Fantastic stuff this is how poetry should be read with a passion.I hope you will do many more English poets. Congrats on this video as well the idea works well.I could stand qiute a few more poems read by you by candlelight in this manner.Thanks for all your effort I have thumbs upped this and several of your other vids an d put this one in my favourites and subscribed.
@poetryreincarnations Thank you very much! It's really encouraging to hear that you enjoyed this, and to receive the "thumbs up". I will be recording more Clare poems soon, because I will be teaching them at school, and I use these videos in lessons. Do have a look, if you get time, at my much larger YouTube page of my own poems (which also contains my paraphrases of mediaeval Welsh poetry): GilesConradWatson. I'd be interested to see what you think...
This is a passionate and illuminating reading. I like the emphasis on the theological I AM and the evolution of that term in Clare as you mention. Thanks also for the moving biography info on Clare which I found deeply affecting.
Well recited. I like. :)
