00:00:13.100 - 00:00:26.120

I've made up dilatory program feeling the third time I've done that. Then I found that really good news. And I chose a little

00:00:26.120 - 00:00:33.910

according to the weather, the weather free reference there. Now I've put in a few thing at the last minute.

00:00:33.910 - 00:00:44.290

And so it's a mixture of things, you know, and things that are new. Things that go with the rainy day and things that go with the fairing evening.

00:00:44.290 - 00:00:55.790

And is in general a complete miscellany and it's thought, and I think I'll read something first. With which most of you are familiar

00:00:55.790 - 00:01:06.720

because I've read it at these readings before. Is Dan. Dan, hey, since the spring poem,

00:01:07.960 - 00:01:17.210

the flower girl scene comes up from the river up through the fields of the street is a village. Bringing her basket.

00:01:17.210 - 00:01:25.210

Heat High was a village of Riverside. Violet Let a and rush the rays of the morning, thicker and equivalent,

00:01:25.210 - 00:01:38.510

warm on her arms and her listening phase. And twinkle on anxious the jangle together with vowels and melodious Django, as gay as a robin and fairs the Thrash.

00:01:38.510 - 00:01:49.880

The wind is a wafers fingering ribbons and lays the slugger in tat has bright like a paradise feather. The wind is a wafers. The river.

00:01:49.880 - 00:01:59.990

So LA, with songs of the sunrise, the mango was thinking of beds and the willow than head by has lifted his KLA head from

00:01:59.990 - 00:02:12.240

the fellow grads that has singing and knock and vows to mockingly makes it grow maize and labs to the laughter that ripples have face till it hillside is ringing.

00:02:12.240 - 00:02:21.950

When wind all night through the Emperor's gardens, you gather that we're a delight as the wise and the width a perfume

00:02:21.950 - 00:02:32.870

it fail out of ends at go wind all night through the SETT a, you've gathered the wood, that net is the whisper,

00:02:32.870 - 00:02:42.230

the hardens the HA and allow the model scatter the car value gathered and blow through the hair, the flower girl singing

00:02:42.230 - 00:02:49.470

it down through the street, scatter the COG or you've gathered and there the laughter that rings from the hill.

00:02:49.470 - 00:03:05.790

I have opened my window for other, they spill all the sprint my feet. Second name. I'm going to read a poem which is rather

00:03:05.790 - 00:03:19.660

appropriate to the weather and was also appropriate to the situation of this country at the time it was written is

00:03:19.660 - 00:03:31.090

find the lungs to the early 1930s. And it was a period of great doubt and great distress when Americans were very serious,

00:03:31.090 - 00:03:42.190

they questioning various fundamentals of the system, even if it's just after the great fat and the rest of

00:03:42.190 - 00:03:53.750

the world was obvious at the time. And to add to all that, there was this long, long winter, even longer than this one leads them through.

00:03:53.750 - 00:04:03.160

And the til combine, suggested to me, that's fine. Hello, The long retarded spring. It originally came out in

00:04:03.160 - 00:04:15.860

the Atlantic as most of these LFO EMS did. The spring has come at last. At last the spring has come. Oh, give me grace.

00:04:15.860 - 00:04:28.990

Designing leaves to this, the butt of time. And cast myself your shadows on sidewalks of the town shyly and

00:04:28.990 - 00:04:39.190

unbeknownst to shed cool haven. Too many. Wary unto death. Let joy that streams along my veins

00:04:39.190 - 00:04:52.640

as SAP and yours communicate with the self. Windy music, joy to my race. That never should be sad or angry. Now the rubbing on the lawn,

00:04:52.640 - 00:05:01.060

things is good night song. And the fittings springs makes little rainbows. Like a little rain.

00:05:01.060 - 00:05:08.190

And stealing and my hot nice doll and a pleasure. I say, what right? Have you to leave.

00:05:08.190 - 00:05:18.350

When many countrymen stand winter killed and leaflets. The Gardner says. That was a brutal winter.

00:05:18.350 - 00:05:29.390

The fear that hedge is gone. The climbing roses and nearly all the shrubs. Lehman's cut that back to the roots. O cut them back.

00:05:29.390 - 00:05:40.520

That said the root soft sound. It may take several years. Holy America. Your topmost bows out leaflets

00:05:40.520 - 00:05:51.110

because greedy Frost has killed them. Your roots sound. Only this Choi leaves that Dad. Let us cut back to the sound roots.

00:05:51.110 - 00:06:02.600

The spring has come, a long retarded spring, tears, philos planting. And I then weeds and weevils also suffered.

00:06:02.600 - 00:06:11.600

Let us not be angry. For the spring in law says Come o give us grace, designing leaves of this,

00:06:11.600 - 00:06:35.830

the butt of time into the future rose. I'm now going to turn that to some very old forums. This 10 is requested.

00:06:35.830 - 00:06:47.830

It's called a spinning song. And it's about this girl food, lava fields related laws. And she thinks she's gone forever.

