Neil Peart wrote Xanadu based on this poem… such an epic tune

seemed a little too fast, would have loved to have Ian McKellen read this.

I truly adore this reading, I feel like he handles the cadence of the piece exactly as I read it on the page, and brings it to life in all its terrible and divine glory.

Sure fire enjoyment

I read about this poem in the novel "Snow" by Orhan Pamuk. Very beautiful!

[@talstory]

a great reading. He could leave just a wee bit more space before the damsel in a vision section..but very evocative and brought the first part to life too

[@stuboyd1194]

I was just thinking, it would be perfect to hear this spoken by Richard Burton. My wish was granted. There's a video here on YT of the late RB reciting it.

My favourite reading of this. And it was actually playing Ghost Recon Breakpoint, of all things, that made me think of this. A savage paradise indeed.
