the voices of the dead are caught in a musical order of words and come alive each time we repeat a line of verse. The past mingles with the present to create a new voice, a new meaning.In this poem, Herrick is bewitched by the voice of a woman as she sings in her room, and we, in turn, are bewitched too.
from Christopher Nield: The Epoch Times: The Antidote--Classic Poetry for Modern Life: A Reading of 'Upon Julia's Voice' by Robert Herrick