00:06:47.830 - 00:06:59.720

And she becomes cell involved with have V, that she spins it into a design, into a design. The lava comes back,

00:06:59.720 - 00:07:11.380

that she is so involved and have agreed that she doesn't hear him not she realized comes to her attending love.

00:07:11.380 - 00:07:27.340

And the sound of the coin is supposed to suggest the revolving of the spinning wheel. A rhythm is supposed to go round and round. Never think of they never remember.

00:07:27.340 - 00:07:37.850

She was singing and had chamber high in Niantic under the 0s. Where does the Windows screen two leaves. Never think you may never remember.

00:07:37.850 - 00:07:49.340

She was singing and her chamber. She did not hear the non-fat plain or the voice below that also saying, we'll vote on the flat,

00:07:49.340 - 00:07:59.180

spun out a cobweb strand as thin as doubt. The green leaves tapped if the window pane and someone not enough to gain.

00:07:59.180 - 00:08:09.990

She did not hear the naphtha thing. All the voice below. That also saying Not many years. And the hot still young,

00:08:09.990 - 00:08:21.980

weaves new words for the willing time. Not many years have passed. And the hot still young is lead 2 lead. That's lend us strand,

00:08:21.980 - 00:08:34.640

a flaxen hair, strand of song, as thin as the feel-good on and grain by grain, the greatest film, the window pane.

00:08:34.640 - 00:08:42.290

She did not hear him when enough for the leaves are thick and the windows love. She did not hear.

00:08:42.290 - 00:08:56.020

Now things like music fed through, does the job. Not many years. But dust will stifle or hot at last.

00:08:56.020 - 00:09:04.840

High in the attic under the eaves, the dusty Windows screen do these. Never think of me. Never remember.

00:09:04.840 - 00:09:18.420

She was seeing and had chamber CC made rather than mafia herself fails self-pity. So with love couldn't come in.

00:09:22.810 - 00:09:35.930

Are these old phones interested in the video? The reason that I was inspired to bring these poems up is because it's a request for that one.

00:09:35.930 - 00:09:42.920

And there were several others in that mood. For example, is next to, and I'm going to read called. And when the prince came,

00:09:42.920 - 00:09:52.580

this is a variation on the Sleeping Beauty theme. Defense came and found the Finn says, but he decided not to wake

00:09:52.580 - 00:10:03.770

him because she beautiful asleep. And he felt that if he woke her, she'd have to go out into the world and become 0

00:10:03.770 - 00:10:18.400

with the rest of the race. And this poem is called, and when an offense cain, may the cancel lion slumber

00:10:18.400 - 00:10:29.750

for another 1000 years. Belgium, fallen die has spindle. Center is full length. By this bears sleeping hands,

00:10:29.750 - 00:10:41.870

no title cell combat, sleeping hot snow, love self handle. Sleeping eyes, avoid pairs. May the blue flame in the hallways.

00:10:41.870 - 00:10:55.040

Then I, Kafirs by the day, may know Clarion of view day, Rouse ill king from his bed. And the Princess, May she always lie and T,

00:10:55.040 - 00:11:05.390

for sleeping viewed a blossoms on a to be shed. In my vision. I had down to my fate a Moho of

00:11:05.390 - 00:11:16.710

like wake infamously the motto by the edge in case of lie. But I left there as I've found. And above the Southern thought, Whoa,

00:11:16.710 - 00:11:29.240

this, I lettered with my knee. Loves there are that feast in giving slumber still. My love was such bonds

00:11:29.240 - 00:11:41.410

that strengthen as they sever, lifts that for us and will not touch sleek beloved. Say, from living, sleep,

00:11:41.410 - 00:12:04.790

beloved, safe forever, from the ones who love too much. Now I'm going to read you a very, yeah, pull em.

00:12:04.790 - 00:12:17.570

And then we will come up again and draw cheerful moods. This poem was written some years ago too, and it was a member of

00:12:17.570 - 00:12:27.200

the First World War and also a feeling of the First World War and solve anything at all. That was just that realization

00:12:27.200 - 00:12:35.280

was just coming upon us. And it has to do with driving an ambulance at the front in the First World War.

00:12:35.280 - 00:12:45.240

A memory of that and a comparison of that situation with the condition of the world. It's called Dead Man's corner.

00:12:45.610 - 00:12:54.890

Here is the crossroads where the slain will file, so D3 could not pass. Now dreams alone, renew the stay

00:12:54.890 - 00:13:08.720

in the blood long selfed into the grass. If ambulance to say the name of gun wagon, to name the sound, Both must proceed. While rightly name, the

00:13:08.720 - 00:13:19.280

more darkens all the ground. As long ago, wheels took the groove unnecessary roads again, crunching the bones that could

00:13:19.280 - 00:13:30.410

not move to move the limbs of living men with cracked invasion lips, the taste commands like acid that evade. We still would lead a nightmare.

00:13:30.410 - 00:13:40.220

Hayes, phon, they are shadows through the shade. Why is the most forgotten fair? That fee will not be out of mind.

