Following on from a NBC post I made about emotions being revived and by a NBC post Native made about eliciting emotions (with the Scandinavian beheading video), I would like to add another text for inspiration: The Raven.
At this stage, no matter if you are socially drinking or not, I think we're a lot more open to emotion and appreciating it on a different plane.
Why The Raven and why the version with Christopher Lee?
Well, it's an eerie poem, Christopher Lee has that bitter voice and Poe, like Lee, was pretty cool; it's a pity Poe let the drink get to him. And, after all, this is TRP... there can't be too much more of an emotive and masculine poem read aloud than this.
I hope you enjoy!
PS - please feel free to suggest other poems.

That was a great post! And I enjoyed listening to Christopher so much more than when I read this poem back in highschool/college.
Since we are sharing poems here is one of Pushkin's most famous ones called Prophet
It definitely has rings of Deus vult in it @carnold03

Круто было, спасибо!
I really like the language and the story. I like the actor too.

Not sure who the actor is, the delivery was excellent!
