I. I am in love with T.S. Eliot's voice.

So awesome--my favorite Billy Collins poem as read by him, set to a special animation:

Billy Collins - Forgetfulness


Also saving for later re-listening. His voice is kind of epic.

♥ I just had to put them where other people, especially someone like you, might check them out. But mostly I wanted to be able have them in one spot so I could revisit them again. ^^; Ohman, it makes me fall utterly in love with hearing a poem read aloud, but especially by the actual poet. I've read The Waste Land before, and liked it okay, especially certain quotes--but to hear it, I FELL HARD for it. It's just...it does something extra, hearing him read it. It's just amazing.
