Strap into your hiking boots purple people! In this episode, we’re going to climb to new linguistic heights and explore the world of climbing.

Enjoy Susie’s Trio for the week: 

 

Helluo Liborium: An obsessive and insatiable bookworm


Lectory: A reading place


Tsundoku: Refers to the phenomenon of acquiring reading materials but letting them pile up in one's home without reading them.

 

 

Gyles' poem this week was ‘The Mountain’ by Emily Dickinson:

 

The mountain sat upon the plain

In his eternal chair,

His observation omnifold,

His inquest everywhere.


The seasons prayed around his knees,

Like children round a sire:

Grandfather of the days is he,

Of dawn the ancestor.


 

A Somethin’ Else & Sony Music Entertainment production.