00:13:40.220 - 00:14:02.230

We drive our ambulances, God help us, and the road is blind. Now we'll read about some people. This isn't there. They fall into

00:14:02.230 - 00:14:09.340

its costs in Sylvius. And it is based on an old manuscript that I was reading about a month.

00:14:09.340 - 00:14:21.900

Who had a dreadful time and superiors all that without a 1500 in the fifth grade, she was very fat, narrowest, got wedged in the Dawes.

00:14:21.900 - 00:14:28.570

And then the second phase, he was very fond of nature and he'd go rambling in the field when you should have

00:14:28.570 - 00:14:38.750

been saying his prayers in the monastery. And as I say, he was always in hot water with his superiors.

00:14:38.750 - 00:14:53.050

But he was a very saintly man and B, I didn't know it. And this form is filled with ever he loved

00:14:53.050 - 00:15:01.760

the word and feel the water rushing through the wear. And so he dropped his knife, a shield and sung away his spare.

00:15:01.760 - 00:15:10.400

He 10 from battle and from class, from heaven may Grail. And it's the feast became the Woodlands. Welcome.

00:15:10.400 - 00:15:22.540

Guess. The friend of every BCE and open what he said in fish with vague but not a single hook. No trout Lay ever on his page.

00:15:22.540 - 00:15:34.070

They fashioned in the book. And open woody chase the deer that Seeing none thumbnail 528, browsing without fair,

00:15:34.070 - 00:15:45.800

beside his own jaw sale. He even love the wicked snake. Explaining lame me, that the Devil should be well nourished for the sake

00:15:45.800 - 00:15:58.970

of him who conquers evil. Happy, he layered with there and v, well known and well the Laozi, both to fears alone for his breath,

00:15:58.970 - 00:16:14.180

death and the sin of slow. And still, I mean, never failed to wins. Thought of death or MOHO pain, not knowing that he died long since.

00:16:14.180 - 00:16:30.980

All that He is the same. I think we're at Rahway Romney. Subjective people. I ought to read one that I've

00:16:30.980 - 00:16:54.910

read here up in the for that which is a favorite reminisce 2009, childhood problem is found on land. Foo now remember as mishandle, food,

00:16:54.910 - 00:17:06.340

the piano teacher who love to bang Beethoven loud, I'm listening. When Windows will often everywhere. In the hot suburban afternoon,

00:17:06.340 - 00:17:17.130

both leaves in the FIFO hung in a SWOT lymph from the tree. All live in the swaying, except for Ms. Helen line for thing.

00:17:17.130 - 00:17:32.280

A piano keys of the keys to hell. And my mother said, she plays very well. And Sadat LR, to be perverse. At Marion's laws, it was like a fifth.

00:17:32.280 - 00:17:40.530

My abs are dead. And so as my mother, I suppose that I and my sister and brother alone,

00:17:40.530 - 00:18:00.620

remember Miss Helen line? Love Beethoven, Van. I'm now coming to another crest number for very old poem.

00:18:00.620 - 00:18:17.210

This is the first long poem I ever wrote. And it was published that 30, 35 years ago. And I was very interested in having a request for it because I

00:18:17.210 - 00:18:30.380

myself haven't read it for some time. And I went out and found sections that I would like to Ray. And I think perhaps the end of

00:18:30.380 - 00:18:42.230

the last section is one that might read aloud. The subject of the poem really is the struggle between evil and

00:18:42.230 - 00:18:54.270

good are the creative and destructive forces in the universe is always natural for young poets take very large subject and that is the subject to this poem.

00:18:54.820 - 00:19:11.420

And I'm going to read the second part of the last Canto. Well, I think I might as well read that whole last scattered isn't very long.

00:19:11.420 - 00:19:21.010

The one Vega giver of all life touches the world with beauty is glowing stone. The naked form of thing struggles through

00:19:21.010 - 00:19:30.400

the night and through contending silent strikes the word, the end and the beginning. R is one ring of light and circles,

00:19:30.400 - 00:19:42.220

the abyss of dof in one unbroken. Amid the circle lies the stone growing the flashing ring inlet across the intervening the columns of the universe as

00:19:42.220 - 00:19:54.280

the challenges flung out and actually the resin you've touched para, presses on striding across the gulf from Sun, the Sun kindling the stars in space,

00:19:54.280 - 00:20:04.040

kindling the spring in the reluctance knows is the desert place. Moving the tides across the drowsy see, drawing the spirit taught

00:20:04.040 - 00:20:17.000

one face as a shift to the fourth Vashti with the flowering and the file after the spring in harvest time and child bearing, planting the seeds, the stars

00:20:17.000 - 00:20:24.200

if trees of men, selling the wounds of space, if soil of flesh, beauty may live again.

00:20:24.200 - 00:20:35.090

And after winter summarize a fresh finding the seeds of color and the song in the deep caverns of the August's man to

00:20:35.090 - 00:20:46.370

whom the secrets of the gods belong, the sterile and the false self then away beneath the Stones Hot re, gold infection cells.

