Stories - Naked Poetry

What this episode covers

I will leave them for you when I am gone, so you can read them to our children as bedtime stories while I silently weep in the last corner I stood still in. The pictures we take on Christmas day will have to be synced to the same day we were both born. That way, we can always take two. I will always blink twice before we get a good one. You will comment on my smile and I will say why oh why are you talking about yourself - my unhinged angel. You look great today. Do you remember when I told you that I would break my heart for you? Well I would. I would let you murder me too. I mean it, if you needed to. I would. At least I would die in beauty. At least your hands were the last to leave me.

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 ) The History of China Podcast Ibnul Jaif Farabi / Light Knot Studios What does the world's oldest continuous civilization, with over 3,000 years of recorded history, have to teach us about power, philosophy, innovation, and human nature?
