- I read you Shakespeare’s famous lines about England and also a poem of my own about the little church at Hatley St. George.
If you'd like to see a picture of the church and a copy of the poem it's on my blog here: malcolmguite.w...

Dear Malcolm and all subscribers, a very happy St George's Day to you all! And also, a very Happy Birthday to our Bard of England, William Shakespeare!
😂😂😂😂😂......what u have ....not PM....it is we who are rulling u ....u loosers........Modi will decide ur future....Jai Modiji....Jai Shreeram 💪💪💪💪💪💪🕉️🕉️🕉️
Our beautiful England. 🏴
One shudders to think what The Bard would make of England in 2024. But the point about loving one's country through dark times as well as sunny is well-said. Happy St. George's Day to all my fellow Englishmen, at home and abroad. Cheers from Canada.
The Bard would not shudder because he wrote of checkered man and had the gift of discernment to feel into someone--their good and bad--immediately. And when things are shadowed like now well that makes us turn within and find the garden--just like Ecclesiastes says to . . .
He'd hate the Tories.
@@Joe-oz2fh I expect he'd be even less fond of the others.
@@Joe-oz2fh I think not, well, maybe there are not as many Tories now that are highly attained (of a higher frequency and wisdom element) because not many have attained the Holy Royal Arch Star for REAL (think Whilmshurst the Meaning of Masonry or the Philosopher's Stone - the regeneration of combined man--positive and negative) the way Maj. Gen. William Howe did and showed forth on Bunker Hill ( click on my name and all the details are there and on the site and Crowe might become Howe in the movie Taking Command!!) . . . anyway Shakespeare knew he belonged with the aristos of the time because . . . is he not Berowne in Love's Labors Lost - sure no females in their study group because they were all Rosicrucians going for their Sophie within . . . got to be initiated to know this . .
@@Joe-oz2fh No he would not! The Bard wanted to be one because he knew he had been one. Love Labor Lost is all about his and the Aristos wanting to get to the bottom of Rosicrucianism - Dr Dee and the Queen. Not many Aristos today are of that higher frequency but some are . . . Shake. was like Henry James--both could walk into a room and feel what was there without looking. Wrote all about this on my site.
In Catalonia , Eastern Spain, we also celebrate Saint George, we call it Sant Jordi. He is the saint of the lovers here so we give books and flowers to our loved ones 😊
Wonderful!
England lives.
And marches on!
🏴
Mosley quote. Nice 👍
Based and Mosley pilled
I don't think Malcolm is a fascist mate.
@@realteimopielinen Regardless if one's one or not. It's a good sentiment. England will live and March on.
@@crusader2112 work sets you free. "Now regardless of your politics, it's a beautiful statement" - 🤓
Unfathomably based
Based beyond human comprehension
Did you mean ‘biased’ maybe?
Such an atmospheric room!👌
There was thunder at one point 😂
Happy St George’s day, I love that I am English and proud of it.xxxxx🐝🐝🐝🐝
Same here my friend. And did those Feet in Ancient Times 🙏💖
Of course St. George is also the patron saint of Georgia (that country is even named after him), Moscow, several Spanish towns, Genoa in Italy (their city flag is identical to the English one), this list goes on. He is a true internationalist saint and him representing England is great as it really emphasises our proud natural commitment to multiculturalism. After all, all cultures are accepted under God.
@@BadgerOfTheSea amazing that you colonised them all first.
Absolutely nobody is teling you you're not allowed to be proud of it. Don't believe GB News.
Happy St Georges day defender of the faith.
Happy Saint George’s day and much love from America!
🍺
A fair isle, and a noble element to our souls. St George's lance slay true the evil heart of a dragon.
Happy St. George's day 🏴🇬🇧
Beautiful England 🏴 forever ❤
The English have given so much to the world. We deserve absolute gratitude.
Happy St. George’s Day Malcolm.
Sincerely,
A friend across the Atlantic. God Bless 🙏🏻 As long as there are men like you England will never die. Peace ✌🏻
'Alas... that England has fallen SO low....'
Great St Georges day reading (as usual sir) & great poem.
