Lord Byron – Darkness Emotional Dark Recitation by Dimi De San

Hello my Spookies.

Today i have a special poem for you recited by me. “Darkness” is Lord Byron’s terrible tale of apocalypse and despair. In this narrative poem, a speaker dreams of a future in which the sun burns out and the whole world is left in darkness. Panicking, the survivors of this catastrophe gradually destroy all remaining life in their efforts to survive. Humanity, this poem suggests, is at the mercy of a vast and uncaring universe—and its own dark, selfish, violent impulses. This poem first appeared in Byron’s 1816 collection The Prisoner of Chillon.
