Sybil by Benjamin Disraeli | Fall Asleep With Me
from Pneuma with Daniel Finneran · host Daniel Finneran
The second episode of my "Sleep Story" series, with which I hope to facilitate your transition to sleep. In this episode, I read to you an excerpt from Benjamin Disraeli's "Sybil". In it, we meet the titular character, Sybil, as she meditates on the deep, unbridgeable chasm in English society--the gap between the landed and landless, the rich and poor, the conquerors and oppressed--just before encountering the sympathetic aristocrat, Charles Egremont. Listen as long as you can. Hopefully, by its end, you're sound asleep. Leave me a five-star rating in the morning! Sweet dreams.
