15:16.060

but AMUs themselves, the face severe e-mail Jeff, when I came, the superiority of Scotland, England in one respect,

00:15:16.060 - 00:15:24.170

no man can be arrested there for death. It because another swears it against him. But they must first be the judgment of the court of

00:15:24.170 - 00:15:31.820

law as attaining its justice. And that a seizure is the first and the four judgement is obtained can take place

00:15:31.820 - 00:15:40.490

only if the creditors should swear. He is about to fly the country, as it is technically expressed, is in metatalk the ELM,

00:15:40.490 - 00:15:51.020

a food guy that actually think may be safely throng of all Scottish nation. Johnson mr. With us.

00:15:51.020 - 00:15:58.560

No, sir. I like they took my friend Basel and showed him genuine, civilized life in an English provincial town.

00:15:58.560 - 00:16:11.210

I turn him loose, Litchfield, my native city. That he might see for once real civility. For you know, he lives among savages in Scotland and among rate in London with,

00:16:11.210 - 00:16:24.560

except when he is with waves have a decent people like you and me. Jonathan smiling and we ashamed. They were quite frank and easy.

00:16:24.560 - 00:16:32.600

Just until the style is asking this is my colleagues to allow her footmen to sit down with them to prove the ridiculousness of the arguments

00:16:32.600 - 00:16:40.400

for the equality of mankind. And he said to me afterwards, do the not as satisfaction. You saw Mr. Wilkes acquiesced,

00:16:40.400 - 00:16:48.910

will talk to the all imaginable freedom is ludicrous title given to the Attorney General, the atlas Vegas adding

00:16:48.910 - 00:16:58.190

I have reason to know something about that. Our process for I was prosecuted for a liveable Johnson who many people would have suppose

00:16:58.190 - 00:17:07.020

must have been furiously angry. And hearing this talk to have cellulite, they said not one word. He was now indeed good natured fellows.

00:17:07.020 - 00:17:13.440

After dinner, we had an exception to Mrs. knows, the Quaker lady, well-known for her various talents.

00:17:13.440 - 00:17:25.670

Mr. Ultimately, amid some patriotic grows. Somebody I think they all said, your old England is lost. Just said is not so much to be lamented.

00:17:25.670 - 00:17:35.720

That old England is lost as it's the scotch, as soundness said, Lord Kelvin, Scotland now may, I should not have taken the trouble to write

00:17:35.720 - 00:17:44.240

his eulogy and dedicate to him. Mr. Welch held a candle to show a fine print is a beautiful female figure which hung in

00:17:44.240 - 00:17:51.560

the room and pointed out the elegant contour of the bosom with the finger of an arch. Conner says The afterwards

00:17:51.560 - 00:18:00.990

in a conversation with me, wagging, she insisted that all the time Johnson showed visible signs of ascent and admiration of the Charms is the fat.

00:18:00.990 - 00:18:10.450

Quick guess. I tend to jump to jumps from home has a satisfaction to helium shell Mrs. Williams, how much he had been, Please, Mr. whoops,

00:18:10.450 - 00:18:33.250

is companies and find an agreeable zag path. I feel a little Java itself in this. As you know, these programs hodgepodge. And the next selection,

00:18:33.250 - 00:18:46.000

as Charles, is a very sharp pros, selection from William has some general remarks about the relations of living poet with each other.

00:18:46.000 - 00:18:56.840

And that critics and also about the judgment of living poet. Kinda got coming in here. I'm going to just gives you two supposedly

00:18:56.840 - 00:19:11.430

could come over here to the chair. We can move the whichever way you admit it and don't take it. Just gotta go through a little data then.

00:19:19.690 - 00:19:34.270

Thanks very well. This is more or less introductory. We are more or less introductory to modern times.

00:19:34.270 - 00:19:45.970

I want to read some by Louis Kansas and others. You've just come out. So this is Hazlett writing

00:19:45.970 - 00:19:57.220

as a living thoughts of his own time. So the romantic poets, so familiar to us all and has this very keen judge

00:19:57.220 - 00:20:09.330

and made fewer mistakes about its contemporaries and most critics. I would speak of the living poets as I've spoken of the desk.

00:20:09.330 - 00:20:20.090

I think highly of many awesome. But I cannot speak them with the same reverence because I do not feel it. The same confidence because I cannot have

00:20:20.090 - 00:20:30.950

the same authority to sanction my opinion. I candidly absolute you for a second, anybody 20 years hence? I think anything about any of them.

