marleed Ohhh, tears every time. The first time I hear this was in the movie Four weddings and a funeral. It was also recited at my husband‘s memorial (nearly 18 years ago - geez, I wonder if he‘d know me now). 14h

I‘m finding this too esoteric. #Roll100 @PuddleJumper

PuddleJumper I didn't know he wrote longer form poems. I enjoy his other works, I'll have to look out for this 2y
dabbe Sometimes those modernists really wanted to make things difficult for the reader. I love challenging works, but I don't like challenging works just for the sake of showing me how brilliant you are. (not that I know WH is doing this here, but that's usually when I bail on a modernist piece of literature). 2y
IndoorDame @dabbe it might be me not WH, but the whole time I was reading I kept thinking I just read The vTempest and I still feel like I need the benefit of a college lecture to get this. Not worth it… 2y
dabbe @IndoorDame Well, that's another thing we have in common (sort of). I tried to read WH and couldn't even get past a few pieces. And my feelings why are the same as yours. And now that I'm (ahem) older, life is short, and I want to enjoy what I read and be challenged but not necessarily oh-good-lord-not-another-plea-to-have-our-book-club-read-Ulysses challenged. That was fun to write. 😊 2y
IndoorDame @dabbe haha I‘m with you there! Challenged is good. But I have yet to hear anything about Ulysses that makes me even slightly tempted to tackle it 2y
