Bedtime Story Conservatory 45 11/05/2020
Hello, once again, to everybody on this list,
Today has been an odd kind of day, and this seems to have manifested itself as some kind of mild gut ache. As I write this email, it is alleviating, and I feel myself becoming happier because of this. Thanks gut, thanks email, thanks everyone.
Also, a reminder, that I am under no impression that everyone is avidly listening to every recording I send, and please feel completely comfortable and free to dip in, and jump out, whenever you see fit. I may not need to tell you that, but i'm saying this to possibly alleviate any pressure these emails put upon you in their frequency. I feel filled with love for everyone that has signed up to these emails, thank you to you.
In preemption of my reading today, I would like to share with you this video of a raven trained to say the word 'Nevermore'. Eerie.
Today's reading is another of Edgar Allan Poe's, The Raven 1845. The poem is probably Poe's most famous, and is a narrative, following a young heartbroken scholar longing to forget his lost 'Lenore', but also longing to remember her. The poem has strong supernatural qualities, epitomised by the arrival of an allegorical Raven, which sits in the scholar's bedchamber, and speaks.