00:20:46.370 - 00:20:58.280

So V, read consecrate to DNA, to live and to create wisely, if you love, wisely to. Hey, these are the syllables,

00:20:58.280 - 00:21:05.780

the thorax sayings. These are the letters on the skies, lives grow. The answer is shrouded by

00:21:05.780 - 00:21:17.930

numeral springs to all the Winfrey questions of the cell. The children of oblivion of Lydian Show fame. When viewed a last beneath the son watched

00:21:17.930 - 00:21:27.410

inflame the thiol not beauty you that would not womb. Life struggles from the void. The eyes of the mind on

00:21:27.410 - 00:21:37.830

tune so fast again into the vacant. They who destroy it should be in 10 destroyed. Now feel the alchemists transmuting spot.

00:21:37.830 - 00:21:48.260

The gaming shaft of sunlight strikes the crags. Swift arrows from the radiant chairs bot. Across the ocean like

00:21:48.260 - 00:21:59.270

defeated flag drawn into shreds the winter Hayes is blow from hills incalculably. I hear a grinding avalanche of melting

00:21:59.270 - 00:22:12.020

snow leaving NAPLAN meadows and fair, where they blades and slender fingers growth upward to feel the spa thing atmosphere.

00:22:12.020 - 00:22:23.740

The trees, that thing to the precarious slow. The stunted trees that lie along the ground reveal the sky, confessions of death, and swell with leaves.

00:22:23.740 - 00:22:35.940

The half forgotten sound of falling water thickens the still air within the cities and for fishes, rounded tile and food and 30 face despair.

00:22:35.940 - 00:22:46.540

A subtle smile, feets down the street. Insistent green arises from the scan soil thoughts. And the kein wind is sweet.

00:22:46.540 - 00:22:54.770

Beside the day less seagulls, flax, and glands. Some music seems to follow a aching feet to play again.

00:22:54.770 - 00:23:05.420

And bright uncouth romance signs out of Hungry Eyes. As new design suggests, new jaws. The same that couldn't France,

00:23:05.420 - 00:23:14.900

Pharos of Egypt, Galle slays the beggars and kings and fix the same. That gives the ancient mountain

00:23:14.900 - 00:23:24.080

into gusts of fire. That rides into the maze. The forest leaves that Kindles all things man has thought I'd done.

00:23:24.080 - 00:23:34.150

That scatters into states to SIL the achieves of stars that still Soufan oblivion and feel that the no void,

00:23:34.150 - 00:24:08.800

only the infinite sum. Now, I'm going to read about to literary figure saying that we have many young

00:24:08.800 - 00:24:19.450

new cameras and the audience. I'm going to read 1 first, which others who've attended these ratings are very

00:24:19.450 - 00:24:36.850

familiar with the law and Geoffrey Chaucer. And then I'll read the one on Samuel Johnson for Mr. Geoffrey Chaucer about there was,

00:24:36.850 - 00:24:48.220

and that a worthy why food from the time that he began to write, sieve God and view day within a humble man. And most of all,

00:24:48.220 - 00:24:57.370

he knew and loved mankind. Laughing he was. And quick, many Aj's. The Lord loves men.

00:24:57.370 - 00:25:06.470

The devil take the ref, a simple grey, say a wine before dinner. A reading hand outstretched to saint and sinner,

00:25:06.470 - 00:25:18.350

a prayer times, not length. Favorite, devout. This was off poets faith. Without a doubt. Travel he loves and wonders, had to tell a Ryle,

00:25:18.350 - 00:25:27.180

France and Italy as well. And everywhere he went his 38 percent of down the secrets of his fellow men,

00:25:27.180 - 00:25:38.480

their faces and their stories, high and low. For law, they feed truck and Boccaccio under the meanest villain. Proof it holds a tab,

00:25:38.480 - 00:25:47.330

an audience with the tale he tell. But with a scribbling, he never sits were from duty to King Edward, whom he says.

00:25:47.330 - 00:25:58.630

Though he roamed both France and Italy, England, where that rule was where he always longed to be. He returned with magic spoils that

00:25:58.630 - 00:26:09.950

England might have pleasure of his tiles. And here is braves of our store is sung by English pilgrims. In the English tongue.

00:26:09.950 - 00:26:22.600

Noble, his spirit was and gave his huh, a jug of wine, a master of his. He loved all men know as exchanges show it.

00:26:22.600 - 00:26:42.360

Feel is a very pocket gentle, gentle Enlai and pathogen is run, godsend and stretch another. In our time. Now Dr. Samuel Johnson.

00:26:58.030 - 00:27:12.830

Dr. Samuel Johnson, he's writing to his bulk is I'm gain may his posture, his wig is arrive and it is breathing a Shaw does,

00:27:12.830 - 00:27:24.180

the doctor would died or fall leading the spot. Dr. Johnson at six day is voyaging fall on a small leaky that cell

00:27:24.180 - 00:27:33.230

to visit the null and the thumb. Heavier days. When the youngsters grow pale at the playing of the seas.

