OMG

Look what I found: a website with videos of Helen lecturing on Yeats' "Among School Children": a total of 48 minutes which look (at first glance) to be similar to what we heard today:

1. Introduction to the Poem (3:15)

2. Three Greek Philosophers (6:00)

3. Yeats' Philosophical Thoughts (6:08)

4. Reading of Stanzas I through IV (9:23)

5. Reading of Stanzas V through VII (7:31)

6. Reading of Stanza VIII (12:51)

7. Conclusion (1:46)

8. Student's Comments on Professor Vendler (1:45)

Look homeward, angels

I find it useful to have someone who knows what the hell he's saying read Milton to me. So here is a link to someone doing just that:

It takes about ten minutes to hear the whole thing.

Cheers!!