00:20:30.950 - 00:20:39.240

But when they do fully sure, Milton and Shakespeare will be remember 20 years hence. We are therefore not without excuse.

00:20:39.240 - 00:20:52.790

If we husband our enthusiasm and at home and do not prematurity prematurely, layout whole stuff in uncharged ventures. And what may turn out to be false thoughts.

00:20:52.790 - 00:21:05.600

I have myself outlived one generation of favorite poets, Darwin's, Haley's, the sewers. Well, I'm thinking back to

00:21:05.600 - 00:21:17.510

some very well-known for almost forgotten now. When I was younger, Amy level gets erased.

00:21:17.510 - 00:21:29.030

This column is known as hell, and I could go on naming half a dozen to John, so, right, nice. Indeed. I recently met young people who've

00:21:29.030 - 00:21:46.330

never even Amy Lowell's name. And yes, she caused about 1920s. Who reads them now? If however, I have not devoted

00:21:46.330 - 00:21:54.520

to posterity their way out in bestowing the most unqualified praises are their immediate successors. It is also to be remember that

00:21:54.520 - 00:22:04.490

neither does it mean condemning him. He then follows with a very amusing passage. It's a little ironic. Indeed, it was not my wish to

00:22:04.490 - 00:22:12.440

go into this ungrateful thought. The subjects with something the SWOT is expected from me, and I must run the gauntlet as well I can.

00:22:12.440 - 00:22:21.590

Another circumstance this adds to the difficulty of doing justice to all parties is that I happen to have had a personal acquaintance,

00:22:21.590 - 00:22:33.560

some of these jealous boundaries of the muse. And that is not the likeliest way to invite a highest in the rest. Poets do not praise one

00:22:33.560 - 00:22:44.210

another in the language of high fabulous. I'm afraid therefore that I labor under degree of prejudice against some of

00:22:44.210 - 00:22:52.650

the most popular poets of the day. From an LA, habit of deference to the critical opinions of some of the least popular.

00:22:53.020 - 00:23:03.500

I cannot say that I have much about Shakespeare and Milton Spenser on Chaucer from nice professed guides for I never heard them say much about them.

00:23:03.500 - 00:23:11.580

We're always talking of themselves and one another. My sentiment, this sort of personal cost of living authors,

00:23:11.580 - 00:23:19.190

while it takes away all route, real relish or freedom of opinion with regard to their contemporaries greatly enhances

00:23:19.190 - 00:23:27.870

our respect to themselves. Poets are not ideal veins that have their pros size. That's the Communists to FIFO.

00:23:27.870 - 00:23:37.980

We often hear a patient say, they're given to seeing Shakespeare. For my thought, I would give a great deal. Must've seen.

00:23:43.990 - 00:23:59.920

Well it is with some dividends. Certainly makes bold statements about modern poets. I suppose the word great FASB

00:23:59.920 - 00:24:12.520

reserved in modern poetry for not more than four or five names. Who is grade in fifth century, the first half of the 20th century.

00:24:12.520 - 00:24:27.770

About though, grade according to all possible standards. I suppose job with veggies, Robert Frost and Robinson than anyone else.

00:24:28.780 - 00:24:38.880

Second strain, Haussmann. Some of the beautiful lyrics is the Georgians. This very dangerous speak,

00:24:38.880 - 00:24:45.980

greatness or lasting policy. We can't be sure. On the other hand, once I want to make the mistake of saying,

00:24:45.980 - 00:24:52.670

since we can judge that it's therefore avoid it next time through the system. If that were true, you see,

00:24:52.670 - 00:25:04.850

then we should have no poetry TO that I care is what's happening. The whole lot of poetry is in such a state of confusion that people are avoiding.

00:25:04.850 - 00:25:17.960

It's the general reader is avoiding, is the clinics have fenced off rather. And then two, we've seen so many reputations inflated.

00:25:17.960 - 00:25:27.920

And we've seen this that we've become a little cynical. Perhaps we don't want to be deceived again. Sometimes as in the case

00:25:27.920 - 00:25:35.090

of the images school, that was such a bid for self advertisement that we all became disgusted.

