The Climber's Dream

About this film

LibriVox volunteers bring you 10 recordings of The Climber's Dream by Edward Woodley Bowling. This was the Fortnightly Poetry project for July 14, 2014. Read in English by Anders Stigö; Claudia Salto; David Lawrence; fshort; Jason Mills; Julia Niedermaier; KHand; Larry Greene; Leonard Wilson and Rosslyn Carlyle. Edward Woodley Bowling was apparently a rector at the Church of All Saints in Houghton Conquest, Bedfordshire, England in the late 1800's, this poem is taken from Sagittulae, Random Verses. In this book's introduction he writes "The general reader will probably think that some apology is due to him from me for publishing verses of so crude and trivial a character. I can only say that the smallest of bows should sometimes be unstrung, and that if my little arrows are flimsy and light they will, I trust, wound no one." (Summary by David Lawrence) For further information, including links to online text, reader information, RSS feeds, CD cover or other formats (if available), please go to the LibriVox catalog page for this recording.
