Words and Music - Enemies

Logo for Words and Music - Enemies

One enemy can do more hurt than ten friends can do good. So said Jonathan Swift, and this week's Words and Music takes a closer look at what we have to fear from those who wish us harm. Struan Rodger and Siobhan Redmond read work by William Blake, Dorothy Parker, Charles Baudelaire, Penelope Shuttle and Naomi Shihab Nye, with music from Mozart, Handel, Berlioz and Shirley Bassey.
