Those interested in Morgan will be intrigued to learn that Margaret Rawlings, star of The Flashing Stream and much beloved of its author, made a recording of selected poems of Gerard Manley Hopkins which is still available in the iTunes store, in Europe for less than 10 Euros. Hearing voices from the past is always fascinating, and when they are those in whom we are interested the wonder is doubled. MR had a good voice, even though she doesn't sound as if she had really grasped Hopkins' sprung rhythms. But it's a lovely reading nonetheless.
