The great Victorian explorer and linguist March 19, 1821 Sir #Richard_Burton born. Around 2000 we spent a wet London day tramping around the outer suburbs to find his grave. At the end of the day we found it. In the shape of a Bedouin tent.

My choice to #Make_Bluesky_Beautiful_with_Literature today is "Before I Knocked" by #Dylan_Thomas. Read by #Richard_Burton.

#Richard_Burton is mesmerizing in his recitation of "The Hound of Heaven" by #Francis_Thompson.

Poets should take lessons from actors on recitation.

I hope you'll give it a listen.