00:25:35.090 - 00:25:45.020

And so it goes yet, the fact remains that poetry is a fine grain whether benign authoritarian minor trace

00:25:45.020 - 00:25:57.080

isn't its way as important as major poetry. Poetry is, go to the shop there because the great ethics, those things go on

00:25:57.390 - 00:26:09.610

there there if we look fathers. And I suppose that part of the job as anyone who criticizes or rights or makes judgments, judgments at all, is to

00:26:09.610 - 00:26:18.790

call his findings to the attention of his fence. Well, that's a long introduction to 3D. I'm going to get, suppose if

00:26:18.790 - 00:26:32.920

Louis kids I possess. Louis can both. Thanks to my friend Dick Francisco. Because my own coffee

00:26:32.920 - 00:26:49.570

has run off with an outer radius. During the war, broke out on vacation, was in the army libraries. Libraries. And I received a good man, a poet.

00:26:49.570 - 00:26:59.680

He's written by men in the armed forces. For criticism, fact, scholars, even hundreds. And I tried to be as conscientious is faster than correcting

00:26:59.680 - 00:27:09.670

involved commenting in all settings. But I found corresponds to one young man, youngish man, or a man evident if

00:27:09.670 - 00:27:22.390

cultivation Scala poetic never published. And I discovered that these extraordinary poems I was dealing with and for scarce they

00:27:22.390 - 00:27:30.250

said they would send off the Atlantic and other magazines it once accepted. And low in childhood is

00:27:30.250 - 00:27:38.480

that he finally got together this book called The questions is the air that correspond to them regularly. He lives right in Washington.

00:27:38.480 - 00:27:48.980

He has a job, they're found in the government. He and his wife are delightful people with this back and forth long intervals is not,

00:27:48.980 - 00:27:58.580

I'm sorry to say writing now, his book had a sadly typical history, API depth. And come they brought out

00:27:58.580 - 00:28:07.850

is both the questions that they ask about or five years ago. They brought it out in a very small edition, 500, 700,

00:28:07.850 - 00:28:22.550

that's all in the publishers chance. 950. It is a challenge for J nowadays. The book 1 Michelle awol on which has a very fine Iran,

00:28:22.550 - 00:28:38.390

given 1 every yes and sold out immediately. And then publish it. Never issued it. And then not to be blamed too much publishes simply do

00:28:38.390 - 00:28:52.050

not dairy issue poetry anymore because it is selling some of that in now back of the US. They usually lies cellular financial aspect

00:28:52.050 - 00:29:00.350

and thought is not VOD and therefore, the greater the very good poetry is coming out in one edition and then disappears.

00:29:00.350 - 00:29:08.330

So it wasn't his book of kids. I don't think you can get a coffee. When my young friend inadvertently ran off with my coffee,

00:29:08.330 - 00:29:16.520

I think he just facts yeah, for this book. I wrote, Louis can't asked him if he had an extra coffee. Now he had only one.

00:29:16.520 - 00:29:23.690

Published his nurse to say add another coffee. Now they had one if n. And so it goes.

00:29:23.690 - 00:29:31.220

And then I tell him I dilemma, which Francisco who generously gave me his coffee. But what ought to happen,

00:29:31.220 - 00:29:41.440

of course, is invoked with this. Soft should be reissued. Nobody dares take a chance on issuing volumes of poetry.

00:29:41.440 - 00:29:52.020

Of course, even novels. Slumping nowadays. And the publishes frightened and in some ways you can scarcely blindness.

00:29:52.020 - 00:29:59.060

But at the same time, the child has said this far, I was like These are the enrichment and have

00:29:59.060 - 00:30:07.360

so small and audience. And that is Danish, young Danish fact that translated to fuel this poem in that country.

00:30:07.360 - 00:30:21.780

3 million in his book, so nearly 300000. This book of poems. And in this country of 160 million, is it a good sales approach?

00:30:21.780 - 00:30:37.750

Is 2000 customers to bad situation? This point, Louis CAN, is called mid-summer lyrics. Some of them are pictures of people.

00:30:37.750 - 00:30:55.130

This one I'm going to read versus girls request about potential life. Limerick, mid-summer, open the door, the morning doth mock

00:30:55.130 - 00:31:06.280

the blue blades of grass against the sun and the round head standing up. Yet these will pass for MS. Draws on the blade.

