Hark! The Herald Angels Sing

from Ririro.com - Poetry Hosted by Ririro

"Hark! The Herald Angels Sing" is a Christmas poem by Charles Wesley that opens with a triumphant call for all nations to rise and join the celestial rejoicing over the birth of Christ. Wesley moves swiftly from jubilation to theological depth, meditating on the Incarnation — God taking human form — and the promise of reconciliation between the divine and the fallen. Each stanza builds in intensity, moving from announcement to invitation, urging the reader not merely to observe the nativity but to be inwardly transformed by it.

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 )
