[sonofwalt]

wow. seriously. wow.

[shewolfalpha]

makes you just want to put your ear to his chest while he recites

[jerichocrost]

His lips... Hmm... So kissable.

[montmorency8050]

What is this from??

[birdalone0]

[HalooftheMuse]

Read with the equal of Yeats' great poem... a diaphanous, yet, sonorous gem!!!  5***** thanks to LittleBookNook...

[LadyMinstrelsBallad]

His voice!

[electricsugarcube]

OH MY FING GOD

[soso104]

Pride and Prejudice.. *sigh* the first time i watched it, i rewatched it 10 times in the same week.

[hannahmona]

Mr. Darcy.

[anamcara21]

Will not one of you see that this is the voice of William Butler Yeats? Is it not his words you feel stirring in your soul?

[jamzrox1991]

I could listen to his voice forever. Seriously, I'm not being fan girl-ish. It's just one of the most fucking pleasant sounds on this earth.

[patiently88]

it's true...very soothing and musical. There's only one actor who I can remember sounding similar but can't remember his name. That guy was in "Amadeus" and play one of the opera singer (tenor) in the magic flute.

I am going to look for the original poem by Pierre de Ronsard, "Quand vous serez vieille".

[ParArdua]

My two loves - poetry and Macfadyen.

Just a shame the sound of the fire went on throughout.

Poetry stands alone.

[lizzy6791]

You can NEVER watch P&P too often, can you? :D I can't even count the times I've watched it^^

[AkiraChan24]

Same here. He's half the fun of it (ah, heck, he's ALL the fun in it :D)

[slboerum]

I just saw it (and him!) for the first time the other night and look forward to many, many more encounters.............. =^.~=

[lizzy6791]

He's got a wonderful voice. I loved him in Pride and Prejudice and I know all the dialogues by heart :D

Too bad that he doesn't do narrating for German documentations. It would be a pleasure...

[Dundee84]

I too know all the dialogues by heart...lol thats what watching to much PnP does to you.

[sapphireglow03]

Aaahhh such passion, such profoundness, such emotion in his voice and the look in his eyes!! I had to mentally slap myself there to come back to reality, haha!

[TanzNandl]

He has an incredible voice. So deep, so steady. Amazing.

i could listen to him for hours!!!

and I love his eyebrows. they are so expressive, as are his eyes!!!

:-)

Have you seen him in "Pride and Prejudice"? Makes my heart melting!

(sorry if i have a few mistakes, I'm from Austria. :-))

[nadinebotti]

And loved the sorrows of your changing face" ... I'm in ecstasy !