00:31:06.280 - 00:31:16.940

And blackbirds following and high knew that shop and Lee summa hungry tree will turn the cuttings over and over when

00:31:16.940 - 00:31:29.630

truly is black and so on the lawn, mowing over, summer is gone. And when sunflower heist, you see on the monstrous fruit his face,

00:31:29.630 - 00:31:39.350

a kitting of yellow finches. Hello there swimming as low as moaning lay the thaw. Then close the door.

00:31:39.350 - 00:31:58.820

The evening dawn. Incantation of poetry. And so is this called the Huns. The dark socks roles on his lolling tongue,

00:31:58.820 - 00:32:07.190

the frosty graces the morning, he posts his nose to the sense of day. He switched his eyes to the yellow sun. He feels in his heart to

00:32:07.190 - 00:32:15.540

rising sun that is lifted. It takes running. The harm blows to. Heroines breakthrough.

00:32:15.540 - 00:32:25.970

The hunters spreads, the Huntsman rise and the red tail goes on that. The dark tax breaks to

00:32:25.970 - 00:32:36.940

a hidden hole and deep and nothing goes under. His defense hunch and poises is pads. He got his spit on him, drops his tail.

00:32:36.940 - 00:32:50.870

It down says is to the gathering some that couching as they go out, blowing hard, they hang how shattering hoof, shaking ground and the red tails

00:32:50.870 - 00:33:00.350

stays on that heavy. The Huntsman will fall to that heavily snow till morning. The hunter will browse and shapes

00:33:00.350 - 00:33:09.170

the stall when I have a full and hanging his head, the how and when I'm done with the awnings, sleep as the moon goes

00:33:09.170 - 00:33:21.870

under and deepen the shade. Night will create the fox to his feast on the feathered roost and die until the sun is dawning.

00:33:23.500 - 00:33:36.750

There's a real within those poems, I mean, with a profound sense of humor, beautiful added sense to each word seems to me

00:33:36.750 - 00:34:04.040

and the music is the real thing, isn't it? That undefinable lyric quality is called the last day of school. Declare eyes, blue eyes,

00:34:04.040 - 00:34:15.980

bland eyes of the children are watching illness Amazon to the light itself morning hours and sat in the new. Now they're wide eyes, dark eyes,

00:34:15.980 - 00:34:27.450

our eyes sit you from the deep corners of the room. I'll link size narrow to the level life. Observe his eyes miss Amazon's.

00:34:27.450 - 00:34:38.900

That boys staring the clock phase round. They do not dare you rather window pane, observe this Amazon S3 or talk his flight like

00:34:38.900 - 00:34:58.100

the astounded hummingbirds that poiesis over the startling northern sites. Before he plunges to the flower. That's the real transformation as the usual,

00:34:58.100 - 00:35:11.460

if we look far, isn't it? Now this soil without a lot of nice, delightful, It's in several fast to which our radius.

00:35:11.620 - 00:35:21.990

It is a matter of fact, a very humorous picture of his own father. So is devoted to liberate some live in a world of his own.

00:35:21.990 - 00:35:30.120

And just as cat says, it flips around and stuff well-designed and he has an actual family, a flesh and blood.

00:35:31.270 - 00:35:48.160

And one of the world's inhabitants was the world of these wonderful people. For tilde about limits, called a bed and the Bush.

00:35:48.160 - 00:36:01.600

He dreams of characters who kick in meat and tales of limerick. Food placed on name to run. Again as FNM, the partners man,

00:36:01.600 - 00:36:15.130

wondering from the fence rail how valences Bush, this is the native Lynn and yaw and where serine and cameras

00:36:15.130 - 00:36:24.710

and all that wonders. Family Reiss, who's don't have travel faster than light. As the fifth stanza,

00:36:24.710 - 00:36:35.430

I should have read you the limerick, which is superposed on this soil. There was a young lady named rights to travel much faster than light.

00:36:35.430 - 00:36:43.010

She set out one day in a relative way and arrived on the preceding nine. Now it especially appeal to misconstrue

00:36:43.010 - 00:36:59.530

professor who was a mathematician. Will morning please him was love and eggs. The modulated by moonlight in Khartoum, strange leaking through a dusty roof

00:36:59.530 - 00:37:11.360

fulfills the veils beyond the Nile. To test the tigers with a smile. And income. Shotguns and Quebec as mad cow, frozen egg,

00:37:11.360 - 00:37:20.340

will not this world on such a site fit as tricking them shoes to Ties. He wakes to us,

00:37:20.340 - 00:37:32.900

familiar face, dimensional and names and place. All morning stairs that he did sense. Come down to students, foes and friends.

