The 74-year-old singer has created a new album of poetry and music with the help of Warren Ellis, and Marianne admitted her love of poetry dates back to her teenage years.<\/p>\n

She shared: “When I was 13 or 14, I bought myself a book, ‘Palgrave\u2019s Golden Treasury’, and that really turned me on to poetry, lots of different poetry.<\/p>\n

“And then there was my English teacher at the convent, Mrs Simpson. I was studying for my A Levels in the year before I got discovered. Very happy. Then I was discovered and never finished them, but I learnt a lot and it never left me, so I had this idea all my life, really, that I wanted to make the most beautiful poetry record with music.”<\/p>\n

‘She Walks In Beauty’ was a lyrical poem by Lord Byron and Marianne thinks that Byron’s work is “sublime”.<\/p>\n

She said: “It\u2019s very romantic, not like you imagine Byron to be. It\u2019s so beautiful, and that\u2019s why I like it. <\/p>\n

“I love the other side of Byron too, but this is really amazing, sublime. And I was very drawn to the ability to do really beautiful rhymes. I think that\u2019s from being a songwriter. It\u2019s incredibly nice. Not what I connect with Lord Byron at all.”<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Marianne previously suggested she may never sing again after battling coronavirus.<\/p>\n

The singer was hospitalised for three weeks with the virus in April and subsequently suggested she may never make a full recovery.<\/p>\n

She explained: “I may not be able to sing ever again. Maybe that\u2019s over. <\/p>\n

“I would be incredibly upset if that was the case, but, on the other hand, I am 74.<\/p>\n

“I don\u2019t feel cursed and I don\u2019t feel invincible. I just feel f****** human.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
