I love the analysis and that last bit by Oscar Wilde! I'm must sit with this a bit. I feel this work intensely! Many thanks, Gabriella! Be well
@GabriellaTavini 2 жыл бұрын
Yeah, it’s an intense poem alright. And what’s beautiful about most classical poetry in general, is you can keep revisiting it as you get older and the meaning always shifts slightly. Very cool.

Thanks, your content is great I wish I had access to this when I did my A-levels in 2016. But late now haha. Just had a bit of a personal interest in this poet/writer (name is a giveaway). Wish he was an option then.

Hi Gabriella, V interesting, but one teeth-on-edge moment as tip for future: 'Yea" is absolutely deffo pronounced "Yay" - not 'Yee", which made yr otherwise excellent reading, and the poem, sound weird. Emnmasaying,com confirms, and all other readings I've heard, including a great one from Burton on YT. Interested in your point about hexameters which I'd not noticed, As a Latin rather than English meter I wonder whether it has the effect of making the poem feel urgent, precipitate and slightly mad - like Burton's reading. Also interesting that other artists raided the poem, which must say something. Cole Porter, in a comic tone "I've always been true to you, darling, in my fashion" and Margaret Mitchell, who loved the poem, used 'Gone with the Wind" for her book.

Hey Mr T Brearley, I love your enthusiasm for this poem and thanks for the hot tip. I’d like to think that if this poem was read aloud purely for performance purposes, not teaching, that the speaker would vary the pace based on their instincts about the poem. I feel the pace changes at specific point, but it’s really subjective to the speaker. Thanks for commenting! 🙏🏻

Richard Burton pronounces it SIN-ARA. That surprised me.
