What a nice job someone did of putting this all together.

And this.

Depression is universal, I guess.; 9:07 PM
Ron Scheer said...: A haunting song I've listened to many, many times...it makes the sentiment of the poem almost bearable... thanks.; 10:43 PM

C. Margery Kempe said...: Funny, I just used that song in an ongoing narrative on my alter ego's FB page. Depressions are alike in their aimless blight. I love Sexton's work and thought Gabriel did a brilliant job of both capturing and interpreting the poem.; 9:56 AM
