The Troubadour in Wuthering Heights

The Henley Standard has an article on musician Gordon Giltrap, taking a look back at his career:

In 1996, Gordon realised a dream of playing guitar alongside Cliff Richard, on stage in Cliff’s West End musical Heathcliff. As well as performing in the role of The Troubadour, Gordon arranged the overture and wrote two pieces of music.

And on a more serious note, the Daily Times (Pakistan) pays a tribute to Benazir Bhutto including a fragment of a poem by Anne Brontë:

When I think of her I am totally lost and poet Anne Bronte’s following lines – to some extent – represent my present state of mind.
Oh, I am very weary,
Though tears no longer flow:
My eyes are tired of weeping,
My heart is sick of woe. (Wajid Shamsul Hasan)

You can read the complete poem here.