I think one of my favourite films (sherlock Holmes and the weapon) has a short version of this speach at the end. 👏👍👌🖖🍻
What a shame we can't even express our Englishness by adding our flag to the comment....
Very nice channel. Thanks for the video. Best wishes from Ukraine 🇺🇦 🇬🇧
Happy St. Georges day from Iceland
I live in America and no one around me smokes with a Pipe. I enjoy the videos and I smoke my Pipe while watching. I tell my wife that “I’m off to chat with Malcom”. Though I’m an American, your videos allow me to get in touch with my English roots.
Happy St George’s Day! Thank you for keeping us a happy breed and may you thwart any dragons in your path. Your posts have rekindled my love of reading and poetry.
Things you said put me in mind of the beautiful hymn, “I Vow to Thee My Country”. A dear old friend, quite the anglophile, often was brought almost to tears by those verses. Happy St. Georges Day…and thanks for your transporting poetry.
Thank you Malcolm, just had my pipe, prayed in the sun and then came inside to see this video had just been uploaded, how blessed 🏴🙏🏻
What a wisdom... thanks
If you love your country, you love it while it’s down as well when it’s up…
Thank you for this, Sir.
It's also my 61st Birthday! 😁
Happy Birthday to the Great Bard, and Happy St George's Day!
Happy birthday'! Have a great day.
Happy St. Georges day from Holland.
“This blessed plot” was quoted by Basil Rathbone at the end of one of the old Holmes movies. Loved hearing it in full context here!
St. George's Day always reminds me of the old hymn "When a Knight won his spurs in the stories of old, he was gentle and brave he was gallant and bold". I might have to visit St. George in Hatley now to see this wonderful sounding window!
This sceptre’d Isle. Some of the most beautiful words ever written. It shows the complete magic of the true English language 🇬🇧😁🥰
My mother was born on this day in 1941 and named Georgina . She passed away on 9th January this year. Thank you for your poetry ❤
sorry for your loss, but a great day to have been born on!
@@MalcolmGuitespell thank you , my Dad used to fly the St George’s flag on her birthday which always made me smile . I was born on an Easter Sunday which my Dad was also very happy about . It does feel like I have two birthdays in a way as Easter moves around .
Happy st George's day :) 🏴
I never knew why there weren't dragons in England. I thought perhaps it was the cuisine... 😂. What a blessed historical tradition
What a curious story about the tree that damaged the church’s choir section…and what a beautiful way to rebuild. Reminds me a bit of something I once read: “The Robb’d that smiles, steals something from the thief!”
This channel is an oasis in the information desert that is UA-cam. A place of peace and reflection. I like the way you present books and texts, especially those by Tolkien. I can imagine the wonderful smell of pipe tobacco in your office. God bless you!
One of my favorite parts of the day. To step away from the garden and heat to sit for a moment and listen to one of mankind’s best.
Enjoyed
You’re reading very much. Thank you. I am on my patio looking at the lush green trees old and magnificent in my part of Tx. Spring is wonderful. ❤
I’m Middle Eastern Lebanese & I love England & the English ‼️
Thank you 😊
And I love you too friend. May God bless you.
I assume you’ve never met one😂
Thank you! You should be England's poet laureate!!!
St George, my favorite tale always as a child. And if only people knew that Shakespeare
was a Philosopher for real--one that found his Sophie within, was initiated, and maybe even fully regenerated; because definitely the tongue of God (the fiery spirit) came through his vessel self and he was the Thought's act. And the isle of England is like Harry Potter's Philosopher Stone--(the Singular Male and Female energy combined) in the same way America was God's perfect idea to be the place where all men, undaunted by the State could find the peace of mind in free flowing spiritual liberty to return and seek within themselves their C-enter, that little room where they can form to and conform with the Image--become a wedded stone, and rest in eternity as they in act God's Will. Yes, America is still perfect because she is an eternal idea . . . may all of us bear His image . . .
As always, your words send the spirit soaring, Malcolm. I hope you had a lovely & blessed St. George's Day.
Thank you Malcolm! As one of many descendants of John of Gaunt (in the US), I thought of this passage as well when I was reminded it is St. George's day.
