Ladies and gentlemen, University Extension, the University of Delaware presents Robert Hill, you're American poet. In this program.

00:00:21.070 - 00:00:34.320

I'll begin with a few sketches. And the fist one. Is it rather light sketch which I wrote myself called mishandled nine.

00:00:34.600 - 00:00:45.260

Who now remembers Miss Helen line, the piano teacher who loved to bang Beethoven loud on the listening. And when windows were open everywhere.

00:00:45.260 - 00:00:54.500

In the hot suburban afternoon. Both leaves and people, communists who lived from the tree or lymph and the swing.

00:00:54.500 - 00:01:09.230

Except for Miss Helen lang for thing. A piano keys are the keys to hell. My mother said, she plays very well. Answered at ella to be for this Marion laws,

00:01:09.230 - 00:01:18.950

it was like occurs my answer dead. And so as my mother, I suppose that I and my sisters and brother alone.

00:01:18.950 - 00:01:31.550

Remember Miss Helen Lane who love Beethoven, played with a bang. Now I'm going to read three character sketches

00:01:31.550 - 00:01:42.320

by the great American poet, Edwin Arlington Robinson. His great interests was people. And perhaps among people is

00:01:42.320 - 00:01:53.210

great interests was with those who are not quite successes. And he saw them with arrive at synthetic, gave.

00:01:53.210 - 00:02:05.330

The first is called uncle and, and ions. His words were magic and his heart was true. And everywhere he wanted, he was bled out of

00:02:05.330 - 00:02:17.120

all ancient man, my childhood you, I choose him and I mock him for the best of all authoritative last two, I crown him loveliest.

00:02:17.120 - 00:02:25.100

How fun they, I remember the delight that always glorified him in the spring, the joyous courage, and

00:02:25.100 - 00:02:32.990

the Bennett I profusion of his faith in everything. He was a good old man. And it was right that

00:02:32.990 - 00:02:43.870

he should have his plane. And often underneath the apple trees. When we surprised him in the summertime with what's the third magnificent

00:02:43.870 - 00:02:54.770

and magnificence and ease. He sinned enough to make the day sublime. And if he liked us that about is neither truly was no crime.

00:02:54.770 - 00:03:02.860

All summer long. We loved him for the same perennial inspiration of his lies. And when the russet wealth of

00:03:02.860 - 00:03:14.030

autumn came, the flu. But Sarah visions to multiple tropical wing it with a feather, a flame, like birds of paradise.

00:03:14.030 - 00:03:27.740

So do the sheltered and many a year, he calm the seasons out with pageantry, wearing upon his thyroid with no fair the Lara of approved inequity.

00:03:27.740 - 00:03:41.010

And every child who knew him on there did love him. Faithfully. Charming picture the old man and imagination.

00:03:42.580 - 00:03:55.130

This is the famous Richard caret, iodine ions and Robinson. Whenever Richard car I went downtown, we people on the pavement looked at him.

00:03:55.130 - 00:04:06.740

He was a gentleman from Seoul to Crown. Queen, favored an imperialist limb. He was always quietly arrayed and he was

00:04:06.740 - 00:04:17.510

always human when he taught. But still he flooded pulses when he said, Good morning. And he greeted as he walk. And he was rich?

00:04:17.510 - 00:04:29.710

Yes, richer than a cane, and admirably school and every grade in time. We thought that he was everything to make us wish we were in his place.

00:04:29.710 - 00:04:39.410

So on we work and waiting for the light and went without the meat and cut the bread. And Richard caret, 1 com Salman,

00:04:39.410 - 00:04:53.500

I went home and put a bullet through his head. Grim ending has no explanation. The reason which occur I did

00:04:53.500 - 00:05:08.080

that is that's entirely your imagination. And now a picture of an elder romantic young men. Men of achieving minute

00:05:08.080 - 00:05:16.480

achieve a child who's gone through Lean while his sale the season, he wet that he was ever born. And he had reason.

00:05:16.480 - 00:05:26.250

Minerva, love the days of old. When saws were Brian's deeds were practicing, the vision of a warrior bold would set him dancing.

00:05:26.250 - 00:05:36.980

Minute aside for what was not. And dreamed and rested from his labors. He dreamed of thieves and Camelot and Priam's neighbors.

00:05:36.980 - 00:05:45.590

Minimum on the right pronoun made so many names, so fragrant him on romance. Now on the town.

00:05:45.590 - 00:05:57.380

And a vagrant minute I loved the Medicaid, albeit he had never seen one. He would have sinned incessantly. They could he have been one minute

00:05:57.380 - 00:06:07.580

occurs the common day. And I had a khaki suit with loading. He missed the med, eval grace that ion clothing minimise gone the gold.

00:06:07.580 - 00:06:19.120

He saw the solenoid who see without it. Minerva thought and thought and thought and thought about it. Man of achieve a bond to lay,

00:06:19.120 - 00:06:35.940

scratched his head and kept on thinking, Minerva call and call it fate. And when I'm drinking. And now a dramatic monologue

00:06:35.940 - 00:06:52.940

by Robert Browning. The well-known for fear is lover. The rain set alien tonight, the stellen Windows soon awake.

00:06:52.940 - 00:07:06.200

Haw the top down frostbite. And it is worth to vex the lake. I listen with hot fit to break. When guided in both theory and straight,

00:07:06.200 - 00:07:20.030

she shut the cold out and it's gone. And Neil and made a careless, great blazer. And all the cottage wrong, Which done. She rose and from that form withdrew

00:07:20.030 - 00:07:35.230

the dripping Coke and Shaw and laid her style valves by untied her hat and let the damp hair fall and laugh. She sat down by my side and calming.

