Norwegian singer and song-writer
Eldbjørg Raknes reads a well-known poem by Emily Brontë: Spellbound, while her jazz band accompanies her.
The night is darkening round me,
The wild winds coldly blow;
But a tyrant spell has bound me
And I cannot, cannot go.
The giant trees are bending
Their bare boughs weighed with snow.
And the storm is fast descending,
And yet I cannot go.
Clouds beyond clouds above me,
Wastes beyond wastes below;
But nothing drear can move me;
I will not, cannot go.
The album, I Live Suddenly, includes several other poems by famous poets worldwide, as
All About Jazz reports.
The reading of Emily Jane Brontë's “Spellbound” suggests a declaration of feminine independence. (Eyal Hareuveni)
It seems truly amazing.
