La Ballade des pendus

from French Poetry Collection (Vina Tirven-Gadum) · host Athabasca University

À la fin de l'année 1462, impliqué dans une rixe au cours de laquelle François Ferrebouc, notaire pontifical, est blessé, Villon est arrêté, torturé et condamné à la pendaison dans la prison de Châtelet, et fait appel de la sentence. C'est sans doute pendant ces jours pénibles, dans sa cellule de condamné à mort, qu'il écrit La Ballade des pendus , où se manifeste notamment son obsession des corps pourrissants.

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 )
