Spiritual Song

from Ririro.com - Poetry Hosted by Ririro

"Spiritual Song" is a short poem by Edgar Allan Poe that opens with a commanding call to listen — "Hark, echo!" — before dissolving into a fleeting vision of archangels wrapped in pure happiness. In just a few spare lines, Poe conjures a sense of celestial sound hovering at the edge of perception, as if the divine can only be glimpsed in the briefest of moments. The poem's brevity is its power, leaving the reader suspended between the earthly act of listening and something far beyond 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 )
