Andy Serkis (aka Gollum) Playing Screwtape


One of the real successes of the Lord of the
Rings movies was Andy Serkis vocalisation
of Gollum. Here he is again, in an audio
drama of C.S. Lewis' book "The Screwtape
Letters". Just click on the title above...
.
Don't think, "Oh, just another ruination
of Lewis' work", this has to be seen.
(Including comments from Douglas Gresham).
Quite breathtaking.

With many thanks to Roger @ The Inklings
for writing this post.
Oh, yea, Click The Title!

The Leaves They Fall

Early Autumn FoliageImage by Professor Bop via Flickr

Leaves of brown they fall to the ground
And it's here, over there leaves around
Shut the door, dim the lights and relax
What is more, your desire or the facts

Pitter patter the rain falling down
Little glamor sun coming round
Take a walk when autumn comes to town

Little stroll past the house on the hill
Some more coal on the fire will do well
And in a week or two it'll be Halloween
Set the page and the stage for the scene

Little game the children will play
And as we watch them while time away
Look at me and take my breath away yeah

You'll be smiling eyes beguilding
And the song on the breeze
Will call my name out and your dream

Chestnuts roasting outside as you walk
With your love by your side
The old accordion man plays mellow and bright
And you go home in the crispness of the night

Little later friends will be along
And if you feel like joining the throng
Just might feel like singing Autumn song
Just may feel like singing Autumn song

You'll be smiling
Eyes beguilding
And the song on the breeze
Calls my name out in your dream

Chestnuts roasting outside
As you walk with your love by your side
And the old accordion plays mellow and bright
And you go home in the crispness of the night
