Four illustrated talks by George Rylands
1—Purple and Plain
Taking the Ohoric Song from Tennyson's ' The Lotos-Eaters ' as an example of ' poetical ' verse and D. H. Lawrence 's ' Snake ' as an example of colloquial verse, George Rylands begins his second series of talks on the art of speaking poetry to an audience.
Michael Hordem reads the Choric Song and Herbert's The Collar '; Tony White reads ' Snake.'
