Loading...
Uploaded by bascule011 on Jun 14, 2010
Film about two friends (Anthony Hopkins & Anne Bancroft) who had never met, based on Helene Hanff's book. For the true booklovers.
He Wishes For The Cloths Of Heaven, William Butler Yeats
"Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half-light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams."

@joesoap81 Well stranger,'He Wishes for the Clothes of Heaven',he is speaking directly to Maud Gonne in this poem,the woman he had his pathetic infatuation with for so many years.And tells her that if he had the sky and heavens above,he would lay them at her feet.
Hopkins reads it pretty well,better than Yeats himself.

I knew Hopkins Mother was Yeats but I didnt know they were relatives?
Im writing this 4 miles from Yeats grave in Sligo btw.

Unless it's my computer this clip sounds sluggish and slowed down, so Hopkins voice is deeper than it should be. His voice and phrasing are actually even more beauiful

I love how he reads one of the poems from his own distant relative, William Yeats. How appropriate and how beautiful.

This film is beautiful - this story is beautiful - this poem is beautiful and Anthony Hopkins voice adds to this extraordinary moment.
