So do I! I have downloaded about 11gig worth of their shows lol. I adore Yeats and this talk is excellent, especially the analysis by the great Yeats scholar Roy Foster.
I am glad you liked this Hermgirl :) "To and fro we leap And chase the frothy bubbles, While the world is full of troubles And anxious in its sleep. Come away, O human child! To the waters and the wild With a faery, hand in hand, For the world's more full of weeping than you can understand."
At 31.04 "that famous poetic device of -----------" is mentioned. It's during the discussion of the last four lines in An Irish Airman Forsees His Death.Does anyone know the device or how to spell it ?
In Our Time is a great radio series - this is an inspired piece of work.
Excellent discussion. Thanks for posting!

Thank you for posting this, Harvey.
The Poisonous Paradox of Politics & Poetry...
Excellent.
an eye opening conversation
Excellent discussion. Though the radio producer in me must mention that it's not a documentary.
I am glad you enjoyed it.
Thank you.
I enjoyed this program. Thank you. I made "Stolen Child" into a mini movie. I made two different versions. Check it out sometime. I love Yeats poetry.

Chiasmus
In the picture he resembles Bret Easton Ellis.
Served time in a British Gaol as being in the I.R.A. and died of T.B. in Gaol, seemingly and studied in schools as a poet what a contradiction ?
What?
