An Illustrated Poem from the Past
Some verse is meant to be accompanied by illustration ... Just lovely.
I wonder what happened to make that die out? Do people even know of the connection between Dore and Dante anymore? Though I suppose, few read Dante.
I think verse has fallen so far from favor - as has illustration. I'm trying to bring both back!
I will never see that last stanza without thinking of Poul Anderson's heartbreaking A KNIGHT OF GHOSTS AND SHADOWS, perhaps the best of all the Flandry tales.
Good un! Spoken verse has a nice reading: https://youtu.be/UfceiMe45go?si=4BkBzNgb6mZYVlEP
Terrific, as always.
This is one recorded version. The first verse is a capella, but keep listening.

Maddy Prior and Steeleye Span! Great music.
Also Fairport Convention & Fotheringay with Sandy Denny...
Beautiful
