| | |  Daniel Radcliffe narrates Shakespearean sonnet
The Poetry Archive, to celebrate Valentine's Day, have compiled a selection of poems, one of which, Sonnet 130, by William Shakespeare, is narrated by Daniel Radcliffe. The poems can be sent via mobile phones as a Valentine. Stephen Fry (UK audiobook narrater), Alan Rickman (Snape) and Kenneth Branagh (Lockhart) have also participated in the project. A full list of the poems (and their readers) available can be found here. Quote:
My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun;
Coral is far more red, than her lips red:
If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun;
If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head.
I have seen roses damask'd, red and white,
But no such roses see I in her cheeks;
And in some perfumes is there more delight
Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks.
I love to hear her speak, yet well I know
That music hath a far more pleasing sound:
I grant I never saw a goddess go,—
My mistress, when she walks, treads on the ground:
And yet by heaven, I think my love as rare,
As any she belied with false compare.
The recordings will be released next week.

I like idea that DR is doing Shakespeare but I'm not sure if I'd want a guy sending me Sonnet 130 for Valentine's day.

Aw!  I want one! And Sonnet 130 is my favourite Shakespearean sonnet! Well, one of my favourite. And the other poems are really, really sweet! That'll be a really sweet valentine!

Wow, I love this! Go Daniel! And all others participating, of course!
I chose Sonnet 130 for a poetry competition at my school, along with Sonnet 116. They are really a couple of amazing poems!

But yay Dan! xD
