"Listening to the BBC radio series narrated by Julie Andrews - which is really entertaining and worth a listen, but you do have to put up with music and sound effects. Quite disappointing if you’re expecting an audiobook, but understandable for the episodic radio format.
Andrews does, however, serve as a really engaging narrator; her intonation brings the text to life wonderfully." — Nov 25, 2025 09:20AM

"I’m really enjoying this! I thought it would be more of a slog than it is.
I think there’s some beautiful turns of phrase and Virgil’s imagery is truly palpable in places. It suits the more casual read that I’m doing.
I’m enjoying the translation of this edition, but wish the cover was nicer - but that is on brand for Wordsworth Classics." — Nov 25, 2025 09:15AM

“Light is the left hand of darkness
and darkness the right hand of light.
Two are one, life and death, lying
together like lovers in kemmer,
like hands joined together,
like the end and the way.”
