| Literature Literature is literally an acquaintance with letters. The term has, however, generally come to identify a collection of texts. The word literature, as a common noun, can refer to any form of writing, such as essays; while Literature, the proper noun, refers to a whole body of literary work. |

Thanks for the links.
At the BBC site there is a recording of the Irish poet, W.B. Yeats. His accent reminds me of my grandmother and her siblings. The difference is he sounds deadly serious; I remember my grandmother usually laughing and joking with her brothers and sisters. BBC - BBC Four - Audio Interviews - William Butler Yeats |