00:27:33.230 - 00:27:48.050

He advises moth CEO. Dr. Johnson's a bullae Southeast, a clown. He is make with the boobies and raus. The lies down is

00:27:48.050 - 00:28:04.100

also the ray this the most honest man. When grade is the best devout plan, Dr. Samuel Johnson would take radio fence that I speak of him present.

00:28:04.100 - 00:28:18.660

So long vanished. Hence, by niceness and passion is move, like his tenants was found as a faction. Strict common sense.

00:28:26.980 - 00:28:44.920

Well, I'm going to redefine now that I read the first time that I gave a reading, University of Delaware.

00:28:44.920 - 00:28:52.580

Know when you arrange a reading, especially very formal. That was and Mitchell Hall, very careful balance.

00:28:52.580 - 00:29:02.630

They live in the shade. This is distinctly on the light side. It's based on numerous Greek legends that when

00:29:02.630 - 00:29:19.520

a young lady is chased than enforcement lava, especially if that love is one of the gods. Some God is taking pity on her tensor into a plan.

00:29:19.520 - 00:29:34.440

And this poem called an interruption is based on that high. They're only, has a thorough and modern realistic setting.

00:29:35.110 - 00:29:49.530

I went to the door and then stood Zeus. While thumb a nation sharing his brow. He wrought in, come on now it's no use. I saw you, you, that girl,

00:29:49.530 - 00:30:01.790

come on out now. Zeus, who do you think you got though? He was I took my stand. He blasted. She came here.

00:30:01.790 - 00:30:12.410

She can't be thaw. Your phase a, get out. I lifted my hand. But will there be strength beneath my gaze?

00:30:12.410 - 00:30:27.580

A flagrant Olympian gaffer call chasing a virgin is in the old days, but it's now as a vent out thought. He mumbled, he turned and made his escape.

00:30:27.580 - 00:30:38.370

Then lifting my death may plan from the flaw. I was fed. He's gone. The leaves to shape. And the little Greek girl

00:30:38.370 - 00:31:01.780

stepped down once more. To our RNA. Lighten the mood. And I'll redo for him. Just reminiscing and puffery.

00:31:02.250 - 00:31:19.390

Do with the pheasant humor. That is a winter and they confess, when you long for the city. And then this piston is wishing he was

00:31:19.390 - 00:31:33.260

back in the old days when he was young. Instead of vein, in the middle of a snow bound wintry countryside. It's called underneath ray when guys,

00:31:33.260 - 00:31:45.460

he has that uneasy feeling. It is getting cut off from life. Against del sunset, Bailey growing della. As winter freezes, the last hint of color.

00:31:45.460 - 00:31:56.420

Black branch is interlaced and stiff despair as though they'd never known a kind there. And I, in wool like any shape and cased,

00:31:56.420 - 00:32:08.300

regard the wintry landscape with this tes, reluctant, rusty, pastoral renegade IN for ostentation and for

00:32:08.300 - 00:32:22.190

a vast card as saw cockpits. They allies, have sleek submissive and matrons in disguise. Vein, silicon creatures are more like Ray,

00:32:22.190 - 00:32:33.350

Ray on and other fall as satire loves to play on. Oh, dolmen, twill for me, revolving doors. Back to the people.

00:32:33.350 - 00:32:43.180

I want Shonda, his boss, in some discrete palm, God and let me sit with Mrs. Doubt a flame and void of wit.

00:32:43.180 - 00:32:57.290

She whom in some US pride I left to swell her grows in my memory as a time they Shanghai or in the BAA make kind of bland except my lame excuse,

00:32:57.290 - 00:33:07.640

the friendship of a sled. And blessedly, I'm blessed with brains, our ranker. Forget that I'm a BOD and he's Ivanka.

00:33:07.640 - 00:33:25.260

I own nothing humans, alien to me. F2, f3 is alone beneath the frozen tree. Long, long ago when the old walled off stood at fifth 34th straight as it should.

00:33:25.260 - 00:33:37.370

I was evolved imagine a child who like my winters, Bronco and y, to city, ignorance of wind has malice.

00:33:37.370 - 00:33:52.010

Shop windows seen the Aurora Borealis, the hissing snow, a summons to my eye. So the walled off a snug igloo near the pole. Could I with equal ease and

00:33:52.010 - 00:34:04.060

more acumen that change this blast? Did he do something human nature is indestructible, alas. It is the cities that too quickly

00:34:04.060 - 00:34:21.720

pass that for long time. Now we'll have to change the season again quickly this season. Another request number called the snake.

00:34:23.140 - 00:34:36.890

This snake actually lived under the dose down in my house in Connecticut, in the country. He was well-known to all except random guess.

00:34:36.890 - 00:34:43.670

So a very afraid of him. There's an enormous black slavery Calling grandpa is about five feet long and we use

00:34:43.670 - 00:34:55.380

set-builder milk out for him and Paris. And he was very convenient. Cafe feels free of rodents. But I got to thinking about him.

00:34:59.560 - 00:35:08.510

And this is really about that particular snake bit about snakes and gentlemen. And they come to life in the spring.

