When British Men Read Sonnets

In both classes today, we listened to the sonnets as they would meant to be heard: Tom Hiddleston's Sonnet 18 reading, Patrick Stewart's Sonnet 116 reading, and the late Alan Rickman's Sonnet 130 reading. Their verbal readings provided a better chance to hear the sound effects, the meter, and the forced rhyme (looove instead of love). At this point, second hour has finished the sonnets - and their related galloping - and sixth hour has finished the analysis of 116 and will gallop another day!
