Deloney Reads Llewelyn Powys on a Saturday Afternoon

video

My stupid camera is stuck on an 18-second thing so I could only read a snippet of what I wanted to read. This would be the full text if I'd had the time:

"I appeal to youth, to boys and girls with senses uncorrupted, with senses fair and fresh. Do not be deceived, do not listen to the foolish talk of envious old women, defeated old men. The days of your youth are yours, the hours of your youth are yours, so few, so few. With concentrated purpose follow the deepest inclinations of your being, and snatch, snatch at happiness with passionate eagerness."

Ok, the grin at the end? So durned cute.

(Let me try again with my fingers on the right keys this time.)

Well, aren't you adorable! And I mean that in the best way. Good voice, too. I'm glad you posted this.

Is the 18-second video like the six-word memoir?

Who was manning the camera . . . Alfie?

Good Bridgett: I only had the nerve to do this because you did it one time.

Suze: your questions will be answered when it's shown at Cannes next year.

What a sunday morning treat!

Joya said...

Whoa, now I'm dizzy. I don't have me sea legs, yet!

In real life, your voice sounds just like it always has in my head.

This is wonderful. And aren't you good with the technology? Please leave this up so I can visit! I'm on the last leg of a trip and head home to VT tomorrow...

How lovely to get an extended peek at you.

Helen said...

Oh yes, the grin is priceless. I hope you can fix the 18-second thing so we can see and hear more.

I agree with all who came here before me.

I bet it was Alfie taking the footage -- that cat has thumbs you know.

Deloney said...

She's all thumbs!

Indigo Bunting said...

Maybe someday I can see the window by the fire escape?

I love seeing you "in person." Thank you for posting this. And I agree, that smile is killer.
