Program on Emily Dickinson featuring her poetry read by Miriam Ostroff:Before I got my eye put out --The robin's my criterion for tune --Faith is a fine invention --Drowning is not so pitiful --Who has not found the heaven below --Some keep the Sabbath going to church --I measure every grief I meet --The heart asks pleasure first --They say that time assuages --Much madness is divinest sense --We never know how high we are --I'm nobody. Who are you? --Success is counted sweetest --Glory is that bright tragic thing --A little madness in the spring --This quiet dust was gentlemen and ladies --One dignity delays for all --I died for beauty, but was scarce --Because I could not stop for death --Safe in the alabaster chambers. --Program on love poetry:An immortality /Ezra Pound, read by Miriam Ostroff --I cannot live with you /Emily Dickinson, read by Miriam Ostroff --Meeting and passing /Robert Frost, read by Robert Beloof --The equilibrist /John Crowe Ransom, read by Anthony Ostroff --The stranger /Jean Garrigue, read by Anthony Ostroff --Yes is a pleasant country /e.e. cummings, read by Beloof.
