William Shakespeare - Sonnet 145

The Talkative Crow reading William Shakespeare's "Sonnet 145".
Those lips that Love’s own hand did make
Breathed forth the sound that said “I hate”
To me that languished for her sake;
But when she saw my woeful state,
Straight in her heart did mercy come,
Chiding that tongue that ever sweet
Was used in giving gentle doom,
And taught it thus anew to greet:
“I hate” she altered with an end
That followed it as gentle day
Doth follow night, who, like a fiend,
From heaven to hell is flown away.
“I hate” from hate away she threw,
And saved my life, saying “not you.”

The Talkative Crow reading Sir Philip Sidney's "Sonnet 1". Loving in truth, and fain in verse my love to show, That she, dear she, might take some pleasure of my pain, Pleasure might cause her read, reading might make her know, Knowledge might pity win, and pity grace obtain,- I sought fit words to paint the blackest face of woe, Studying inventions fine, her wits to entertain, Oft turning othe...

The Talkative Crow reading Shelley's "O! There are Spirits of the Air". O! there are spirits of the air, And genii of the evening breeze, And gentle ghosts, with eyes as fair As star-beams among twilight trees:- Such lovely ministers to meet Oft hast thou turned from men thy lonely feet. With mountain winds, and babbling springs, And moonlight seas, that are the voice Of these inexplicable t...

The Talkative Crow reading "Ithaka" by C.P. Cavafy. As you set out for Ithaka hope your road is a long one, full of adventure, full of discovery. Laistrygonians, Cyclops, angry Poseidon-don’t be afraid of them: you’ll never find things like that on your way as long as you keep your thoughts raised high, as long as a rare excitement stirs your spirit and your body. Laistrygonians, Cyclops, wild ...

Thomas Campion - Cherry-Ripe

Просмотров 217 часов назад

The Talkative Crow reading Thomas Campion's "Cherry-Ripe". There is a garden in her face Where roses and white lilies blow; A heavenly paradise is that place, Wherein all pleasant fruits do flow: There cherries grow which none may buy Till “Cherry-ripe” themselves do cry. Those cherries fairly do enclose Of orient pearl a double row, Which when her lovely laughter shows, They look like rose-bud...

Macbeth (William Shakespeare) - Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow

The Talkative Crow reading "Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow" from William Shakespeare's Macbeth. Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow, Creeps in this petty pace from day to day, To the last syllable of recorded time; And all our yesterdays have lighted fools The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player, That struts and frets his hour upon the s...

The Talkative Crow reading Isabella Whitney's "A Sweet Nosegay" (Full title - "A Sweet Nosegay, or Pleasant Poesy, Containing a Hundred and Ten Philosophical Flowers") Those strokes which mates in mirth do give do seem to be but light, Although sometime they leave a sign seems grievous to the sight.

The Talkative Crow reading Samuel Daniel's "When Men Shall Find Thy Flower", also known as Delia 33. When men shall find thy flower, thy glory, pass, And thou with careful brow sitting alone Received hast this message from thy glass, That tells thee truth and says that all is gone: Fresh shalt thou see in me the wounds thou madest, Though spent thy flame, in me the heat remaining; I that have l...

The Talkative Crow reading Warren Hastings' "Ode to His Wife". And now, my Marian, from its shackles free, My wearied fancy turns for ease to thee; To thee, my compass through life’s varied stream, My constant object, and unfailing theme. Torn from the bosom of my soul’s repose, And self-devoted to surrounding woes, Oft o’er my solitary thoughts I brood- (For passing crowds to me are solitude)-...

The Talkative Crow reading William Byrd's "Care for Thy Soul as Thing of Greatest Price". Care for thy soul as thing of greatest price, Made to the end to taste of power divine, Devoid of guilt, abhorring sin and vice, Apt by God’s grace to virtue to incline. Care for it so as by thy retchless train It be not brought to taste eternal pain. Care for thy corse, but chiefly for soul’s sake; Cut of...

The Talkative Crow reading "An Apology for her Poetry" by Margaret Cavendish. I language want to dress my fancies in, The hair's uncurled, the garment's loose and thin. Had they but silver lace to make them gay, They'd be more courted than in poor array; Or, had they art, would make a better show; But they are plain; yet cleanly do they go. The world in bravery doth take delight, And glistering...

There's some have specs to help their sight Of objects dim and small : But Tim had specks within his eyes, A...

The Talkative Crow reading "My Prime of Youth is but a Frost of Cares", sometimes known as "Tichborne's Elegy". My prime of youth is but a frost of cares, My feast of joy is but a dish of pain, My crop of corn is but a field of tares, And all my good is but vain hope of gain. The day is gone and yet I saw no sun, And now I live, and now my life is done. The spring is past, and yet it hath not s...
