A rare recording taken from a live interview T. S. Eliot did for the BBC, broadcast during World War II. The original audio was pretty bad, but I cleaned it up as best I could. The thing that comes through most clearly is that nobody reads Eliot like Eliot.

  • Given TS Eliot's documented anti-semitism, I wonder why there is no line in this poem that questions traveling so far, simply to see a little Jew on the floor of a stable.

  • Bob, what a treasure! Thanks for the find and the fix.

  • today's the day for it!

  • A Christmas gift from the Great Poet himself! Poetry is indeed the music of the soul. Thank you so much for sharing this gift!

  • One of my favourite heroes of literature and faith reads one of the most profound moments of faith and literature.

  • i loved this poem back in the school days

  • @marmadukesymesparker lol. I think it has something to do with the method of recording.

  • Were you typing while you recorded it?

  • Thanks for posting, and thank you for working on the audio quality.

  • Thank you! I've been looking for his rendition of it... most of the vids here are other people reading the poem.
