1 rich Libsyn https://www.libsyn.com 90 600 In this 19th season of the Well Read Poem, the principal theme of the six poems selected is that of Death. We selected these poems to provide a variety of imaginative treatments of what Henry James called &quot;The Distinguished Thing&quot;, drawing on the writings of poets of different centuries, cultures and perspectives. We hope they are enjoyable, illuminating, and not so dismal as to discolor anyone's summer. Today's selection is &quot;Ecclesiates 12&quot; from the King James Version of the Bible. Readings begin at timestamps 5:08 and 8:55. To learn more about this podcast and host Thomas Banks, visit&amp;nbsp;https://www.theliterary.life/the-well-read-poem/.
