About this film
In celebration of Saint David's Day 2016 (or Dydd Dewi Sant), LibriVox volunteers present 9 readings of Composed Among the Ruins of a Castle in North Wales by William Wordsworth. This was the Weekly Poem for February 29, 2016. Embodying the melancholy of the uniquely welsh word "hiraeth", which roughly translates as a sense of longing for a place that can never be returned to or that never was, this poem is a fitting tribute to the celebration of the patron saint of Wales Summary by Charlotte Duckett Read in English by Bruce Kachuk; Christine Lehman; Charlotte Duckett; David Lawrence; Newgatenovelist; Greg Giordano; Lee Ann Howlett; Maria Kasper and Ryan Finch.
