標籤: 倉海君

Literary critic Harold Bloom was interviewed about his new anthology "American Religious Poems" on NPR the 9th of September. It's ever so moving to hear him recite poems, especially the last one of the interview:

I know moonrise, I know starrise, Lay dis body down. I walk in de moonlight, I walk in de starlight, To lay dis body down. I walk in de graveyard, I walk through de graveyard, To lay dis body down. I lie in de grave and stretch out my arms ; Lay dis body down.I go to de judgment in de evenin' of de day, When I lay dis body down ; And my soul and your soul will meet in de day, When I lay dis body down.
