Some houses seem to hold on to the people who once lived in them.
In this episode of A Voice Like This, we leave the darker hauntings of Halloween behind and consider a gentler kind of ghost: the memories, familiar objects and quiet traces of those who came before us.
Through two poems by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow and Thomas Hardy, we explore the way the past remains part of the present, sometimes in the most ordinary things.
Featuring:
- Haunted Houses by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807–1882)
- Old Furniture by Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)
Read and presented by Phil Rowe.
A Voice Like This. Because good poetry is meant to be spoken.
