RE: The others, opaque

in #dsound7 years ago

I have been hesitating on commenting on this one as to avoid sounding opaque. Some form of kindness inevitably will be transmitted through my words but coldness I do not wish to portray.

  • I cannot attempt to put the frailty and beauty of human life in words.

  • We are not the gardeners even of our own garden. This is a strong statement but true. We just enjoy the splendor freely.

  • The last words of this poem ring out great hope for human beings. The written text says:

We could shout through the mists
And so pierce the opaque.

In the recording I heard "perhaps" leaving me not sure if my scream can pierce the opaque. But anyway it's worth a try. This is unique to the recorded version and appropriate as your own voice is piercing the opaque.


I learned through your post that DSound can be a great tool for language learners. As you speak the poem with a calming background listeners are getting more than a relaxing poem but an experience. Second language learners are getting the opportunity to follow the speaking patterns of a native speaker in a stress free environment. I will think about how to implement DSounds into my posts as well.


I am amazed you are doing this everyday. You came back about a week ago saying you got something new and you were not kidding.
