Fifty Shades of January

De: William Shakespeare, Charlotte Bronte, Sara Teasdale, Various

Narrado por: Ghizela Rowe, Richard Mitchley, Gideon Wagner

The year reaches its end with the Twelfth month. The landscape may be bleak, a sculpture of lines, monochrome dominates. The air carries the sounds of winter: wind, storms, silence.

Our classic poets flex their lexicons with verse that describes all manner of events, sights and sounds. Among their ranks are Hardy, Shakespeare, Rossetti, Nesbit, Burns and a wealth of others, who, with their thoughts and desires express the world in lines of inky marvel.
