Lipreading: A poetic view
 
 
"What is it like on the road of life
To meet with a stranger who opens his mouth...
And speaks out a line at a rapid pace;
And you can't understand the look in his face
Because it is new and you're lost in the race?
You have to be deaf to understand"
 
Willard J Madsen
-The British Deaf News, Vol.9, no.8, April 1974
