The greater part of Alfred, Lord Tennyson's melancholy poem 'The Lotus Eaters', which explores an episode from The Odyssey. The Choric Song is the part of the poem spoken by Ulysses' crew.

Read by Eric Portman and taken off an old vinyl LP.

This poem always makes me wonder if Odysseus did get off the island.
