i knew that life was going to get better, and that i just had to be here to see it . . . another 20s something girl with a microphone talking at length about the life she stuck around to see, and all that she's learning (and unlearning) along the way. if you’re into stories from ten years ago, deep chats about everything, chats about nothing at all, and the occasional pop culture commentary—make yourself at home. i’m so happy you’re here🫶 insta: @htsi.pod Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/taylor-doyle22/support

The ballad is one of the oldest poetic forms in English and are simply poems or songs that tell a story. Maybe it’s because of childhood associations or that we all enjoy a cracking good story told in rhyme but as this volume demonstrates, the ballad has endless appeal. We include favourites such as Coleridge’s The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, Edna St. Vincent Millay’s The Ballad of the Harp Weaver, Edgar Allan Poe’s Annabel Lee as well as classics such as Sir Patrick Spens, the Ballad of Reading Gaol by Wilde and La Belle Dame Sans Merci by Keats.