00:07:35.230 - 00:07:48.640

When no voice to time keeper and on about a wave and made has smooth white shoulder there and all yellow hair display and stooping.

00:07:48.640 - 00:08:01.100

Made my key lie there. And spread yellow hair. Memory how she loved me. Key to wait for all hearts

00:08:01.100 - 00:08:11.870

endeavor to set it's struggling passion free from pride. I'm Dana, ties the server and give herself to me forever.

00:08:11.870 - 00:08:23.300

But passion sometimes will prevail. Now could tonight gaye fees restrain a sudden thought at one so pale for love and all and vein.

00:08:23.300 - 00:08:35.170

So Q has come through wind and rain. Be sure I looked up at her eyes, happy and proud. At last I knew of barrier worship me.

00:08:35.170 - 00:08:48.010

Surprise made my heart swell, and still it grew while I debated, but to do that moment, Q is mine, mine,

00:08:48.010 - 00:09:00.800

perfectly pure and good. I found a thing to do. And all in one long yellow string i 3 times a little

00:09:00.800 - 00:09:14.180

thrown around and strangled her. No pain felt she I'm quite sure she felt no pain as a shut, but that holds a B.

00:09:14.180 - 00:09:24.910

I rarely upheld it. Again, laughter, blue eyes without a stain. An eye on Titan. Next, the tress about her neck,

00:09:24.910 - 00:09:37.520

her cheek once more blacks bright beneath my bed in kids. I propped a header as before. Only this time, my shoulder ball head,

00:09:37.520 - 00:09:46.670

which groups upon it still smiling Rosie little head. So that it has its utmost, well, that all it's gone.

00:09:46.670 - 00:09:55.070

That one says fled and I, it's love and gained instead. Posterior as loud. She guess not how

00:09:55.070 - 00:10:08.550

her darling one, which would be. And thus we sit together now and all night long. We have not. And yet God has not said a word.

00:10:13.000 - 00:10:23.720

From that rather grim, dramatic monologue will tend to today. Delicate and delightful love poem by Andrew Marvell.

00:10:23.720 - 00:10:37.990

17th century poet, is familiarity with his mistress. Had we been well enough and time. This coyness lady, whenever crime,

00:10:37.990 - 00:10:48.560

we would sit down and think which way to walk and pass along nerves day thou by the Indian Ganges died. Kids drew bass, time.

00:10:48.560 - 00:10:56.680

I buy the Tide, if humble would complain, I would love you 10 years before the flood. And you shared a few fees.

00:10:56.680 - 00:11:05.210

Refuse to look. Invasion of the Jews. My vegetable love should grow vaster than empires.

00:11:05.210 - 00:11:16.750

And more slow. And 100 years to go to praise thine eyes and nanofarad gaze. 200 to adore each breath for 30000

00:11:16.750 - 00:11:26.330

to the red and age at least to every part. And the last age, should show your heart. Our Lady.

00:11:26.330 - 00:11:38.020

You deserve the state. Now what I love lower rate. But at my back, I always hear times wing a chariot hurrying there

00:11:38.020 - 00:11:49.010

and yonder all the forest lie, deserts of that state entity. Thy beauty shall no more be found. No. And I marvel of all,

00:11:49.010 - 00:12:03.260

shows sound by echoing song. Then when she'll try that long, degenerating and your paint on a 10 to death and into ashes all my life.

00:12:03.260 - 00:12:14.030

The graves of fine and private life, but none. Thank you there embrace. Now therefore, while the youthful you sit,

00:12:14.030 - 00:12:24.430

nice, Good morning to you. And while I willing soul transpires at every pore with instant files. Now let us, for us while we may.

00:12:24.430 - 00:12:35.720

And now like amorous birds of prey, rather at one time than languish in this flow chat power. That is, roll all our strength

00:12:35.720 - 00:12:43.490

and all sweetness up into one ball and tear our pleasures with rough, dry thoroughly I AND gates to lie.

00:12:43.490 - 00:12:52.300

Does that. We cannot make our sun stands still, yet we will make him run. And one last poem by

00:12:52.300 - 00:13:03.200

Andrew Marvell to conclude, called a garden after the Civil Wars. See how the flowers as that parade, under that colors stand displayed.

00:13:03.200 - 00:13:12.790

Each regiment in order grows data, the cute pink and rows. But when vigilant patrol the stars walks round about the poll,

00:13:12.790 - 00:13:23.020

their leaves that to the dots are killed, seemed their staves enzymes. Then in some flowers beloved, each be a sentinel,

00:13:23.020 - 00:13:32.720

a shot, and sleep so too. But if one stead she runs you through, are asked the word, oh, dear and happy,

00:13:32.720 - 00:13:42.770

The Garden of the world. While thou paradise to the four Cs, which haven't planted us to please, but to exclude the world it God

00:13:42.770 - 00:13:53.350

with water a if not flaming. So on. What luck this Apple did we taste to make us motto and the way unhappy Shui nevermore

00:13:53.350 - 00:14:04.340

that sweet Melissa restore when gardens only had that towers. And all the garrisons were flaws. When roses only my bear

00:14:04.340 - 00:14:08.520

and men did Rosie garlands where
