15 love poems (most of which were contained in my Bulchevy's Book of English Verse). I particularly liked Andrew Marvell's "To His Coy Mistress" and Christopher Marlowe's "The Passionate Shephard to His Love". ( )

This was a free-bee from Audible on Valentines Day, which was really amazing of them. It was also beyond amazing to listen to. Love poetry, by Richard Armitage, on Valentines. Thanks. Yes. My life was beautiful. And I got to hear some of my favorite love poetry on the right day. It was glorious. ( )

Classic love poems you read in high school from Barrett-Browning, Browning, Poe, Emerson, Marlowe, Shakespeare, and others beautifully read by Richard Armitage. I enjoyed hearing the poems read aloud. I remembered them all from school. ( )

Richard Armitage reading classic poetry. What more needs to be said?

(I'd have given five stars had it been a bit longer.) ( )

Delightful! This was the Christmas gift from Audible in 2017.

I especially was taken by lines from Andrew Marvel’s poem “To His Coy Mistress”: “The grave’s a fine and private place, but none I think do there embrace....” ( )
