The Past

LibriVox volunteers bring you 21 recordings of The Past by Ella Wheeler Wilcox. This was the Weekly Poetry project for February 20, 2011.

Ella Wheeler Wilcox was an American author and poet. Her best-known work was Poems of Passion. Her most enduring work was "Solitude", which contains the lines: "Laugh, and the world laughs with you; Weep, and you weep alone". Her autobiography, The Worlds and I, was published in 1918, a year before her death. (summary by Wikipedia)
