Bereavement. Homesickness. A first kiss. Experiences like these transcend our rational understanding of the world. In such moments, we need poetry. That's why we're excited to have paired contemporary and classical poems with award-winning animators to help us all better understand the most inexplicable parts of life. Today, we published six poems in our new series "There's a Poem for That". We hope you love these poems as much as we do! Check out the whole series here:bit.ly/TEDEdTheresAPoemForThat Let us know in the comments which poems you'd love to see animated as part of this series.
All the world’s a stage, And all the men and women merely players; They have their exits and their entrances; And one man in his time plays many parts, His acts being seven ages. At first the infant, Mewling and puking in the nurse’s arms; And then the whining school-boy, with his satchel And shining morning face, creeping like snail Unwillingly to school. And then the lover, Sighing like furnace, with a woeful ballad Made to his mistress’ eyebrow. Then a soldier, Full of strange oaths, and bearded like the pard, Jealous in honour, sudden and quick in quarrel, Seeking the bubble reputation Even in the cannon’s mouth. And then the justice, In fair round belly with good capon lin’d, With eyes severe and beard of formal cut, Full of wise saws and modern instances; And so he plays his part. The sixth age shifts Into the lean and slipper’d pantaloon, With spectacles on nose and pouch on side; His youthful hose, well sav’d, a world too wide For his shrunk shank; and his big manly voice, Turning again toward childish treble, pipes And whistles in his sound. Last scene of all, That ends this strange eventful history, Is second childishness and mere oblivion; Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything. By William Shakesspeare
Suggestions: Rime of the ancient Mariner - Samuel Taylor Coleridge Ozymandias - Percy Byshee Shelly Not marble nor the gilded monuments - William Shakespeare P. S. The animation for this video is incredible
The 'Rime of the Ancient Mariner' would be quite a long video but interesting.I was probably the only kid in my class who went online and read the entire poem.Also,are you a CBSE student?
Sans means without. The line describes how we lose everything in the sixth stage . We go on losing stuff like people, senses, memory and lastly our life. The way the line is written, it shows death in a harsh, moving yet beautiful way. That is my favorite line of the poem.
We had this part as a lesson in our first quarter in my 3rd year of high school. Now in the fourth and final quarter, I saw this... this carried an extremely different emotion and story when compared to how we tackled it in class. Amazing.
I must say that this reading, without trying to invoke some Shakespearean tone, made the poem much easier to ingest as well as comprehend and relate to! Thanks!
"All the world's a stage' is a monologue of Jaques from Shakespeare's play As You Like It, a five-act pastoral comedy (cherishing country life). The speaker talks about seven stages (from infancy to death) people go through as they age and different roles they play in each stage.
I have never seen a more beautiful animation. Who'd have thought one could make a harbor scene so poetic. Most profound of art just needs a sincere observation it seems.
The animation is simply brilliant! The way the image of the boats and the narration wove together to create the ideal mindscape for this poem! Brilliant!
That's the problem - it was too 'lovely', too 'nice'. Jacques is a crusty old cynic who is pointing out the futility of life and our delusion in believing we're free and independent spirits, when in fact we're just inhabiting predetermined roles.
Takes me back to my 2nd age where I learnt this poem for literature. In all the stages we live off through the reminiscences of the previous stage, and I suppose it shall not end.
I love this. But Shakespeare shined best when he wrote Shall I Compare Thee To A Summer's Day. To every guy out there, memorize this poem. Put on Bach's Prelude in C Minor. Slow dance with your girl. And lean down on her ear and recite Shall I Compare Thee To A Summer's Day in a whisper. That's how you tell a girl you actually love her.
One of the most memorable poems I've read so far, the opening and ending lines were so impactful. I remember doing this for school when I was 16 and the very first lines of the poem gave me such a different view on human roles. Still one of my top favourite poems along with Life by Charlotte Brontë
I just want to add that our program has an english course and this video's audio was used to ask graded assignments, and the subtitles were a great help for me, the poem itself is of great value to me as I read it in our grade 6 speaking class. (for anyone curious I am talking about the degree of BS in Data Science and Programming English Course May 2024 Week 1 Assignment, Wishing other's find this video before the deadline!!)
"You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. "here is an excerpt from desiderata desiderata by max ehrmann please!!
All the world's a stage, And all the men and women merely players; They have their exits and their entrances, And one man in his time plays many parts, His acts being seven ages. At first, the infant, Mewling and puking in the nurse's arms. Then the whining schoolboy, with his satchel And shining morning face, creeping like snail Unwillingly to school. And then the lover, Sighing like furnace, with a woeful ballad Made to his mistress' eyebrow. Then a soldier, Full of strange oaths and bearded like the pard, Jealous in honor, sudden and quick in quarrel, Seeking the bubble reputation Even in the cannon's mouth. And then the justice, In fair round belly with good capon lined, With eyes severe and beard of formal cut, Full of wise saws and modern instances; And so he plays his part. The sixth age shifts Into the lean and slippered pantaloon, With spectacles on nose and pouch on side; His youthful hose, well saved, a world too wide For his shrunk shank, and his big manly voice, Turning again toward childish treble, pipes And whistles in his sound. Last scene of all, That ends this strange eventful history, Is second childishness and mere oblivion, Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything.
The way this poem ends reminds me of a Spanish classic poem which ends this way: it and you all together will turn into earth, smoke, dust, shadow, nothing.

