In 96 kbps:
my body ached; I was nearly dead on my feet
he should have gone to bed to get warm
the bewitching features of the most beautiful face
a man swimming in the sea among the wreckage of his ship
no boots, and I was afraid of the frost
So
temve's CD arrived today all the way from
Germany today, and not only is it Ewan and have Ewan as a little jewel case cover insert thingy, but it's Ewan reading
Chekhov from
Book at Bedtime, and this makes me so happy that I can barely even speak. I let out this long eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee when I picked up the mail and oh my God, oh my God, oh my God.
I have seen green forests, fields, rivers, lakes, cities. I have heard the singing of the sirens, and the strains of the shepherds' pipes; I have touched the wings of comely devils who flew down to converse with me of God. In your books, I have plunged into the bottomless pit, performed miracles, murdered, burned towns, preached new religions, conquered whole kingdoms.
Now imagine Ewan's voice reading that. The ups and downs. The way his accent flickers in and out. Now combined with sheer, gorgeous emotional intensity of Chekhov. OMG. You should hear the way he makes his voice go a little, the way he falters at
I have touched the wings.
God bless
temve.
