Mariana and My Fair Lady

As I read the opening lines from "Mariana" by Tennyson I realized I recognized it from the movie "My Fair Lady." For those of you not familiar with that movie (which is pretty old) it's a musical adaptation of Bernard Shaw's play "Pygmalion," which centers around a Cockney girl taking speaking lessons from an upper class British professor of Phonetics. Here's a clip of the movie with the intro to the poem with the professor's interesting method of enhancing diction. The last second or two of the video starts with the next song in the movie, just to let you know. - Kathleen
