Here’s a great video of Simon & Garfunkel performing their version of Edwin Arlington Robinson’s most-anthologized poem, “Richard Cory.” I find it impossible to teach this masterpiece of a poem without using this song as scaffolding. About all I know of this live performance is that it was in 1966.

I’ve loved that song ever since I was a little child. (A strange little child.) Here’s a whole ton of people reading Richard Cory:
