Lovely

Why did you steal the ending? It’s only yours.

It has to be recited in British English.

😊👏👏👏👏👏👍

"Bite me alien boi!"

Wow, what a great piece. I feel your reading really nailed the tone of the writing. What a pleasure this was to view

Beautiful. Thank you, for providing the lyrics too.

At this moment in 2024 I have made 74 circuits around the sun. Mr. Arnold crushes this chapter of the human condition.

Gracias

*Para Leer En Forma Interrogativa **_(Julio Cortázar)_* *Pablo Neruda* affermò davanti al *segretario comunale di Poggiodomo* e alla presenza di 4 testimoni in atto notorio non sostituito da complicatissimi discernimenti di semplificazioni documentali: _«Chi non legge Cortázar è spacciato. Non leggerlo è una malattia molto seria e invisibile, che col tempo può avere conseguenze terribili»_ A questa dichiarazione non vi furono sussulti ma uno dei *4 testimoni* si grattó un orecchio ed il segretario chiese di sottoscrivere in calce con firma ben estesa. Al che *Neruda*, che era anche ambasciatore cileno, chiese a tutti: _"E vi va bene così?"_ Il *segretario, dott. Perugini,* spiegó: _"Io annoto, ricevo, estendo, mi accerto di chi parla ma di quello che dice io non sono tenuto e quindi mi astengo da valutazioni di merito"_ I testimoni diciamo che erano d'accordo tutto sommato però anche un altro si grattó ma questa volta il naso. E allora Neruda... _"... e allora io vi leggo una poesia di _*_Julio Florencio Cortázar_*_ nato a Ixelles il 26 agosto 1914, argentino ma naturalizzato francese ..... *Para Leer En Forma Interrogativa*..."_ Il segretario comunale _"Devo rispondere?"_ _"No, segretario. È il titolo della poesia"_ chiarí Neruda . *Para Leer En Forma Interrogativa... Per leggere in forma interrogativa* Hai visto, veramente hai visto la neve, gli astri, i passi felpati della brezza.., Hai toccato, davvero hai toccato il piatto, il pane, la faccia di questa donna che tanto ami... Hai vissuto come un colpo in fronte, l'istante, l'affanno, la caduta, la fuga... Hai saputo con ogni poro della pelle, saputo che i tuoi occhi, le tue mani, il tuo sesso, il tuo blando cuore, bisognava buttarli via bisogna piabgerli bisognava inventarli di nuovo *Una mosca non voló quel pomeriggio a Poggiodomo* *Vincenzo Russo Traetto*

as Bette Davis said more prosaically: "Old age ain't for sissies"

beautifully recited but - why have you eliminated the last stanza...?

Very nice

Is that the first time he read it?!

Mesmerizing sonnet in mesmerizing voice

I barely survived unrequited love at age 14 because of this sonnet. 🙂

Beautiful. Thanks 👍

my favorite sonnet

Very beautiful, despite my ignorance in poetry...

Bellisimo ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

That was beautiful, and I don’t even speak Spanish.

I very much like this poem - and count Matthew Arnold as one of my favorite poets - (but you can't just simply omit the last enigmatic stanza). I used to like Tennyson's poem Ulysses - who had a very romantic idealized notion about growing old. But as I grow old myself I find Matthew Arnold's the truer poem.

,,Ты не меняешься с теченьем лет . Такой же ты была когда впервые тебя я встретил .Три зимы седые трех пышных лет запорошили след . Три нежные весны сменили цвет на сочный плод и листья огневые . И трижды лес был осенью раздет . А над тобой не властвуют стихии . На циферблате , указав нам час , покинув цифры стрелка золотая чуть движется , невидима для глаз .Так на тебе я лет не замечаю . И если уж закат необходим , онбыл перед рождением твоим .,, ( перевод С.Я. Маршака ? , точно не помню. ) From Russia with love. Got bless you .

A little circle of games between 3 powers... within or without? Or maybe another 'logic', way of seeing should be sought, allowed. ...then the ending... Just a thought.

Strange thing about poetry, reading it or hearing it... the first time through you get a sense... With a second reading, things that eluded you begin to come clear, crystalize, make more sense.... And so on. (While as a whole, so often, staying just beyond the edge of complete understanding.) - I found my way here after reading a review of FT's first book, in an old 1974 volume of Poetry.

Thank you so much for this beautiful and realistic poetry. I have used it in my kindergarten show, where kids were dressed up and acting as old people, and this poetry was playing in the background.

A very good evening sir just could you help me out with atleast three poems which compliment each other and during the elocution few props can be taken up to make them look fancy .The poems I selected are The Walrus and the carpenter ,The blind man and the elephant and Middlesome Matty. Ma'am really need ur help kindly suggest more according to you which compliment each other. Regards Jade

'about the tumultuous swings between dejection and exultation that love produces'. Hopefully things settle down eventually.

mistress' and lips' , not mistress's and lips's. Sorry to note, but I think it's important...

First comment 😅

When I do count the clock that tells the time, And see the brave day sunk in hideous night; When I behold the violet past prime, And sable curls all silver’d o’er with white; When lofty trees I see barren of leaves Which erst from heat did canopy the herd, And summer’s green all girded up in sheaves Borne on the bier with white and bristly beard, Then of thy beauty do I question make, That thou among the wastes of time must go, Since sweets and beauties do themselves forsake And die as fast as they see others grow; And nothing ‘gainst Time’s scythe can make defence Save breed, to brave him when he takes thee hence.

Great and deeply sincere.

Your videos are deeply inspiring to me , The way you married poetry and film so clearly and distinctly is impressive, something I’ve never seen before. I have held this video in my heart for the past few days, teary-eyed, and it is one of the most moving and tender forms of art I have encountered in a while. I hope your channel really grows and that it’s messages spread far and wide ✨✨

That was great man! Thanks for sharing this.

Beautiful!

a powerful indictment

Maybe the best one I've heard today and I like it with American accent

Your poem reminds me of a poem by poet Bert Meyers (d. 1979) titled, "Stars Climb Girders of Light." It's the last poem in his book, "The Dark Birds." A fine poem, Dana. I like the use of music used to augment the reading of the the poem. Thanks for posting the video.

So very necessary. Thank you.

My reading. ua-cam.com/video/9HhWXENzhKM/v-deo.html

This poem belongs in the pantheon of great works of literature. It is one of the most vivid encapsulations of the nature of our fleeting existence and ihe underlying struggle between mundanity and transcendence.

Que bonito que lo hubieran hecho en español como el de Julio Cortazar

It is to become wise.

that end, damn

A great poet who died too soon.

My favorite poem <3 clever concept and brilliant delivery!

I want a day like that. Lovely. May I ask what fountain pen you were using? Do you have a favorite?

Here is my version: ua-cam.com/video/8W3EZZhmIzw/v-deo.html

I’m 65 in 125 days from today 🎉😮⏳⏱ And at the moment I am OK with this. We will see what the future brings…❤

Beautiful sir
