Robert Southey - 'The Battle of Blenheim' - poem
The Battle of Blenheim by Robert Southey read by Sir Derek Jacobi www.productexchange.co.uk copyright to 'productexchange.co.uk' see web site for details. Thanks to Frank Rodgers for sharing this. Audio created by Robert Nichol AudioProductions Robert Southey (August 12, 1774 -- March 21, 1843) was an English poet of the Romantic school, one of the so-called "Lake Poets", and Poet Laureate. Although his fame tends to be eclipsed by that of his contemporaries and friends William Wordsworth and Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Southey's verse enjoys enduring popularity It was a summer evening; Old Kaspar's work was done, And he before his cottage door Was sitting in the sun; And by him sported on the green His little grandchild Wilhelmine. She saw her brother Peterkin Roll something large and round, Which he beside the rivulet In playing there had found. He came to ask what he had found, That was so large, and smooth, and round. Old Kaspar took it from the boy, Who stood expectant by; And then the old man shook his head, And with a natural sigh, "'Tis some poor fellow's skull," said he, "Who fell in the great victory. "I find them in the garden, For there's many here about; And often, when I go to plow, The plowshare turns them out; For many thousand men," said he, "Were slain in that great victory." "Now tell us what 'twas all about," Young Peterkin, he cries; And little Wilhelmine looks up With wonder-waiting eyes; "Now tell us all about the war, And what they fought each other ...

The Cataract Of Lodore - Poem by Robert Southey
For full text of poem, see below . . . Another bonus video! All pictures taken by duckpondwithoutducks. I love poetry and I love waterfalls -- and this is those two things combined! I actually collect waterfalls. What is that, you may ask? Every year I go on a short trip to explore waterfalls I have never seen before. I collect them by means of pictures. Take only pictures, leave only footprints! My favourite waterfalls are those that are small and intimate, that you can go right up close to. Alas, none of these pictures are actually of the Cataract of Lodore, as I have not been there yet! Interesting fact -- if you look closely at the text of the poem, it itself resembles a waterfall, gradually spreading out as it goes down! Robert Southey (1774-1843) The Cataract Of Lodore 'How does the Water Come down at Lodore?' My little boy ask'd me Thus, once on a time; And moreover he task'd me To tell him in rhyme. Anon at the word, There first came one daughter And then came another, To second and third The request of their brother, And to hear how the water Comes down at Lodore, With its rush and its roar, As many a time They had seen it before. So I told them in rhyme For of rhymes I had store: And 'twas in my vocation For their recreation That so I should sing; Because I was Laureate To them and the King. From its sources which well In the Tarn on the fell; From its fountains In the mountains, Its rills and its gills; Through moss and through brake, It runs and it creeps For ...

Robert Southey To Contemplation
Robert Southey 1774- 1843 Along with Samuel Taylor Coleridge and William Wordsworth, Robert Southey was one of the Lake Poets. They are so called because they lived around the Lake District in England, a bucolic area in which they associated in the early nineteenth century. Robert Southey was born August 12, 1774 in Bristol and was educated at Westminster School, London. He was expelled from school for writing an article that condemned flogging. Later in life he became conservative and advocated harsh penalties for like liberal positions. Because of his conversion, he was dogged by Byron and Hazlitt. William Hazlitt said of Southey: " He wooed Liberty as a youthful lover, but it was perhaps more as a mistress than a bride; and he has since wedded with an elderly and not very reputable lady, called legitimacy." Lord Byron derided Southey for his odes to the king which he saw as obsequious. In his youth Southey had planned with Coleridge to establish an egalitarian community, however they never fulfilled their project. Southey was a writer and scholar and completed biographies of Cromwell, and Nelson among others. He wrote the children's classic The Story of the Three Bears first published in 1834. Robert Southey died March 21, 1843 in Cumberland after a long physical and mental decline. ============================ Text of To Contemplation (I can only find it on one awful site called poemhunter that has annoying audio and pop ups... too annoying to put link here.

Robert Southey - The Three Bears
The Story of the Three Bears (sometimes known as "The Three Bears", "Goldilocks and the Three Bears" or, simply, "Goldilocks") is a fairy tale first recorded in narrative form by British author and poet Robert Southey, and first published anonymously in a volume of his writings in 1837. The same year, British writer George Nicol published a version in rhyme based upon Southey's prose tale, with Southey approving the attempt to bring the story more exposure. Both versions tell of three bears and an old woman who trespasses upon their property. "The Story of the Three Bears" was in circulation before the publication of Southey's 1837 version. In 1831, for example, Eleanor Mure fashioned a handmade booklet about the three bears for her nephew's birthday, and, in 1813, Southey was telling the story to friends. In 1894, "Scrapefoot", a tale with a fox as antagonist which bears striking similarities to Southey's story, was uncovered by the folklorist Joseph Jacobs and may predate Southey's version in the oral tradition. Southey possibly heard "Scrapefoot", and confused its "vixen" with a synonym for a crafty old woman. Some maintain however that the old woman was Southey's invention. "The Story of the Three Bears" experienced two significant changes during its early publication history. Southey's intrusive old woman became an intrusive little girl in 1849, who was given various names referring to her hair until Goldilocks was settled upon in the early 20th century. Southey's ...

Robert Southey - The Cataract Of Of Lodore
Robert Southey (12 August 1774 -- 21 March 1843) was an English poet of the Romantic school, one of the so-called "Lake Poets", and Poet Laureate for 30 years from 1813 to his death in 1843. Although his fame has been long eclipsed by that of his contemporaries and friends William Wordsworth and Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Southey's verse still enjoys some popularity. Moreover, Southey was a prolific letter writer, literary scholar, essay writer, historian and biographer. His biographies include the life and works of John Bunyan, John Wesley, William Cowper, Oliver Cromwell and Horatio Nelson. The last has rarely been out of print since its publication in 1813 and was adapted for the screen in the 1926 British film, Nelson. He was also a renowned Portuguese and Spanish scholar, translating a number of works of those two countries into English and writing both a History of Brazil (part of his planned History of Portugal which was never completed) and a History of the Peninsular War. Perhaps his most enduring contribution to literary history is the children's classic, The Story of the Three Bears, the original Goldilocks story, which first saw print in Southey's prose collection, The Doctor. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SPOON RIVER 2.0 (from the SPOON RIVER ANTHOLOGY by Edgar Lee Masters) directed and produced by Ethan Sinnott cinematography by Jose Saldana AD Blood "IF YOU IN the village think that my work was a good one, Who closed the saloons and stopped all playing at cards, And haled old Daisy Fraser before Justice Arnett, In many a crusade to purge the people of sin; Why do you let the milliner's daughter Dora, And the worthless son of Benjamin Pantier Nightly make my grave their unholy pillow?" Robert Southey Burke "I SPENT MY money trying to elect you Mayor, AD Blood. I lavished my admiration upon you, You were to my mind the almost perfect man. You devoured my personality, And the idealism of my youth, And the strength of a high-souled fealty. And all my hopes for the world, And all my beliefs in Truth, Were smelted up in the blinding heat Of my devotion to you, And molded into your image. And the when I found what you were: That your soul was small And your words were false As your blue-white porcelain teeth, And your cuffs of celluloid, I hated the love I had for you, I hated myself, I hated you For my wasted soul, and wasted youth. And I say to all, beware of ideals, Beware of giving your love away To any man alive."
