I don't speak Italian. I'm sorry.
I'm thinking of using some of my webspace to make a place where people can upload themselves reciting poetry. It'd be searchable and stuff I guess. Really I have space to use and I don't know of any services like this that currently exist.
That poem is very long. It took about 8 minutes to speak. We read it in class today again (we'd read it before) and my mind was filled with a song and the color deep red that you see when a candle is about to go out. The song just about put me in a trance. When my teacher stopped reading it to ask questions about it, I couldn't hardly think. I remembered the book by Robert Cormier, The Chocolate War and how the kid has a poster of a man on a beach with the phrase "Do I dare disturb the Universe?" and I couldn't shake the image of a sandy shore with a man with a low voice reading this poem with a guitar or some instrument (the song) soft in the background during a blood red sunset.
Have you ever had a surreal experience like this? It was eerie, captivating, and very profound. I am unsatisfied with myself for not having the proper voice to make the feeling come out or the aptitude to recreate the lyricness that I heard inside my head.
