@ibexdnb2879 As a Texan - most of us are always eager to break bread with well-meaning, genuinely curious strangers. We love to host. Just don't exclusively visit the large cities. They are fun (San Antonio is my favorite), but the spirit is strongest in the more rural areas and smaller cities and towns.
There is nothing quite so charming and contagious as enthusiasm. It's most refreshing, in a time where many are jaded and cynical. Life is good indeed; God bless you, Malcom Guite.
My Grandfather passed this last year and you remind me so much of him. I have no idea why RUclips recommended this to me but thank you so so much for these videos. It really helps a lot. I hope you have a wonderful life and I will now be a forever viewer!
Greeting from germany Mr. Guite, thank you for very much for yourself and these wonderful videos. These are of no nature to what we now see on RUclips and fill a unique gap. Please dont change, your videos are great as they are. The longer the better.
Thanks for taking us on this tour with you!! If you ever find yourself near Atlanta I want to try and meet you, as I have followed you for years, both with piping and with all things Hobbit! Cheers
So glad you were able to spend some time in the ABL! I was there almost daily when Stephen Prickett ran the library during my doctoral work at Baylor. The Christmas concerts held there each December were just so beautiful.
I would be absolutely made up to watch a series where the professor visits old American university libraries because they're ALL this fantastical. The University of Michigan's (my alma mater) William Cook Legal Research Library is absolutely beautiful and full of some really interesting historical finds. All over the Midwest, Great Lakes, and Northeast, there are sure to be so many treasures
Tino ataahua tēnei (so beautiful this is). I've listened to your videos to lull me to sleep, but ironically enough I often end up too captivated by your readings and musings to actually doze off. In my culture orators are incredibly revered. I adore listening to you and thank you for your work in sharing these videos. Ngā mihi ki a koe (many thanks upon you). - From a 23 Yr old Māori from Aotearoa (the land of the long white cloud) New Zealand
Greetings 23 yr-old Maori from an old(er) Pakeha Malcolm Guite fan who also loves lying awake under the same long white cloud as you listening to timeless stories and poems in the midnight sleepless hours!
This channel has become such a delightful and insightful way to end my day As a former resident of Oxfordshire (now in the US), there’s something wonderfully nostalgic and warm about out the books, tweed and pipes. Keep it up!
Malcolm! I attended your readings to the Brazos Fellows at Glory Bell a couple of weeks ago, and am a Waco native. Thanks so much for your time in Waco. It was such a lovely event. I hope you enjoyed your stay in Texas!
Mmmm... Thank you. It was lovely to see my Malcolm smile in anticipation before hearing you reading, with such appreciative enthusiasm, these two wonderful beloved poems. Thank you for sharing their background anecdotes too. Love is beautiful. 💕
the passion of delight for the old but never ending never expiring never dying words and written thoughts is just an exquisite joy for all... how was that?
Hope you liked your time here in Texas, the traffic can get a little on the wild side but there’s lots to see (and taste 🌯), I’ve lived in Dallas, Fort Worth, Houston, and Austin- each part of this state more different than the last. Also, Love your videos, they help get me started on early mornings right before I go to my university.
You're making me miss Texas. I grew up there and still have family in the Lone Star State. Seeing folks from other lands thoroughly appreciating the history and architecture we have here and the connection they feel therein is touching. I felt the same when I visited Ireland last year, and I hope to see your country of England soon.
I live in Waco, and recently discovered your channel, which my wife and I have been enjoying very much. What a pleasant surprise to see that you were so close to us!
I have been trying to figure out why you are so captivating to me. I only discovered your channel a few days ago. Some people here in the comments have beautifully summarized the feelings I haven't been able to articulate. Your enthusiasm and personality are truly inspiring. That and your magnificent beard and head of hair, haha! Thank you, Mr. Guite.
Oh, the hours I spent in that library, studying, pondering, and being amazed at God's goodness while taking in all the beautiful windows in the library! Thank you for this beautiful reading!
Ha ha! So nice to see this wonderful place lovingly shown on RUclips! I remember when I visited there in '17 or '18 when I was attending graduate school at Baylor. Magical place. Another great space at Baylor is "The Great Hall" (dining hall) at Brooks Residential College. It was modeled after the Great Hall at Christ Church in !
