Did my dissertation on this glorious piece of work. I loved the novels, Stephen King, wrote. Then I found this (not the video). As a middle school student, reading the novels, I sought out more. A glorious poem. Thank you for this.
Hi Christopher, thank you. It is a poem I remember from school English 50 years ago (in England). I hear a little Vincent Price in your rendition --- if you ever do it again, I'd suggest heightening it. But thanks anyway for helping to keep this great work alive. I believe it influenced Tolkien via CS Lewis (who began a novel, The Dark Tower in 1939-40). The poem seems truly prophetic, considering it was written in 1852
Whilst I love Stephen King's epic in which the Dark Tower was a physical thing, does anyone else think that perhaps Browning's quest was for the truth?
@@nathanexplosionn I disagree, death is easy to find, in fact it seeks us out. Almost found me on several occasions and it ultimately will. The price of life is death.
Beautifully done. Thank you 😊

The tower is death
