Project Mnemosyne is an experiment named in honor of the personification of memory in Greek mythology. Mnemosyne was the mother of the nine muses, and we'll see where the muses lead.

I'm trying to learn these by heart, and figured the best way to do this would be to have a recording of myself reciting the poem that I could put on repeat.
