The introduction seems unnecessary as well - plainly if we found it and are listening to it we already know it's a podcast from Great Books. But I do like the poem. I'm also wondering - what's the art? Yeah - I have the same feeling, the music is really distracting.

As for this episode, I've never heard this poem before. It's a nice poem. I just wish there wasn't music playing during the reading of the poem, it makes it really hard to take in the poem. I'm in quite a few Literature classes, so I like to enjoy a poem as well as understand its structure. For me, it would be easier to understand and appreciate the nuances and rhyme scheme, as well as the imagery of the poem if the music wasn't playing during the reading. I suppose this might not be a problem for everyone, though. This is the first time I’ve listened to this podcast.
