You first. I ain't doing this shit unless you break the ice.

Roses are red, violets are blue,
Poems are gay and so are you.

will do some FW when OP breaks the ice.

>>804249
If you do Finnegans Wake please do Anna Livia Plurabelle's monologue. I've always wanted to hear it performed out loud. I think it's one of the most beautiful passages ever written in English. To me, it's better than anything out of Shakespeare.

http://vocaroo.com/?media=vvIerghI6fQlc2YjZ

>>804283
Come on you bastards, ice = broke.

>>804281

I've never read that

Can you post that monologue?

I would, but I don't have a mic.

I propose we make this a reading Finnegans Wake thread.

I messed up a couple of times, but this was my third try and I think it's as good as I can get.

http://vocaroo.com/?media=vCeOPM5nMEOFjpUXd

I had no idea what I was reading.

A link if someone wants to do another part:

Request: be dramatic. It's not like anyone here knows who you are, and it's way more interesting and fun to listen to a dramatic reading than it is a normal one.

Yes, you're changing, sonhusband, and you're turning, I can feel you, for a daughterwife from the hills again. Imlamaya. And she is coming. Swimming in my hindmoist. Diveltaking on me tail. Just a whisk brisk sly spry spink spank sprint of a thing theresomere, saultering. Saltarella come to her own. I pity your oldself I was used to. Now a younger's there. Try not to part! Be happy, dear ones! May I be wrong! For she'll be sweet for you as I was sweet when I came down out of me mother. My great blue bedroom, the air so quiet, scarce a cloud. In peace and silence. I could have stayed up there for always only. It's something fails us. First we feel. Then we fall. And let her rain now if she likes. Gently or strongly as she likes. Anyway let her rain for my time is come. I done me best when I was let. Thinking always if I go all goes. A hundred cares, a tithe of troubles and is there one who understands me?One in a thousand of years of the nights? All me life I have been lived among them but now they are becoming lothed to me. And I am lothing their little warm tricks.

>>804370
2/2
And lothing their mean cosy turns. And all the greedy gushes out through their small souls. And all the lazy leaks down over their brash bodies. How small it's all! And me letting on to meself always. And lilting on all the time. I thought you were all glittering with the noblest of carriage.You're only a bumpkin. I thought you the great in all things, in guilt and in glory. You're but a puny. Home! My people were not their sort out beyond there so far as I can. For all the bold and bad and bleary they are blamed, the seahags. No! Nor for all our wild dances in all their wild din. I can seen meself among them, allaniuvia pulchrabelled. How she was handsome, the wild Amazia, when she would seize to my other breast! And what is she weird, haughty Niluna, that she will snatch from my ownest hair! For 'tis they are the stormies. Ho hang! Hang ho! And the clash of our cries till we spring to be free. Auravoles, they says, never heed of your name! But I'm loothing them that's here and all I lothe. Loonely in me loneness. For all their faults. I am passing out. O bitter ending! I'll slip away before they're up. They'll never see. Nor know. Nor miss me.

FUCK. This isnt fair. A seriously awesome thread that I can't participate in because I lack a mic.


Also, inb4 a bunch of people read the endings of popular books and lol at all the people who get mad.

give me a moment gonna try and jig up my mic to work

>>804373
>>804370

Truly beautiful man.

Thanks for posting that.

>>804361
You pretty much suck at reading. It's interesting listening to the mistakes you make: you fill in the the puns and made-up words with what you think should be there. Joyce played you.

Good job with the thunder word, though! You read that like a pro.

>>804373
>And all the greedy gushes out through their small souls.

Anyone reminded of this?
>tiny little naughty farties ending in a long gush from your hole.

Can't unsee.

>>804374
>>804356

If you have a pair of headphones and a mic port, plug the headphones into the mic port. It'll work as a mic.

>>804283

Your voice is hot. I'd hit it.

>>804391

>>804382

>You pretty much suck at reading.

._.

It's fucking Finnegans Wake, man. I tried.

>>804391
How would me talking with earbuds in my ears make a mic? I would call troll but this is /lit/ and all.

>>804395

Seriously.

>>804361
Sounds really, really good.
Incidentally, Irishfag here.
Here's a link to ALP's monologue:
http://ebooks.adelaide.edu.au/j/joyce/james/j8f/episode17.html

>>804397

No no, plug ear buds into mic port. Talk into ear bud 'speakers'. It seriously works as a mic.

>>804392
English people, fuckable when you hear the voice, uggos when you see the teeth.

>>804408

Oh, Joyce :3

>>804553
Glorious.

>>804556
You sound extremely dramatic. It'd work for certain monologues but sounded a bit off here.

>>804581
Yeah I suppose. Looking at it now it sounded too much like I was trying to make love to the microphone or something.

>>804370
>>804373

I'd LOVE to hear the first poem of Cantos de vida y esperanza

You soy aquel que ayer no más decía

Wow, thanks.

Is there a part 2 or did vocaroo cut you in the middle?

>>804916
And El soneto de trece versos too because i feel like it and its short.

http://vocaroo.com/?media=vkRGDBBrXMiZhVg2f

Me doing Edgar alan poe "The Raven" 1st stanza, Its all I can remember.

If you want more Ill deliver

>>805023

No,

The recording ends on "El Arte puro como Cristo exclama:"

There is another line in the stanza: "ego sum lux et veritas et vita!", as well as 6 other stanzas.

>>805038
It's a bit from Woyzcek where he's hearing voices telling him to 'stab the bitch.'

http://vocaroo.com/?media=vq61JRdtpBjhb12mz

>>805048

I remember the fisrt 3 stanzas. Give me a minute.

>>805049
Oh, you're right, it was cut there where I was reading it.

Πάσης ὥρας φρόντιζε στιβαρῶς ὡς Ῥωμαῖος καὶ ἄρρην τὸ ἐν χερσὶ μετὰ τῆς ἀκριβοῦς .. καὶ ἀπλάστου σεμνότητος καὶ φιλοστοργίας καὶ ἐλευθερίας καὶ δικαιότητος πράσσειν καὶ σχολὴν ἑαυτῷ ἀπὸ πασῶν τῶν ἄλλων φαντασιῶν πορίζειν. ποριεῖς δέ, ἂν ὡς ἐσχάτην τοῦ βίου ἑκάστην πρᾶξιν ἐνεργῇς, ἀπηλλαγμένος πάσης εἰκαιότητος καὶ ἐμπαθοῦς ἀποστροφῆς ἀπὸ τοῦ αἱροῦντος λόγου καὶ ὑποκρίσεως καὶ φιλαυτίας καὶ δυσαρεστήσεως πρὸς τὰ συμμεμοιραμένα. ὁρᾷς πῶς ὀλίγα ἐστίν, ὧν κρατήσας τις δύναται εὔρουν καὶ θεουδῆ βιῶσαι βίον· καὶ γὰρ οἱ θεοὶ πλέον οὐδὲν ἀπαιτήσουσι παρὰ τοῦ ταῦτα φυλάσσοντος.

From Marcus Aurelius' meditations.
Pardon my shitty ancient greek pronunciation.

http://vocaroo.com/?media=vhpozOnpQd25pYj9Q

It's the Dies Irae.

>>805157
the whole point of the poem is it's really hard to tell. In fact the poem is originally written entirely in hiragana to make the meaning even more ambiguous.
