Mostly it was a recitation of the poem that included dramatic pantomime, ridiculous voices (my raven voice rocked), and long pauses for comedic effect. During "while I nodded, nearly napping" I pretended to fall asleep for a moment. Stuff like that, it was great fun! :) On another note, I voted for PRevo on that 100 blogs, 100 days thing, and you got day 2. For what that's worth, congrats. :) Gotta spread the graphite gospel! My blog name is an obscure reference to Rimbaud, so it's cool that you dig him. Can't get too much Rimbaud. I did a pretty good translation of "The Drunken Boat" if you ever wanna check it out.

But Rimbaud has the nice dirty comedy and some pretty little diddies for the kiddies. A comedic retelling of "The Raven"? Now <I>that</I> would be really cool. What was the angle like? :) Very true, Bava. But Rimbaud has the nice dirty comedy and some pretty little diddies for the kiddies.

"They will no more kill you than if you were a corpse" isn't exactly airy reading. I didn't hit Baudelaire or Rimbaud until college, though I definately overindulged in Poe as a "tween". I once acted out a comedic retelling of The Raven for a drama audition. Good stuff. I’m curious that you’d recommend the “sad little dudes” shy away from Poe and Baudelaire, but indulge in Rimbaud.