In a strange twist, you will see that Leonard Digges contributed an introductory poem to the First Folio. Digges is a descendant of John of Gaunt, and I am a Digges descendant.
Here in the US, our families always had copies of Shakespeare and the King's James Bible -- as they left Colonial Virginia and migrated into the wilds of the western lands of America, in the late 18th century.
I was thumbing through my family volumes of Shakespeare as a child just starting school. So...this is one way the English culture imprinted itself in the "new land."
Enjoy the day!!!
Good Evening 😊 Happy St. George's day 🙏🏽 Thanks for the read 📖 Have a blessed day 🙏🏽 Greetings From South Africa 🇿🇦
Mate, you're a National Treasure, love your stuff, the pipes, the poetry...gives me peace before I go to bed, thank you 😊
I'm watching in bed
Enjoyed your lovely poem. Thank you.
Thankyou Malcolm, and a merry England day! We have a group that does St George mummers plays at the English Ale event here in Australia, I’ve only managed to get there once, but it was fabulous.
A beautiful poem for what sounds to be a very beautiful church! I'm agnostic myself, never having felt that I had enough concrete evidence to believe nor disbelieve, but the way you describe St. George's I can't help but think that I'd feel some reverence sitting there amongst the quiet stillness and nature; in a place of peace built around it.
England is dying. Who will save her? Who will even bother to fight for her at all?
God channels His Light through a country for awhile until the effect wains in consciousness. Same thing in my America . . .however America was God's perfect idea to be the place where all men, undaunted by the State could find the peace of mind in free flowing spiritual liberty to return and seek within themselves their C-enter, that little room where they can form to and conform with the Image--become a wedded stone, and rest in eternity as they in act God's Will. Yes, America is still perfect because she is an eternal idea . . . may all of us bear His image . . .
Well, nobody will save her if those that care only know how to ask "Who will save her?"
Indeed, England and Planet Earth are dying due to greed, corruption and climate change. The first thing we must do is remove the Tories from power at the next election, and then we may start to course correct.
Ze Germans?
Lovely poem, Happy St. Georges day
Hello Malcolm love your readings and pipework
Hi Malcolm! "Stand here awhile and drink the silence in." I have made this my prayer just now. Bless you and yours.
Your poem is wonderful. Thank you!
Wish I could be having a pint with you at the Fort St George, our pub of choice back in the day. Salut!
I used to be a hindu and when I left for Holy Orthodoxy the demons previously worshiped dearly by me, at first came subversive with temptations of pleasure on my tongue and my mind from sanskrit verses and mantra previously, repeatedly offered in praise, shortly after swtching to tactics of terror by night; yet, by the intercession of the Dearmost Saint George, who in the temple of roman idols before Diocletian and through prayers toppled and shattered the lifeless images of the dead gods beloved, I was delivered from the torment and travail offered deservingly to me for such worship of them which had betrothed me to demons in adultery truly. Thanks to the Holy martyr St. George who heard the voice of this sinner and before the Throne of the Lord had interceeded for me. For the prayers of the righteous have strength, and such had delivered me .
I absolutely love how personal these videos are filmed. It genuinely feels like I'm just visiting a friend just to talk about literature, an experience that's very rare for me to find where I live. Thank you so much for all that you've done !
Hello Malcolm that was a wonderful reading,and that book looks amazing. I would love to have a collection of books like you have.
Thank you for bringing the light of Hatley St George in through my window
Happy St. George day to you too, kind sir! 🏴
Greetings from the Maritimes of Canada!
I think you’d deeply enjoy the Redwall series by Brian Jaques! Anthropomorphic animals, a dash of fantasy and no small amount of heroic triumphs over evil - all set against the backdrop of a peaceful abbey in the woodlands
Happy St George's day Malcolm, and thank you for the reading.
Love your readings Malcolm I'm a big Tolkien fan 😊
Wonderful poem, Malcolm.
I was walking through a little local park to where I live this evening after a family event . It was my Mrs’s bday so all the family had been round for a bbq, burgers - chickens wings - halloumi. I was maybe 5/6 cans deep. The lushness of greens , the sounds of the birds , the slight dampness upon on the leaves . It was so green . So noisy with birds .so over grown but trimmed just enough to be functional . Every bush and tree bursting with life and ready to grow out . Houses surrounding the place , everyone living their own little lives . God Bless the UK . May she be a light for the world of the middle path we all must walk in order to live in peace . May she find her way again. I love my land .
