LibriVox volunteers bring you 18 recordings of A Ballade of Suicide
by G. K. Chesterton. This was the Fortnightly Poetry project for
May 20, 2012.Gilbert Keith Chesterton was an English writer. He
published works on philosophy, ontology, poetry, plays, journalism,
public lectures and debates, literary and art criticism, biography,
Christian apologetics, and fiction, including fantasy and detective
fiction. Chesterton has been called the "prince of paradox". Time
magazine, in a review of a biography of Chesterton, observed of his
writing style: "Whenever possible Chesterton made his points with
popular sayings, proverbs, allegories—first carefully turning them
inside out." For example, Chesterton wrote "Thieves respect
property. They merely wish the property to become their property
that they may more perfectly respect it." (Summary by Wikipedia )
