This podcast has been created specifically for English learners all over the world. I'd like to take you on a journey that involves you, me, and words in order for us to learn as much English as possible together. I had to learn English many years ago, so I know what it's like to sit in a corner, afraid, ashamed, and nervous to say something in English because you're terrified of making a mistake and being embarrassed. So you can improve your English while you listening, I give literature a voice by podcasting recordings of classic poems from the past. My library is meant to be a resource for everyone who enjoys reading and listening great stories. It's all about the listening for me, and how hearing poetry can make it more accessible while also amplifying its emotional impact.https://anchor.fm/daydreamer-3/subscribehttps://www.buymeacoffee.com/a.a.bhttps://anchor.fm/daydreamer4

In 29 words (and, given the repetitions, fewer than 20 different words!), William Blake makes a shrewd, unsettling observation, expressing it in a form that is, precisely, unforgettable. (You have memorized this poem, once you have read it.) Writing in the late 18th century, Blake observes something about sexual manners on a level that does not apparently change much with the centuries. Note that it is not gratification in the other, but the sight or appearance of visible gratification that each requires. This sight may mean bodily expression of what is within or it may signify a mere gesture or a feigning: the lineaments, says Blake, are what is required. Even the cold urgency of “require” is in contrast with the relatively innocent warmth of its rhyme “desire.” More monumental than mere cynicism, more wise than mere idealism, Blake’s poem shows how much can be done in a little space.