00:37:32.900 - 00:37:43.760

Thanks to Salman. All down creatures, they're feeling passion. Well, the egg revolts soon as the train revolted.

00:37:43.760 - 00:37:56.670

Riots of that in Spain falls is the sharedness of life. Return for racing with MS right? Sharpening.

00:37:56.740 - 00:38:10.250

And then this is called the reddish and the rows. The last for longer. Observed professor Mohammad strolling

00:38:10.250 - 00:38:19.790

ie the among the fetish disorder of his garden where radish and Rosco succulents and smile to see against

00:38:19.790 - 00:38:34.930

the light level day is angular, square jaw, clenching the pipe stem, tie, the bow, forgotten, sucking air. Regarding later deal attack caused by

00:38:34.930 - 00:38:45.380

incandescent shine or scribbles lie on his back and the sun, no symbol and size. And wonder.

00:38:45.380 - 00:38:57.430

Does he hope to shift some ancestral necessity to immutable to every shift and South unknowable a new.

00:38:57.430 - 00:39:06.950

You will not ask. In very fair learning, the professor knows only the red are all men here.

00:39:06.950 - 00:39:22.850

Bright is the root and the rows. So I'm going to read the last poem in the book jacket. So he did.

00:39:28.560 - 00:39:45.320

It's about a family graveyard. One ancestor after another is called Eyes goodness. Of course it has a personal association.

00:39:45.690 - 00:39:56.930

He lies trawlers invest and vetting and stateless Samuel or Gardner. Sure. That we're on and then

00:39:56.930 - 00:40:05.120

we arrived was half-lives. His own death. Gardeners, Mariah was death. Del Valle, right?

00:40:05.120 - 00:40:19.300

John. Under the Rose, she got her true love, his son. To sail down the water and drag, show.

00:40:19.300 - 00:40:32.170

The shift will die as Doha, keeping her fewer of those stains for the sailors sun. The VI had an eye for us to whether

00:40:32.170 - 00:40:45.110

the wind and the rain carving them all his hours. Then we arrive. Zen Gardner, his dog has Mariah t,

00:40:45.110 - 00:41:03.200

just call sailor and his wife, Jeremy. I might have Kusto life. My dad always see life Grandfather, but I don't know hand for us to trade.

00:41:03.200 - 00:41:16.730

I would rather write tales like a fool, since I do nothing. Well, the spell here, Scribner lies straighter than

00:41:16.730 - 00:41:31.130

any, shorter than men. A tea towel. Beautiful faces, beautiful exercise. You might see it has

00:41:31.130 - 00:41:42.630

the qualities that it has the duty of pathos to it is a good place, I think. For now, I'm going to,

00:41:43.000 - 00:41:57.180

for the few poems to run or to my own at the end as usual, this is a new book, come out cost. It's the magazine.

00:41:57.180 - 00:42:08.510

Poems are the, chosen by poetry was, which is now called Boston Marathon thought it was. It's a large foundations.

00:42:08.510 - 00:42:22.780

And it's a very pleasant sort of reward because you don't compete. I had the good fortune to wake us and see you in

00:42:22.780 - 00:42:30.660

the mail and announces that I had first prize is yes, I will present a very pleasant check if companies.

00:42:30.660 - 00:42:40.040

Now this is a poem which came out in Fremont. Review that first in our region sometimes Vajrayana named Richard well, but this collection of points,

00:42:40.040 - 00:42:53.990

all magazines in England and America. This is the poem I wrote, which is I stay with us in the dark, is Ross may such good luck.

00:42:54.000 - 00:43:06.080

These Kevin is called the bat. These chasms yields the vampire is upside down. Better the better the feel or town.

00:43:06.080 - 00:43:17.090

Then exploration such as this. These creatures have antithesis. With web done feathered wings will shrink away from our electrics wink,

00:43:17.090 - 00:43:28.660

let's say be dazzled to the doctor things through stellar types of lenses in reverse. Their muscle flies resists

00:43:28.660 - 00:43:40.600

a foray on the world of sleep. These are under dreams. Kapha, chief cells. The lot become half rodents.

00:43:40.600 - 00:43:54.040

In that wherein the downward mountain climbers down, seal all the foreign ragged, panic driven these nice wings,

00:43:54.040 - 00:44:04.580

paw to heaven and see us from our natural son. Of two 4-bit in trees. There's one untampered with

00:44:04.580 - 00:44:16.470

til now with wrong, with their and audibly high song. The best. Heads down from roots that are a bow.