"The world is a stage, but the play is badly cast."
~Oscar Wilde (of course)
i agree
yup lol. sounds about right.
it's so wise!
nailed it🌟🎯😁
fr fr😭😭😭 I think the play was a complete mistake, maybe it’s the wrong one cause it can’t be cast that badly😢
All the world’s a stage,
And all the men and women merely players;
They have their exits and their entrances;
And one man in his time plays many parts,
His acts being seven ages. At first the infant,
Mewling and puking in the nurse’s arms;
And then the whining school-boy, with his satchel
And shining morning face, creeping like snail
Unwillingly to school. And then the lover,
Sighing like furnace, with a woeful ballad
Made to his mistress’ eyebrow. Then a soldier,
Full of strange oaths, and bearded like the pard,
Jealous in honour, sudden and quick in quarrel,
Seeking the bubble reputation
Even in the cannon’s mouth. And then the justice,
In fair round belly with good capon lin’d,
With eyes severe and beard of formal cut,
Full of wise saws and modern instances;
And so he plays his part. The sixth age shifts
Into the lean and slipper’d pantaloon,
With spectacles on nose and pouch on side;

Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything.

for the second lines i believe are actually plays with 7 acts.
Thanks
but who is the audience? *vsauce theme plays*
All the world's a stage by W. Shakespeare.

The recitation and the animation is so ethereal that I can hear and see this video forever. Love Shakespeare and Love TedEd. Thank you so much :)
"Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything"
Awww

Sans everything is so sweet
The first and third commenters, get out of this world and stop existing everywhere.

Suggestions:
Rime of the ancient Mariner - Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Ozymandias - Percy Byshee Shelly
Not marble nor the gilded monuments - William Shakespeare
P. S. The animation for this video is incredible

@@pratibhakishore7908 hey, it's not only you but me as well... I'm interested in literature!
To a skylark by Shelley and Bright star by Keats! Also something by dickinson would be cool!
@@stelliferous3894 first one is amazing!
Sometime we see a cloud that's dragonish... - Shakespeare
I remember my English class. I'm Brazilian, and I remember that this poem was written on my book. I just wanna say thank you for this. ❤
The older I get the more I can appreciate his words , there’s no short cut in this life and second guessing the future is a waste of time.
Wow, TED-Ed, you consistently blow me away with your videos, but these animated poems are just amazing. Please keep up the good work :)
The figure of speech in the line
"Sans teeth , sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything"
Is Euphemism.
I still don't get that line. Can you please enlighten me?
Francis Triexl Kyle Gobi sans is latin for I think no so..
“No teeth, no eyes, no taste....
No everything
Sans means without. The line describes how we lose everything in the sixth stage . We go on losing stuff like people, senses, memory and lastly our life. The way the line is written, it shows death in a harsh, moving yet beautiful way. That is my favorite line of the poem.
@@mariaaaa1128 Oh, sorry about that but thanks for the heads up :D
Poignant, timeless pieces of poetry + Ted-ED's awesome animation + soothing background noise and narration = literary heaven

