Clips of different types
In this page, I'm testing out different types of video clips and event comparisons.
Starting with a single audio clip (0-30 seconds)
Elizabeth Bishop reading her poem, "The Moose"
Elizabeth Bishop read this poem at the Remembering Robert Lowell event in 1978.
Annotations
This is a single video clip (30-45 seconds)
Elizabeth Bishop reads "Filling Station" v1
Bishop reading "Filling Station"
Annotations
00:00:00 - 00:00:04
Punctuation used like musical notation -- an exclamation and then a rest
00:00:02 - 00:00:08
Oh, but it is dirty!
—this little filling station,
oil-soaked, oil-permeated
00:00:08 - 00:00:14
to a disturbing, over-all
black translucency.
Be careful with that match!
00:01:18 - 00:01:23
Somebody waters the plant,
or oils it, maybe.
00:01:25 - 00:01:32
so that they softly say:
esso—so—so—so
