- An excerpt from the Holy Sonnet X ("Death Be not Proud") by John Donne as read by Emma Thompson in the movie "Wit", the song is "Spiegel im Spiegel" by Arvo Pärt.
I made this video as a mean to express the admiration this sonnet, specifically the reading of it made in the movie, inspired in me...
"One short sleepe past, wee wake eternally,
And death shall be no more, death, thou shalt die."
All that's between life and death, and, why not, a new life, is a comma, no semi-colons, no capital Ds, just that... a comma, a small stop...
Such a beautiful poem, full of hope and comfort. Especially when u`ve had a sad and painful loss... Thnx a lot.
I have loved this poem reading by Emma Thompson ever since I saw the movie years ago as a kid. I wish there's a version where Emma Thompson reads the whole poem.
The comma is included because it has meaning. In the movie Wit (also sometimes spelled w;t) he character learns that the original poem uses a comma, rather than a semicolon, which completely changes the meaning of the last line
What a genius John Donne!

beautiful
Think you so much
This is absolutely beautiful! So many lovely things are combined in this video: Donne's poetry, Pärt's music, Thompson's reading... And you've done a wonderful job with the text (even the right edition! ;). ! Very reminiscient of the opening sequence of Much Ado, which made me like it even more! Pity that lines 5-8 of the sonnet are not included. But I know that's not your fault.
That's amazing! What a funny coincidence! I was sure you had been inspired by Much Ado, but all my admiration to you for coming up with this idea yourself! You and Kenneth Branagh are obviously kindred spirits! ;D
I was only 21 when I died.
Me too
Not all poetry makes sense grammatically. You'd have to look up the video Wit - "Death, Be Not Proud" to understand what I mean.
It makes more grammatical sense with the semicolon, because otherwise it becomes a comma splice. "Death, thou shalt die" is a separate sentence. Therefore, there should be a period or semicolon, not a comma.
"comma" hahahahaha xD nice reading though
1:09 : "Comma" Bahahahaha!!
