My Thoughts
Today I read a post by Daniel MacKillican called When Three Became Two – Video Version, and his post inspired me to make this post as part of my continuing efforts to diversify the content on my blog; so thank you, Daniel MacKillican for the inspiration.
A couple of years ago I was on SoundCloud listening to a dream mix or something like that (unfortunately it is gone now) which someone made using a combination of songs & scenes from several films involving dreams.
During that dream mix, I accidentally found some audio of the actress Tilda Swinton reading a poem for a promotional campaign for a new perfume called Like This by Etat libre d’Orange.
Tilda Swinton read a poem called Like This from the book The Essential Rumi by Jalaluddin Rumi (Jalāl ad-Dīn Muhammad Rūmī) (Rumi) and translated by Coleman Barks.
I like Mrs. Swinton’s voice and accent, so it was nice to be able to hear her read something, especially something unexpected like poetry, and especially a poem that I had never heard of before.
I think that Mrs. Swinton should do more voice work.
The end,
