‘There’s always hope where there’s poetry…’
This week, Sally is preparing for her narrowboat, Cerian, to journey upriver for maintenance. Join her in her engine room for a discussion of Somerset Maugham’s novel The Painted Veil, meditations on kindness, and reflections on how poetry helps us to create our own rhythms in a noisy world.
More information on The Painted Veil (1925) can be found here.
The poems read from in this episode are ‘Auguries of Innocence’ by William Blake, ‘“Hope” is the thing with feathers’ by Emily Dickinson, and ‘The Waste Land’ by T.S. Eliot.
The original piano music is ‘Doubt’ and ‘Sunday’ by Paul Sebastian. The original guitar music is by Dylan Gwalia.
This episode was edited and produced by Lucie Richter-Mahr.
Special thanks to Andrew Smith, Violet Henderson, Kris Dyer, and Maeve Magnus.
