S19E1: "Epitaph on the Countess of Pembroke" by William Browne
The Well Read Poem - Ein Podcast von Thomas Banks - Montags
In this 19th season of the Well Read Poem, the principal theme of the six poems selected will be that of Death. We selected these poems to provide a variety of imaginative treatments of what Henry James called "The Distinguished Thing", drawing on the writings of poets of different centuries, cultures and perspectives. We hope they are enjoyable, illuminating, and not so dismal as to discolor anyone's summer. Today's selection is "Epitaph on the Countess of Pembroke" by William Browne. Readings begin at timestamps 9:35 and 12:15. To learn more about this podcast and host Thomas Banks, visit https://www.theliterary.life/the-well-read-poem/.
