Edith Sitwell
As for the usefulness of #poetry, its uses are many. It is the deification of reality. It should make our days holy to us. The #poet should speak to all men, for a moment, of that other life of theirs that they have smothered and forgotten.

La Poète avant-gardiste Edith Sitwell, interprétée par Lia Williams dans Les Carnets de Siegfried de Terence Davies
Portrait de la poète avant-gardiste Edith Sitwell par Roger Fry, un artiste du groupe de Bloomsbury (1915) (Source : Wikipedia)
Le clan des artistes Sitwell : Edith et, de gauche à droite, ses frères Osbert et Sacheverell, puis le compositeur de la musique de Façade, William Walton, et, avec le porte-voix utilisé par Edith quand elle déclamait ses poèmes, Neil Porter, un acteur de l'Old Vic (Source : Wikipedia)
Un enregistrement moderne de Façade de William Walton où les poèmes sont déclamés par Edith Sitwell et Peter Pears
.
En revanche, la poète avant-gardiste #EdithSitwell est présente dans Les Carnets de Siegfried
Davies ne montre pas qu'elle était tombée amoureuse de Sassoon
Mais on la voit déclamer ses poèmes de "Façade" avec un porte-voix (image introuvable)
Accompagnée par la musique de William #Walton

"Winter is the time for comfort, for good food and warmth, for the touch of a friendly hand and for a talk beside the fire: it is time for home."
