The actual poem is 96 lines long. This guy read 4 of those lines, perhaps the "moral of the story" part. The poem's story is about an Afghan thief who steals a horse from an English colonel. The colonel's son chases down the thief, and the two fight. Each has the capacity to utterly destroy the other. Each is impressed with that capacity in the other, and with the will by which this destructive capacity is restrained. The two make an interesting exchange and a pact.

It's actually a long poem, and this is a small fragment. Overdone with all the music and lighting and stage props.

I know nothing of the UBS or of the genesis of these brief videos by Paul Scofield et al, but the Bank has rendered a service to posterity in making them.

There have been a widely known difference between East and West along History since the Medic Wars between Greeks and Persians, 2500 years ago. Since then, East is East and West is West, and nothing ever done has been able to change that.
But, when it comes to people, to individuals, it doesn't matter East or West, because we're all men and we feel the same, crave for the same and fight for the same.
That's the meaning I get from it.