00:35:08.510 - 00:35:18.760

As I walk by the lake on a morning in March, a bloated black snakes fraud under the law. He was drunk with sunshine and flex it from winter.

00:35:18.760 - 00:35:29.650

Snake has a span and this finds its splinter. I tend to go after my ax and the wood, but with serpentine laughter he called and I stood.

00:35:29.650 - 00:35:41.470

I have never been known as the timbre as man, but I was alone and the black snake began. Old father of lies. Here, Master of evil.

00:35:41.470 - 00:35:51.950

I saw was the prior. Me for the devil. Bls above lot please attempt with the vest that hell can

00:35:51.950 - 00:36:02.220

afford that bloodthirsty pest who lives on the hill overlooking the lake and rejoices to kill, live for certain.

00:36:02.220 - 00:36:14.180

The snake give him women and money and falses and wine. So he won't think it's funny to splint him. I find, I should have

00:36:14.180 - 00:36:21.620

known then when he quoted my thought is that wisdom. And then for the CIF and says not fool would not

00:36:21.620 - 00:36:29.750

be flattered to v So addressed. Not that it mattered, but still, love is best. And spring was on calling

00:36:29.750 - 00:36:37.760

her length fact the snakes. And who would be spoiling a piece of blue lakes. Now 20 damnation sounds.

00:36:37.760 - 00:36:48.360

Snakes and neck can fry no matter cavitation will never again. The snake thinks it's funny. He's men and one for the days were so sunny.

00:36:48.360 - 00:37:07.850

And making is done that if women and men, and why have I done I think that Tim, because a good many of

00:37:07.850 - 00:37:18.580

these middle poems were written in that time of unrest and hesitation on they all felt the crowds is the second war over time.

00:37:18.580 - 00:37:28.070

Most in this audience can't remember. But we all knew that something was going to happen. We all knew that we couldn't that they did.

00:37:28.070 - 00:37:38.340

And it was a very definite moved over the will. And perhaps it's interesting to recall, even though it was very sinister.

00:37:41.410 - 00:37:51.560

And one of those poems that I I think is one of the best from that period is called the k. And

00:37:51.560 - 00:38:04.280

the meaning here is that we play with ideas of danger and death. And so fortunately, some of them fall off the bravado thinking they can't happen.

00:38:04.280 - 00:38:18.030

And then suddenly they do happen. As that's the meaning of this rather symbolic call the K. Most of these poems, curious, Anna, came out and name your yoga.

00:38:19.660 - 00:38:31.600

They told us dragons were a myth. Like just say, OK at a all thought among the SWOT they Smith, mmm, magic names to conjure

00:38:31.600 - 00:38:46.750

with the k. This empty children. See the opening his elbow ground. It's just a fissure in the stone. So all day long outside the layer,

00:38:46.750 - 00:38:59.560

we theta games and lethal life. Pretended visit Dragon there and challenge him. But do you dare? Why not? You ceiling.

00:38:59.560 - 00:39:13.190

But in my o's afraid, come for thiophene. No indictments. I have a screen. We thoughtfully what did we hear?

00:39:13.190 - 00:39:25.700

A rumble through the summer day. Stop Still we weigh white with fear, knowing the monster would appear. Then suddenly we ran away.

00:39:25.700 - 00:39:48.920

All that was years and years ago outside a cave where green vines grow. Strange, brings back to me at any rate. The mood of

00:39:48.920 - 00:40:07.750

those days. Read them. Now. Another form which is familiar to those

00:40:07.750 - 00:40:20.770

who are the other readings, general any. And this is the true history. General Galilean in the First World War did indeed 10

00:40:20.770 - 00:40:31.330

aside the Germans at the first battle of the mind and saved Paris by bringing out into the battlefield all the troops who were supposed to stay in Paris.

00:40:31.330 - 00:40:40.340

To God, he knew the only way to save the day. Let's take them out of Paris. The only way to get them to the battlefield was to pack them into taxes,

00:40:40.340 - 00:40:52.790

which he did in Paris, Texas. But then even more than now, very precarious vehicles. Who now remember general galley ANA,

00:40:52.790 - 00:41:04.740

Who's Paris taxi cabs, one lungs and they CA charge to them on just as the cause as Danae and VD, we're about to turn to Vk.

00:41:04.740 - 00:41:16.250

Like heads of superannuation cattle. The lame asthmatic vehicles stampeded that firing honking cavalry to battle with

00:41:16.250 - 00:41:26.930

reinforcements just when they were needed. Paris with say, the politicians boldly written from flight that the none to partial

00:41:26.930 - 00:41:38.810

to galleries methods thanked him cold and he was five years dead when named Marshall. The vagueness sided worry I get to column in

00:41:38.810 - 00:41:49.060

the Britannica as one well fitted to be a muscle. The tone is solemn. His crowning fee is gone full and neglected.

00:41:49.060 - 00:41:56.250

Job because remember, we're delay and thoughts. The fame of theta, this is in its embers.

