Is there a written-out version anywhere? My friend recommended this to me, but I have an obstinate old computer combined with slow internet that frequently refuses to play videos- such as now. I really would love to find out what is so good that my friend recommended this, however!
This is freaking amazing. Flawed people, unable to resist certain urges, paying a dreadful price for their deceptions and flaws: it is still terrorizing and still sad. What a irresistible touch to have you reading the poem. Splendid. Brilliant. I am truly in awe. I just realized that this reminds me -- the mood of it -- to that old poem about the highwayman and the innkeeper's daughter. When I was a child, that poem had an incredible allure to me. This also.
I was intrigued when I suddenly realized what was happening with the water slowly approaching...I think this poem does a great job holding the reder's suspense. The time and care that went into the poem is evident.