Magnificent poem!!
Thank you! Beauty!
Beautiful poem and so well-read as usual! 🍻
Happy st George's day to you
Video reminded me why My Fair Lady is my fav play ❤️🔥
A true wise english elder 🧙♂️
To me, England IS its literature. I love the way each generation of poets was influenced by the one before, and the way the poetry describes, and is rooted in, the landscape and the seasons - in the parish churches and spring flowers and so on. Shakespeare read Chaucer, Milton read Shakespeare, Blake read Chaucer, Shakespeare and Milton, and so did Wordsworth, Tennyson imitated Milton, etc, right up to Geoffrey Hill and Philip Larkin. It's a single body of poetry spanning 600 years. So sad that people take no pride in it.
Norman wisdom when appearing on desert island discs chose all his own songs it was a very memorable show ☺️ we watch you for you so please bless us with more of your poetry ☺️ it’s always extra special when narrated by the author ☺️
Best wishes with what you choose to read. I'm currently reading the Count of Monte Cristo. I might be some time. Happy reading to you.
St George's day was all these things and my Nan's Birthday. A lovely day to be English. Beautiful reading. Fantastic.
Thanks Malcolm happy birthday to mr Shakespeare
Also my Fathers birthday, remembered with much grateful love.
💚✨
I needed this. You touched on the most beautiful yet sadly obscured qualities that are too easily forgotten, yet rejuvenating to remember
lovely video again!
You always read really well and get it just right
That was a very enjoyable reading today. I always lite my pipe, get my coffee and begin your video. I feel like Im sitting right there with you smoking a pipe and drinking coffee. Thank you so much for taking time to make these videos. God Bless you and yours.
Beautiful 😊😊😊
More ytpc awesomeness! 😊😊
After a stressful day, I love to hop into bed and listen to your poems/readings while drifting off to sleep. It's very relaxing and the way you present it is just beautiful. Thank you for that :)
I find myself here again, with you Malcolm. Its been since Christmas and have been doing okay. A short dance around the rose garden, a breezy stroll past the rosemary hedge, yonder by the crabapple tree I see a bumbled bumble bee, happy to roost with you and me and books and tea. Seems when I need this enchanting world called yours, you are somehow promptly and graciously here. A story, a pipe, some smoke and a verse; is there anything left for you to do in this Universe?
Thank you Reverend most interesting
Nothing more fitting than addressing a beautiful tree to commemorate a passing of time. Even in death it continues giving and supporting. Now sadly, even our majestic beeches are under stress from disease. Now they need our prayer and support.
Found this channel a few days ago, and all the readings, the books are giving this cozy feeling - time to return to my pipe too , finally have this mood for changing back to mine :")
Wow
I love England and your poem evoked a feeling I’ve not had for some time. Beautiful.
A pipe is a must have whilst reading books. Thank you Reverend.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and poem.
Dear Mr. Guite Sir and dear English friends, i wish you a happy St George`s day, and all the best from Germany.
Happy England
I bought a copy of your book The Singing Bowl today after hearing you read the poem 📕
Please keep posting these Malcolm thank you!
Wish the people that run the UK would take some pointers from this passage
Your readings are so relaxing please don’t stop, love it!!
Happy St. George's to you Malcolm & et al from Lsncashire.
Through the prayers of the Holy Greatmartyr George may all the faithful behold the great mercy of God. Amin.
Too lovely! Thank you so much for sharing. I should like to see the site one day! And I shall think of you.
Thanks for the upload Malcom! Ive having a rough go of it recently, but I’ve been enjoying your videos! You have such a kind and peaceful presence. You’ve videos have been a nice calm break during everything!
Many thanks from America!
love all the St George day stuff ,
I love England, I'm a kiwi of somewhat English stock, my great grandfather fought in Europe in ww1 and would stop off to recoup "back home" at the family farm in bacton, Norfolk.
