Radio address for December 3rd, 2012. I went for a walk in the woods by the cabin on a moonlit night.

The poetry used in this radio address was a hand-selected little compilation of Acquainted With the Night by Robert Frost; an excerpt from a relatively little-known poem called The Planets by C.S. Lewis (who was recently given a posthumous spot in Westminster Abbey’s famous Poets’ Corner); and The Burning Babe by Robert Southwell, which he wrote in prison during the late 1500s.

Music is Dreams are Dangerous and Reunion from Coraline, Red Route 1 from Hunt for the Red October, and You Are the Pan from Hook.

I found out after writing this episode that on the night I finished it, Jupiter was crossing paths with the moon which was very full — a lovely coincidence. People took some amazing photos from that night — two of my favourites are shown here.
