Peace comes dropping slow

It's been a while since we had any poetry here, but I thought I'd offer some to be listened to, rather than to be read. Anthony Hopkins' rich, melodious voice is the perfect instrument for this, so here is Yeats' The Lake Isle of Innisfree and Dylan Thomas' Fern Hill.

Wonderful, no doubt, but there's no one to read Dylan Thomas like the man himself - half drunk, rough voiced, querulous, but unutterly rhythmic and passionate - try In the White Giant's Thigh or Do Not Go Gently.
