Carleton Hobbs reads sonnets by CHARLES TENNYSON TURNER compiled and introduced by PATRIC DICKINSON
Charles Tennyson Turner (1808. 1879) was Alfred's elder brother. His sonnets deal with the least regarded of God's creatures. Sheep going to market, for instance....
' I listen'd, while that multitudinous sound
Peal'd from the highway through the twilight air,
A cry for light, while all was dark around,
A throng of voices like a people's prayer'
