Magnificent poem and so well delivered. What is it about the English that makes their delivery so compelling?

An amazing poem beautifully read...you could found a philosophy or a religion on something as deep and well expressed as this...but who needs either when you have a poetic heritage as profound as this?

Many thanks...and I agree about our poetic heritage. Chas.

A beautiful reading of a poem that children on both sides of the Atlantic no longer are taught. It has an incantatory quality that Charles brings out by close attention to the word music but without going overboard.
There's some Manley Hopkins sonnets out there he should get his voice around.

Many thanks. I have done 'The Habit of Perfection'. But will certainly attempt the great sonnets. Charles.