00:41:56.250 - 00:42:08.630

That Galle and a phonon plus the buffs with his embattled taxes. None remembers, except where Roland, in the paranasal,

00:42:08.630 - 00:42:34.350

blowing his evening echoed know, follow-on, smiles, reassured to hear upon the phrase. The answering hung, a gallon is home. I'm going to read now.

00:42:35.440 - 00:42:47.710

One Canto in the desert kept an email. I read the whole poem here without closing meeting last year. I'm going to redo that one Canto

00:42:47.710 - 00:43:03.470

about the fallacious theory of violent revolution. The first thought of this that I'm reading has to do with

00:43:03.470 - 00:43:14.820

the assassination Alexander second div Russia. Alexander second is an enlightened monarchs and feed the SIFS.

00:43:14.820 - 00:43:22.940

And if he had not been assassinated, probably the Russian monarchy would have become liberal. And we should not have

00:43:22.940 - 00:43:34.190

gone through, has scenes, Harrah's which we have seen the process and hysterical if that he was blown up by an anarchist.

00:43:34.190 - 00:43:51.160

And then I take that as a sort of symbol of the futility and really wickedness of all violent revolution. Then I take that the fact that

00:43:51.160 - 00:44:04.630

Americans do not officiate their own country, they go abroad and bootleg foreigners. That some of them ten communist Annette thinking,

00:44:04.630 - 00:44:28.580

some of them ten Snopes. And they do not appreciate their own country. Then that's brought down to a few examples. And then need philosophy opens a bit.

00:44:28.580 - 00:44:38.580

Now in this canto as right through the poem to sailors that talking and they have an old diary of this Captain Nemo.

00:44:39.970 - 00:44:51.910

And they're reading the diary noun, this is from the dad. This is about the assassination of Alexander, the second sort of prophecy

00:44:51.910 - 00:45:00.260

of the destruction of Russia by the Bolsheviks. Through curiosity as evening flowed between the misted lights

00:45:00.260 - 00:45:08.220

of the shop windows, I followed a small man, fat all in black, 30 of lay down an ally

00:45:08.220 - 00:45:18.620

where he wheeled and back in May. And so we both descended to a basement room there, but for one Scott table and one oil lamp,

00:45:18.620 - 00:45:28.250

which is he tended higher, showed his little mouth, nose, and slanted eyes. You are late. He said,

00:45:28.250 - 00:45:37.830

tsar Alexander has gone. But whereas Anna K. Overruled as usual, just as we feared, the Tsar is dead long live.

00:45:37.830 - 00:45:50.700

Yet look. And he unfolded an old map. Look here. And here, across five continents. His finger decreased,

00:45:50.700 - 00:46:02.780

knuckles and black nail moves steadily. It seemed that way he pointed the names of cities disappeared, the boundaries melted together in

00:46:02.780 - 00:46:13.780

a yellow smear, spread overall. Can you see the outcome and the patient as the mole? It blindly borrows down this tunnel,

00:46:13.780 - 00:46:23.750

knowing that instinct, when the roof is undermined. My friend. But Hawaii. Hawaii, you want not the one I expected.

00:46:23.750 - 00:46:35.310

I have the trade my servants. Quick, my gaze pursued him, gone. I've said aloud, and as the lamp blew out, I was aware the window had no pains.

00:46:35.310 - 00:46:47.110

My wanting is your warning that the diaries dumps and this is one of the unsalted speaking and will request in death,

00:46:47.110 - 00:46:57.050

we hear time ticking. Four, we are from another generation. America, the country no one loves. Whose people level all countries with

00:46:57.050 - 00:47:07.760

their own disguising while a grass. See how tire as regret that they are not twinkling on appears in English bottom at an English

00:47:07.760 - 00:47:21.510

caught how women stood beneath him. Fortunate love us, yearning for France. How poets flee abroad to cry if Dean, among the ostrich plumes and feed on boots.

00:47:21.510 - 00:47:31.500

How mystic arete as scream accusation from the slums, descending the lights if paradise, that Gil the Kremlin.

00:47:31.500 - 00:47:41.510

While overall America, fair fields plowed in theory like the hapless women. And then I'm blown away to hang in deaths.

00:47:41.510 - 00:47:53.420

A phantom map of thumbs no man would love down to the roots and thorough, hacked and rocking. Saw dust mountains where

00:47:53.420 - 00:48:07.910

the poison streams seek absolution. From then different C, It must be no-one means to live there longer than parasites upon a dying host.

00:48:07.910 - 00:48:19.460

Holy America who dream so well, folding her east and west and hand in the slow, fast for peace. Oh it is time for all have

00:48:19.460 - 00:48:29.720

poets to come home again to claim her dreams from the retreating stars. Yeah, let's say, let's say.

00:48:29.720 - 00:48:39.530

From here, America and Europe, both our dreams and this volcanic, I'll still shaking with the, and we are dreamers who are

00:48:39.530 - 00:48:50.420

found here the epitome of a lost civilization in this old French dire and a philosopher whose own volcanoes being long extinct.

