Huzzah! We've made it! I'm sorry this took a while to post, but here is a reading of the complete text of William Wordsworth's "Ode: Intimations of Immortality from Recollections of Early Childhood."

I recorded this at various stops on a hike up along the Deer Creek - Dry Creek trail in the Lone Peak Wilderness. It's a spectacular area and a great hike -- until I reached the water flowing under a snow field and didn't want to risk a crossing. It was visibly hollow underneath and I didn't want to fall into the icy running water. Good thing I wasn't peak bagging, so it was easy to just turn and head back to the car.

I'll be returning to some shorter, stand-alone poems for a while before embarking on a long poem like this again. I do hope it was worth it, however. I'd be delighted if you let me know what you think.
