Description

This is a poetry reading of Richard Cory (by Edwin Arlington Robinson). I am an educator and I use this to help my students create an understanding tone. The speaker has to imply a tone of both jealousy and admiration and must also develop the author's intended sense of irony.

Richard Cory by Edwin Arlington Robinson. Whenever Richard Cory went downtown, we people on the pavement looked at him. He was a gentleman from Seoul to Crown Clean, favored an imperially slim, and he was always quietly arrayed, and he was always human when he talked. But still he fluttered pulses when he said good morning. And he glittered when he walked. He was rich, yes, richer than a king, an admirably schooled in every grace in fine. We thought that he was everything to make us wish that we were in his place. So on. We worked and waited for the light, and we went without the meat and curse the bread and richard cory. One calm summer night went home and put a bullet through his head.
