Thread Name: Lyr Add: One and Twenty (A E Housman) sound poem
Subject: RE: One and twenty - A E Housman sound poem
Mick, if Housman "refused to let the BBC broadcast his poems unless they were put to melodies and sung," that's probably because few people would read or recite the poem with the skill that Sir Basil R. did! (He didn't "need no steenking music!") :-D
