Soulless

Sounds like Tagore as recited by Theresa May... This isn't suitable for listening im afraid.

Terrible reader

The reader is totally inappropriate for these noble poems. She reads much too fast and with no feeling, or sensitivity. She sounds like she’s reading off a shopping list rather than great poetry.
