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 ) Talks Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden Browse through our selection of lectures and talks by Friday Gallery Talks, In Conversation, and Meet the Artist. listen to sounds kebing comedy:Troilus and Cressida By: William Shakespeare (1564-1616) The Two Gentlemen of Verona By: William Shakespeare (1564-1616)The Way of the World By: William Congreve (1670 -1729)Why Marry?
