Dream Song 4: Audio

And look at that, would you? I have a file of Berryman reading his poem, as well.

His intonation is strange. He makes questions of several of the lines where the punctuation suggests direct statement. For example, Henry's imagined plea ("You are the hottest one for years of night / Henry's dazed eyes / have enjoyed, Brilliance."), sounds in his reading like it should be punctuated like this:

You are the hottest one for years of night
Henry's dazed eyes
have enjoyed, Brilliance?
