    Thanks for this video! I've listened to it at least a dozen times in an effort to memorize the poem... it's a great recitation.

    I enjoy listening to this poem read by Julian Glover. I like his voice quality and cadence.

    More of a performance, deep and thoughtful, of a deep and thoughtful poem, than a reading, just great. Definitely will look for more readings by Glover.

    Nicely done, with wonderful dramatic pauses and inflections of the voice.

    Poor death! Thou are slave to ... desperate men and dost with poison, war or sickness dwell - fresh view to turn the tables on Death.
    Very nice job, scansion, cadence.

    Stupenda lettura,bellissima voce. Non conoscevo questo attore,ma la sua maniera di leggere poesie è superiore a quelli che vengono di solito lodati, Gielguld o la ridicola voce chioccia di Richard Burton

    I have not heard a single person recite it correct. He mocks and teases death. Like youd say to someone whos pathetic and pretends to be strong. Death be not proud! Its not a dark poem...but a mocking fun poem with dark humor.

      I've always loved that about this poem it's one of the only poems I've studied which doesn't show death as something to be feared