00:44:18.430 - 00:44:30.560

Tie down. The mountain. Climbers go down the trees, roots, vows of the roots. This young poet Richard has done

00:44:30.560 - 00:44:44.070

some quite beautiful thing, sometimes, occasionally used to come to the fashions of the day and write what is to obviously not metaphysical phrases.

00:44:44.070 - 00:44:51.110

But that's probably merely thought it is development because he comes through quite often. Very beautiful form.

00:44:51.110 - 00:44:58.250

Indeed. I think this digging for China, if it isn't a great font, is at any rate a very charming ones.

00:44:58.250 - 00:45:14.750

This one. Originally they came out to show interest in poetry general and strange. Akin as 950 to this called Digging for

00:45:14.750 - 00:45:28.190

China's foreign arms down is China. Somebody said, dig deep enough. And you might see the sky as Claire's is the bottom of a well,

00:45:28.190 - 00:45:39.880

except it would be rare, a different sky. Then you could burrow down until you came to China. Oh, it's nothing like New Jersey.

00:45:39.880 - 00:45:51.380

This people, trees and houses and all that. But much much different. Nothing looks the same. I went and got the travel

00:45:51.380 - 00:46:01.240

out of the shed and threaded like a cool they are all at morning digging a hole the side, the lilac bush, down on my hands and knees.

00:46:01.240 - 00:46:12.770

It was a sort of praying, I suspect. I watched line hand dig deep and Dhaka. And I tried, and tried to dream a place

00:46:12.770 - 00:46:22.360

where nothing was the same. The channel never did breakthrough to blue. Before the dream. Good, wary of itself.

00:46:22.360 - 00:46:34.300

My eyes with tired of looking into darkness. My son base case of hanging down and how I stood up in a place I had forgotten thinking and staggering.

00:46:34.300 - 00:46:45.650

Finally went round and showed me the fields dosing and pause the brightness patterns growing and gone and the tide of

00:46:45.650 - 00:46:55.900

leaves and the whole sky, China blue until I got my balance back again. All and I saw was China. China.

00:46:55.900 - 00:47:07.960

China. I think that's a very good fully. I've just look through this book, I've read thoroughly.

00:47:07.960 - 00:47:19.780

Yes, I saw these two. This is by the poet named Kate best. And she's new to me. This poem came out and said,

00:47:19.780 - 00:47:28.800

originally, that effect is just came this morning. And I thought you might like to have a cursory glance into it,

00:47:28.800 - 00:47:41.540

is called God and wedding. The bridesmaids WO, either on the day were decorous name, fearing for the deal on

00:47:41.540 - 00:47:52.530

the white linen shoes that gets stood in circles on the lungs with tails, champagne foaming in their hands.

00:47:52.530 - 00:48:03.880

And all the shivering, godless rang like veils. But the bride move swiftly. Switzerland guys have pleated gown

00:48:03.880 - 00:48:14.330

was a southern Shan. The layers shoes with dark with you and hands OF with wine. Oh, where's the, where's guilty then

00:48:14.330 - 00:48:33.610

the life beautiful thing. Looking over this book, I seem to see a slight, slightly more cheerful mood, unthoughtful it.

00:48:33.610 - 00:48:41.210

And there's a good deal of excellent craftsmanship. And these partners have been chosen both from England and America.

00:48:41.210 - 00:48:59.600

That fills in the unfolding. Now conclude with some Catholics and nine from a current Atlantic called

00:48:59.600 - 00:49:12.350

in my library late afternoon. In the dim library, my younger self, sooth, possessive hands from shelves,

00:49:12.350 - 00:49:23.210

two shells hovering familiar volumes. He can quote them more eloquently than the man who wrote. Because he had the private overtones

00:49:23.210 - 00:49:32.390

from all the associations Visa. They fall on epigram by Francis Collins, goes through the winter, sun sets on

00:49:32.390 - 00:49:45.000

the child's fail rain and found phrase, shimmer to Jane Austin through trauma blows the Southeast winds of when the Boston and given its width,

00:49:45.000 - 00:49:56.930

sharp and all too well, as urine at Versailles, declined and sell. The notion that books can be bewitched by aspects civilized.

00:49:56.930 - 00:50:05.780
