"Charge of the Light Brigade"

Today I heard a poem by Alfred Lord Tennyson, titled “The Charge of the Light Brigade”, about the Battle of Balaclava in 1854. It was recorded in the late 1800’s. It is a fascinating poem, what you could hear of it, but very creepy. The recording is very crackly and sounds like something out of a horror movie, like hearing a dead man talking from his grave. It can be found on the internet and I recommend giving it a listen for the plain creepiness, and for the poem itself.
