T. S. Eliot: The Hollow Men

[surf7lakemich1]

Astonishing!

[surf7lakemich1]

This is a profound combination of music and poetry. I am deeply moved by the words and the music is precisely in sync with the poem. Don't change a thing!

[Senteinal117]

"This is the way the world ends" was quoted by cortana in a halo 3 trailer

[jastaiti]

@Senteinal117 This video is great, and I have always loved the poem. What are the Halo movies about? And where may I find them?

I am just getting into the works of Eliot and would like to get tips on other masters of the english language. Who are the considered masters of the word in brittain? Shakespeare is obvious I guess but Id appreciate more tips, thanks.

[toReasonWhy]

Eliot is British-American, lived in America until 24. Anyway, usually they categorize them more broadly than Britain, into "Anglo" writers or even just "English language" writers, and Yeats is virtually always mentioned. Another Brit of unquestionably giant stature was W.H. Auden.

As for Anglo/English stuff in general, James Joyce and Samuel Beckett must be consulted if literature is to be consulted at all.

Earlier British poets of genius: Tennyson, Blake, Keats... long list, really.

[davidHasselhoff]

Beckett and Joyce were English??????????

[HufflepuffTheGreat]

@davidHasselhoff Joyce was Irish. Dunno about Beckett that much but I think he was British. If you're talking about the authors, I mean.

[Qdammit]

I highly reccomend John Dunne!

[UndrivenSnow]

Try Virginia Woolf

[thisandmatt87]

1:57 perfect audio, picture and quote match

[claitontesch]

[ZachTFLd]

This poem get too much credit, it ain't that good.

[AMPDTcyber]

for me, one of the best poems ever written

and I've red a lot of poetry

[rgandy23]

what about the wasteland?

[LizMapuga]

Can someone make a better combination? Love this T.S. Elliot poem, and I find this version whit the Pink Floyd songs behind, really make you want to fall in tears.

[JYMILO]

awesome idea Liz!!!

[Iluvatar900]

Yes, i love this poem,

nicely done.

[captainzilog]

and the hollow men was published (at some stage) with an epitaph to Conrad's work - 'Mr Kurtz, he dead'

[yoshilover4]

i think this also has a lot to do with guy fawkes....

[chrono144]

well, the epigraph would make one think so; "A penny for the Old Guy"

[Molokai17]

wasn't this poem read by the Kurtz character portrayed by Brando in APOCOLYPSE NOW...?

[cpglerum]

very nice work.
