Richard's Reading Material

  A few hours ago Clickonline released another tantalizing tidbit of information from Richard. This time the question is what is he reading? The answer, a Mary Roach book called Stiff : The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers. Interesting reading material. From the synopsis and the expert from the book it sounds like something I may enjoy. I can get a little twisted in my reading or on my wishlist of books, I guess.

  Also when questioned by Richard Armitage Central about whether this could be relative to a  film role, Clickonline gave the answer "I'm thinking... no!"

Richard Armitage Reading Ted Hughes' 'Song'

  The VOICE! OH YEA GODS! Ovary flipping, exploding or whatever you would like to call it time. *THUD*

Richard reading Ted Hughes' Song

And here is another one but from a different youtube blogger? poster? Anyway...

Song

by

Ted Hughes

O lady, when the tipped cup of the moon blessed you

You became soft fire with a clouds grace;

 The difficult stars swam for eyes in your face;

You stood, and your shadow was my place;

You turned, your shadow turned to ice

O my lady.

O lady, when the sea caressed you

You were a marble of foam, but dumb.

When will the stone open it's tomb?

 When will the waves give over their foam?

You will not die, nor come home,

O my lady.

O lady, when the wind kissed you

You made him music for you were a shaped shell.

I follow the waters and the wind still

Since my heart heard it and all pieces fell

Which your lovers stole, meaning ill,

O my lady

O lady, consider when I shall have lost you

The moon's full hands, scattering waste,

The sea's hand, dark from the world's breast,

The world's decay where the wind's hands have passed,

And my head, worn out with love, at rest

In my hands, my hands full of dust,

O my lady.

To "O, my lady" I say - Oh my lord. *THUD* again.