I have never seen a more beautiful animation. Who'd have thought one could make a harbor scene so poetic. Most profound of art just needs a sincere observation it seems.
We tackled this a year ago. Seeing this made my memories flow again on those things we do when we are first introduce to this poem
This is the first time I've heard Shakespeare, now I understand why people like him so much, it's beautiful 👏🇬🇧❤
Suggested by English teacher
Now I'm addicted to this channel
Thank you Sanad sir 💫💗
The voice modulation, the visuals only adds beauty to this wonderful poem.
Then I must be a bad actor
Lol
Lol
Sounds like me 🤷♂️😎
you're great, Danny!
Check my acting then think again
I can't explain this animation.........they just touchs my heart
This reading is unbelievably beautiful.
The animation is simply brilliant! The way the image of the boats and the narration wove together to create the ideal mindscape for this poem! Brilliant!
*_To be or not to be? That's the question:_*
Ted-Ed made three videos in one day.
I wish i could somehow share this with literally everybody all at once. This was truly spectacular.
The way the ending is delivered gave me chills
Lady Furina...
We are forever grateful.
Legit came here because the title felt familiar, well now I know where I heard it from
mm yes, very relevant
The way you recite the poem is awesome....heart touching poem
As a mother of a newborn, the poem evokes new emotions that I have not known before
Every night amidst this Pandemic, I listen to these Poems as if sung to me by the great author him/herself.
Thank you Ted Ed
Ahh what a beautiful reminder. The way it is portrayed and narrated is just beautiful.
I was introduced to this masterpiece by father 3 days before he passed
The way it was read was really lovely.
That's the problem - it was too 'lovely', too 'nice'. Jacques is a crusty old cynic who is pointing out the futility of life and our delusion in believing we're free and independent spirits, when in fact we're just inhabiting predetermined roles.
Takes me back to my 2nd age where I learnt this poem for literature. In all the stages we live off through the reminiscences of the previous stage, and I suppose it shall not end.
Whoa, I first read this poem in my school literature book when I was in 9th grade(4years ago)
This poem is simply AMAZING. It really moved my heart and gave me so many messages. This is one of my favorite poems!
I love this. But Shakespeare shined best when he wrote Shall I Compare Thee To A Summer's Day. To every guy out there, memorize this poem. Put on Bach's Prelude in C Minor. Slow dance with your girl. And lean down on her ear and recite Shall I Compare Thee To A Summer's Day in a whisper. That's how you tell a girl you actually love her.
@O D true. True.
Prelude in c major m8, if u put on the c minor one she might think ur up to something.
@@completeandunabridged.4606 I just listened to the Rachmeninoff C sharp minor prelude.
That's the music to murder people to, lol.
That Sonnet is more about the nature of poetry itself than about love.
But that sonnet is literally calling the subject a intemperate mess whose only positive trait is good looks... I actually like my girlfriend
This poem always makes me see young people as old and old people as young.
the recitation is everything . Just amazing
These poems restore my faith to humanity.
2:34 is one of Shakespeare's best lines🤞
Nice one

