Austin Phrasis Quintet 1 Recited

PHRASIS V1 How different the voice,the tone this tendency,sceptical despondency only too plain.Wild hopes,extravagant impatience,decided preference made manifest,turns aside from the world and thinks pity,pathos and pious resignation.Privileged invalids,such moping minstrels,utterly unhappy ‘cradle to grave’ see only their superior sighs.A wave of disillusion,of doubt, misgiving in abstract wisdom permeat every utterance and infiltrates every stratum of thought ,in this sorrow of genius. From Alfred Austin- The Bridling of Pegasus Listen to me recite this phrasis on youtube under my pen name ichthyschiro
