That’s right, folks! A whole three weeks’ worth of nothing but short-shorts by Lord Dunsany! I’m reading all Fifty-One Tales in the book. Death! Time! Poetry! Fame! Small gods! More bizarre ideas than you can shake a pen at!
The regular schedule of blogging will resume in seventeen days. Just hold yourself to three tales a day, and you’ll get through.
“The Assignation”
“Charon”
“The Death of Pan”
“The Sphinx of Gizeh”
“The Hen”
“Wind and Fog”
“The Raft-Builders”
“The Workman”
“The Guest”
“Death and Odysseus”
“Death and the Orange”
“The Prayer of the Flowers”
“Time and the Tradesman”
“The Little City”
“The Unpasturable Fields”
Thanks for this recording. You did a great job.
Do you by any chance know the translation to the Greek (Latin?) portion of the text? I have been trying to find out for a long time now.
Thanks in advance for any help that you can give.
It’s a famous line from Homer about the Ocean, if I remember correctly. But I don’t know exactly where it comes in, or whether it’s in the Iliad or the Odyssey.