How beautifully read...I'm truly entranced😍
at first when i read this poem i felt nothing but after watching this i felt like i've missed a lot this in this such masterpiece.
The audio is commendable and very attractive yet peaceful and interesting.
WOW! THE NARATION OF THIS VIDEO IS JUST AMAZING AND ALSO THE GRAPHICS AND THE VISUALS ARE! IT WAS SO PEACCEFUL AND SATISFYING!
The allegorical use of boats in this animation is both stunningly appropriate and lyrical...
Extraordinary narrating skills
Your way of narrating the poem ,I got goosebumps really love the poem thank you
These poems needs more views
Nice animation to go along with the poem by William Shakespeare.
Animation is simply amazing
This reminds me of when this was taught in school!!
This poem speaks such profound truth
I am Overwhelmed while listening this
William Shakespeare is still the most popular poet and writer in the world.
This poem was in my Syllabus and I never Understood properly
And after Final exam UA-cam now recommended this
And now I am Enjoying it after
Ah, I remembered this poem became our lesson in our English class. Thank you for uploading this
I only knew Frost and Shakespeare in this series. All of these are excellent
narrator is so good at reading the poem
LOVE THIS IDEA FOR A SERIES! Some of the Keats sonnets would be awesome to animate: I’m thinking ‘ When I have fears' or 'Bright Star' in particular.
The boats are personified to imitate the seven stages
Outstanding animation
This video is poetry itself.
A well creative Masterpiece of William Shakespeare!
I just want to add that our program has an english course and this video's audio was used to ask graded assignments, and the subtitles were a great help for me, the poem itself is of great value to me as I read it in our grade 6 speaking class.
(for anyone curious I am talking about the degree of BS in Data Science and Programming English Course May 2024 Week 1 Assignment, Wishing other's find this video before the deadline!!)
The background music is so good
This reminded me of my school days... the forest of arden... melancholic jaques... Thank you Ted Ed for bringing back those sweet memories :)
I had to memorize this for drama class :/
(it was actually fun though)
This poem gives me goosebumps...!!!!!!!! 🥹🥹🥹
I can imagine Duke Senior, Jacques, Orlando, and all their allies reciting poetry and having fun in the forest.
Lol this reminds me of dead poets society
I would watch this video over and over again. Brilliant animation and bgm.
Such a powerful piece. Made me tremble to the core. Bravo William, bravo.
"You are a child of the universe,
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. "here is an excerpt from desiderata
desiderata by max ehrmann please!!
All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players;
They have their exits and their entrances,
And one man in his time plays many parts,
His acts being seven ages. At first, the infant,
Mewling and puking in the nurse's arms.
Then the whining schoolboy, with his satchel
And shining morning face, creeping like snail
Unwillingly to school. And then the lover,
Sighing like furnace, with a woeful ballad
Made to his mistress' eyebrow. Then a soldier,
Full of strange oaths and bearded like the pard,
Jealous in honor, sudden and quick in quarrel,
Seeking the bubble reputation
Even in the cannon's mouth. And then the justice,
In fair round belly with good capon lined,
With eyes severe and beard of formal cut,
Full of wise saws and modern instances;
And so he plays his part. The sixth age shifts
Into the lean and slippered pantaloon,
With spectacles on nose and pouch on side;
His youthful hose, well saved, a world too wide
For his shrunk shank, and his big manly voice,
Turning again toward childish treble, pipes
And whistles in his sound. Last scene of all,
That ends this strange eventful history,
Is second childishness and mere oblivion,
Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything.
This poem reverberates in my consciousness to just live my life to the fullest coz we're all bound to reach death at last
Pease please please continue the series😍😍
It brought back the memories of my highschool. We used to have as you like it as a play in our course.
The narrator voice blends in with the poem
The way this poem ends reminds me of a Spanish classic poem which ends this way: it and you all together will turn into earth, smoke, dust, shadow, nothing.
All time favorite❤️❤️❤️❤️💜💛💛💛
Bravo! Great words and a great production!
This made me cry 😢
Take a bow, Ted Ed. You make my life remarkable
Thank you so much, Ted Ed! I had this poem in school and the video took me back in time. Absolutely loved all the poems in the series :)
I remember my 8th grade days when we used to perform this. The nostalgia is real.
And we were being memorized this poem in our college, only today I was able to understand it completely
The mood is very comforting..😍😍😍
I recommend Sonnet 29😍
I love his language since its so furnished now but more it was tuned to the people at the time he first wrote this
I learned this wonderful poem in 8th standard, 2 years ago
Marvelous. I memorized this poem by William Shakespeare and I love it 😍
Your way of speaking is too good
I reas this in eighth grade! Animation is wonderfull!
The recitation is just fab👌👌👌
The way they animated water on a blank space... wow.
I presented this in middle school from memory once..
I read this poem in 9th class but *understood* it today thank u ted-ed
One of my favourite poem!
