Alan Rickman Sonnet 130 Recitation

Thank you. It's perfect.
I so like Shakespeare sonnets. And with Alan Rickman voice it's awesome.
^_^

It could be Private Lives. If it is, the woman's Lindsay Duncan.

Not at all. If you read the first 126, they are full of adoration for beauty, joyful and sad. But by sonnet 130 he has given up on his Fair Youth (the preposed object of the first 126 verses) and he knows how cold beauty can be.

The poem is so often done- read as part of the collection you get a whole new perspective. This isn't just satirising love poems of the time- this is challenging beauty.

The voice...oh god the voice... I can die happy now.

Why is he making all the mocking bits sound like he's trying to seduce someone? Shakespeare was taking the piss out of traditional love poetry, and the only romantic bit of the poem is at the end, when he says "I love her despite all the faults I have just listed".

@Ysaedda Because he voice is just naturally seductive.

@Ysaedda Because it's ironic, pretentious dummy.

Well please forgive me for misunderstanding then u__u" ... Disagreeing with me doesn't mean you automatically have to insult me.

Your ears have just been touched by the awesome voice of Alan Rickman.

Congratulations, you are all pregnant.

*sigh* if only =]

I like the saying: Alan Rickman can impregnate with just one touch.
