Helen was probably one of the few people to hear it the way Beethoven likely did.... what a wonderful letter

Beethoven... I feel so fortunate to be able to listen to his music. But it's clear to me that his music can touch anyone who has a heart. I love his music! Beautiful letter! ❤

I remember seeing _The Miracle Worker,_ which showed on television when I was a little girl, and I was absolutely filled with awe and amazement at her indubitable spirit. I even learned the finger alphabet because of her and remember it now, more than 50 years later.

I listened a second time to the letter but this time with my eyes closed. Beautiful. 💜 When she first placed her hands "on the receiver" I smiled because for several decades ever since my first stereo at 16 whenever I was mad or upset, or just feeling out of sorts, I would crank up the volume of whatever I needed to listen to, I would place each hand on a speaker and let the vibration flow into my body. It's like I absorb the music. It's so therapeutic. Hearing with my eyes closed the poetry and passion of her words describing how I FEEL the music was a real treat 💜💜💜

Again, Gillian reads beautifully of a woman who didn't experience the world as most of us get to do, but managed to tell us so much in so little time! Thank you!

What a beautiful rendition of insight from someone who could neither hear or speak but could feel and express the joy she felt while "listening" with her other senses. Brava!

This occured after Hellen Keller returned from London where she also met the London Symphony in rehearsal at Royal Albert Hall. To a person, each musician stayed late without guild remuneration so that Ms. Keller could touch and feel and interact with the musicians, she wrote extensively about it and after getting home she sought out the New York Philharmonic which had already heard of the London orchestra's visit.

There is a movie called “Gas Food Lodging” in which a deaf woman dances to a record through the vibrations of a speaker put face down on a wooden floor... I can only imagine what Ms. Keller felt... 🔊

Keller never skimped on the cliches and the superlatives. Nor her analogies and metaphors. And heck: who cares!? Everything she wrote (and, it seems, everything she experienced and felt inside) was turned up to 11. I have seen video of a short speech she gave at a school when visiting Australia. There you can see and hear (if you are so lucky) her very soul on fire. The irony: For one into whom very little could enter via the common pathways we enjoy, so so much came back out of Keller. Extraordinary by any measure! She wrote, elsewhere, of a time when she was trapped up a tree during a thunder storm. I used this in my writing classes as a way of noticing how powerful writing can become when we express all the other dynamics in life: vibration, heat, texture, rain in your face, the whipping of wet hair, muscle tension, fear and the throb of all emotions. Everything she wrote was tactile. Kinesthetic. And here it is again in this letter.

That Margarette Mead reading is from 2016 according to the video description at the Freemasons Hall, London. This video seems to be from the same event since she is dressed the same and has the same hairstyle. And I miss this pre-Netlfix Gillian Anderson so much.

Please continue with British actors. American actors are so flat by comparison. She's reading it, indicating that she isn't inhabiting the person or material.
