Das Krist Kindel

from Ririro.com - Poetry Hosted by Ririro

"Das Krist Kindel" opens on a solitary December evening, a narrator dozing by a crackling fire while winter prowls outside. Through curling cigar smoke, a vision unfolds: a jolly frost-haired figure conjures a miniature stage where tiny children gather in wonder around a glowing baby boy in straw. The scene deepens into a reverent Nativity, complete with gifts of frankincense and myrrh and a soaring prayer over Galilee, before the dream dissolves as a clock proclaims Christmas has arrived.

Song Against Songs, The by G. K. Chesterton (1874 - 1936) LibriVox LibriVox volunteers bring you 9 recordings of The Song Against Songs by G. K. Chesterton. This was the Fortnightly Poetry project for October 16, 2011. Chesterton was a large man, standing 6 feet 4 inches (1.93 m) and weighing around 21 stone (130 kg; 290 lb). His girth gave rise to a famous anecdote. During World War I a lady in London asked why he was not 'out at the Front'; he replied, 'If you go round to the side, you will see that I am.' On another occasion he remarked to his friend George Bernard Shaw: "To look at you, anyone would think a famine had struck England". Shaw retorted, "To look at you, anyone would think you have caused it". P. G. Wodehouse once described a very loud crash as "a sound like Chesterton falling onto a sheet of tin."( Summary from Wikipedia )
