Reminds me of my childhood growing up in the Shropshire/Staffordshire country side. The Clee Hills are amongst my favourite places in the world. Even though I am now half a world away

What a happy discovery. Housman's great work is given dignified, sonorous and delicately balanced evocation in your well paced readings. I can't imagine what the down voters found lacking unless the work is foreign to them and they just were passing through. Thank you for sharing.

I was about to comment but I read yours, are you also a poet, a writer? Long ago it was my dream but, no talent nor imagination. I take my cap off to you and of course our dear reader, too many don't "dig" poetry anymore, sorry my first volumes of poetry ( Dylan Thomas, Leonard Cohen, The Rubiat of Omar Khiam- pardon my spelling, I am university educated, I tell not a lie! ) Sonorous! Namaste, Z Do you write poetry? Who is your fav- oh, yes I forgot, Matthew Arnold, Dover Beach ( hippie here) and Emily Dickenson and a controversial ! Arent most if the sublime controversial? Fascism, I can "hear" Bob Dylan "singing" Ezra Pound! T.S, Elliott. I SINCERELY APOLOGIZE FOR THE SPELLING, up at 3am with a migraine, so kind sir, cut me some slack. I did read poetry in high school, my sources might strike you as odd, a hippie, who got into an argument as to who DYLAN was- I already owned a volume, and of course back then just being female meant you were genetically less swift! Ah me...those were the days, I shall proceed to Housman's, To An Athlete...

I never understand such downvotes! Housman’s poetry is beautiful.

Please, What is the music sounding background? Thanks

[@rspratt]

The music is "A Shropshire Lad" by George Butterworth (1912). You can hear a version here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/omSceHelrtaKd9k
