I have listened to many readings of Eliot's famous poem, but this is one of the finest I have heard - there is an intensity, a depth of feeling here that so many other readings have lacked.

[AntiConniff]

Thank you, Dr. Habib from a fellow admirer of T.S. Eliot's poetry.

Poetry indeed is offered its due respect when recited by memory! 8:04 minutes of your quiet voice and half-closed eyes is quite perfect. The reading style made it so easy to follow the poem since it's easy to get lost in the yellow fog of this one. Thanks to you!

Listening to you I said to myself, I can't believe this is free. Thanks for this great video and may God bless you! You so better than my teacher.

[StLennyBruce]

Oh, this is wonderful.

[greatbookie]

I could picture playing a recording of this to a child,

and when they grow up, they realise:

"Is that what that poem meant? ...Michaelangelo?"

[headyo]

Dr. Habib...could you come over and tell me a bedtime story? I want to fall asleep to your voice.

[mhabib3]

That must be why my students fall asleep in my lectures!

[headyo]

No. His voice doesn't cause me to fall asleep; I want to be falling asleep and hear it washing over me as I go.

[mhabib3]

I was only joking. Thank you for your kind comments. If I ever make a CD of my poetry, I'll send it to you. Best wishes, from Rafey Habib.

[headyo]

Oh! I would love that!

[Madamluna]

@mhabib3 Listening to you recite this helped me focus on my homework! Thank you!

[mattttch]

One of the better readings I've heard. Thank you.

[wolfshipon]

Brilliant. Thank you.

[BalanceecnalaB]

May if forever be your right to write and say "that isnt what I meant at all"

[BalanceecnalaB]

It would have been worth it after all I believe

[BalanceecnalaB]

I remember first hearing this poem when I was 14 at CHS. I loved it and I still do!