00:48:50.420 - 00:49:01.130

Serine and snow-capped meditation. Rise above the kneeling see. Be careful there only old man and nation should

00:49:01.130 - 00:49:12.950

embrace the way of quiet Buddha and load. It looks walk strange the streets beneath his hand. The sky as loud Still I hear

00:49:12.950 - 00:49:28.030

the pounding out every pulse of the world. No pulse, a ticking clock. What time is it? Here or at home? There are no seasons here.

00:49:28.030 - 00:49:37.400

At home with his late autumn, autumn sunrise filtered through Hayes and fire a colored leaves. And on the sea it dazzles where

00:49:37.400 - 00:49:48.320

the door is luma, half visible. And voices carry over the time and giggle of green shells. Among the ebbing flags.

00:49:48.320 - 00:50:00.660

Those are the symbols of homesickness. And if we drank a bottle, we assume could we, but truly every day we saw them without saved and the dad must suffer.

00:50:00.660 - 00:50:11.660

Thinking how they took for granted the small things never to be found again, not fully tenanted. Do they remember? Do distance,

00:50:11.660 - 00:50:25.460

read notes from our fields to sue them with music of her breath. For long days, wasted and loyal loves. I flip these milieu pages and find,

00:50:25.460 - 00:50:37.160

yeah, pneumonia, the same despair. Then he quotes the data is at rest again, the quotations from the diarrhea. It's about Captain Nemo's

00:50:37.160 - 00:50:45.050

love and his homesickness. The woods. Farewell princess, who are on my lips. We stood surrounded by departing,

00:50:45.050 - 00:50:54.720

gets noisy with where it is. She run my hand and Drew made one side. As you said, we shall await another incarnation.

00:50:54.720 - 00:51:05.270

And yet I go with you, you stay with me, use my Book of Hours and I and yawns. The lights group among the Zara, zara and L.

00:51:05.270 - 00:51:14.330

And the huge shadows swayed from side to side. As I went down the stairs alone to darkness. Months after that,

00:51:14.330 - 00:51:25.650

one Green Knight on the desert, white stars like daisies and the grass seemed near enough to gather. I recall the serious DO TV.

00:51:25.650 - 00:51:34.580

And there was to Socrates, a wandering man who loves his books. Let's make his mind the library and then he can

00:51:34.580 - 00:51:44.030

read by style, I dive team. Having described the love beyond desire for model, you reveal the ultimate love.

00:51:44.030 - 00:51:52.220

The fastening on none, seeks out in all things, whatever part of beauty and maybe found till from

00:51:52.220 - 00:52:03.880

so many fragments to the last secreted spot, the many shine as one. And suddenly I shivered. I was aware of the long never

00:52:03.880 - 00:52:12.820

traveled road toward home. And with my eyes still on the style at page of memory. I read from that same discuss

00:52:12.820 - 00:52:21.300

how Aristophanes convinced love in the beginning of the world. Ah, cells are split into and through all life.

00:52:21.300 - 00:52:32.950

Thereafter. Each HA, goes looking for the other half. In questions, every gaze IU, My love them. And that idea of half cells of reunion.

00:52:32.950 - 00:52:47.720

Move me to think how 1.5 was the man. The other half his native country. Only the exile knows the pangs ascribe to love this desert where IN for

00:52:47.720 - 00:53:02.040

France was green for 1000 years ago. The last Egyptian exile from here cried to the homing is then no one who speaks the language of Egypt.

00:53:02.040 - 00:53:12.680

And the Chinese poet sent to a province thought of this friends and web. In this DAU phase, there is no one to be called remotely

00:53:12.680 - 00:53:30.550

human. By the waters. If Babylon, all men together sit down and we many week has one. That is, we'll call that section

00:53:30.550 - 00:53:41.170

is devoted to that homesickness, which you will often find is the subject of poetry to the edges. I think. I will send

00:53:41.170 - 00:53:59.780

you away with another familiar poem. Often read 20th century.

00:54:10.840 - 00:54:22.800

I say this. There is no time, no time. There is no time. Not even for kids, not even for this not aim for this run.

00:54:22.800 - 00:54:31.870

It is May and blossom sway and sifted snow under the moon. I only know that I cannot stay for today is May and morrow.

00:54:31.870 - 00:54:40.150

An arrow shot from an idiot, though that is my lat. And I must go. There is no time, no time. There's no time.

00:54:40.150 - 00:55:32.810

Not even his nothing but there's nothing to this random. I think the flat after I learned up here, I'm just leaving them are not looking

00:55:32.810 - 00:56:06.740

very much like this. In fact, regarded

00:56:06.740 - 00:56:54.590

at the moment. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

00:57:10.690 - 00:58:16.770

If you're not right there. Thank you. Yeah.

00:58:28.720 - 00:58:57.390

Mostly they can't afford anything to do with thinking about their favorite.

00:59:07.330 - 00:59:37.620

Our cognitive thought. Wow, wow, wow. Wow.

00:59:45.760 - 01:00:07.850

Gloria canceled out. Not all modeled on the branding agency. For

01:00:07.850 - 01:00:38.190

a very long life. Hi there, My Fair enough.