Many thanks for another delightful video. My wife especially enjoyed this episode as she read English at Baylor and has many fond memories of the Armstrong Browning Library. Safe travels!
No matter where we track you down, you bring such a deep and awesome sense of belonging! You could have told us this was your old study and you've been there for ages and we'd believe it! Awesome video! Had I known you were so near my state of Arkansas, Id be on the road to hear your talk!
I love how some people can hold all the information in their head to recall at will. I would love to have that kind of mind it seems such joy. My mind works in a different way. Watching and listing to Malcom to me is like watching a musician I know what they are doing, but can only marvel at the how they do it. You make sharing a life time spent of gathering knowlage seem effortly and wonderful and intresting.
Imagine audiobooks of Narnia and the Hobbit with this voice... imagine floating to bed with this voice moulded into the shape of Keats' To Sleep, what a delight that would be!-as are all your video's by the way! Ever looking forward to new poems!
I never enjoyed history when I was young in school . I was So wrong . I now enjoy it more than what goes on in present day . We all need to put down the phone and pick up the pen 🖊️ .
I love watching you Malcolm...I wish I understood the way you understand...my thoughts are lowly compared to yours...because of you I now read classic books...and I love it.
No Way! I just discovered your channel yesterday and I love it! I live in Texas! To think that you were in Waco, just an hour's drive away from me, is crazy! I wish I could've stumbled into you in person! I hope you enjoyed your time in Texas! It would've been a dream to smoke a pipe with you
If you find yourself headed south from Waco, I do recommend stopping in Salado, particularly at Fletcher’s Books and St. Joseph’s church effectively in its backyard. Very reminiscent of an English vickerage, and Mr. Fletcher can point you to some fantastic places, literary works, and the history of churches in the area. Ask about the stained glass! If you do, say that Logan or “Logando” sent you :)
So enjoyed getting to meet you at your Baylor Herbert lecture and reading your poetry! I would love to some day hear what you thought of Gregory the Great's "on the metered." Such a delight to have you in Texas.
Hello Malcom. I am a born and raised Texan who is actually a descendant of Robert and Elizabeth Browning! My grandfather, a Methodist preacher who still lives in the state, is particularly interested in the genealogy of that line. Needless to say, this is a cool video for me!
I'm glad you found something to love here in Texas! hopefully everyone you've met so far has been kind to you. if you get a chance try to catch the blue bonnets in bloom. despite common misconception it is not illegal to pick them unless they are on private land or government land. they are blooming right now
Browning has always been a favorite. Nicely read, by the way. I ran in to our friend. Phil Keaggy in Columbia, TN at the Muletown show last weekend. Sure would have been a gas if you could have squeezed that into your US stop. I'da love to swapped poems with you. At any rate, keep scratching! MUCH LOVE
If I had known that you were to be in Waco, Malcolm, I'd have been on the first plane out of San Diego, just to get a glimpse of you. Rats! ( no pun intended ).
I can't believe you were in Texas I am literally 3 mi from that museum and it's one of my favorite places in Waco. I wish Would have known, there is a lovely place called Don's humidor that has excellent pipe tobacco, my favorite blend is early darkness, and highland whiskey.
If you ever find yourself in the Chicagoland area, stop in to the Marion E Wade center at Wheaton College! A little museum dedicated to the Inklings where the writing desks of Tolkien and CS Lewis are on display, as well as the wardrobe Lewis's father built that helped inspire Narnia.
an Englishman in Texas. A veritable delight.
As an Englishmen, if i ever visit The States, my first destination will be Texas.
@ibexdnb2879 As a Texan - most of us are always eager to break bread with well-meaning, genuinely curious strangers. We love to host. Just don't exclusively visit the large cities.

Hahahaha, well spoken sir.
In Waco, no less.
There is nothing quite so charming and contagious as enthusiasm.
It's most refreshing, in a time where many are jaded and cynical. Life is good indeed; God bless you, Malcom Guite.
This man is an international treasure, protect him at all cost.
You are a true treasure Mr. Guite.
This is definitely my favourite RUclips channel.
Wonderful to see it grow and grow.
Best wishes to you.
My Grandfather passed this last year and you remind me so much of him. I have no idea why RUclips recommended this to me but thank you so so much for these videos. It really helps a lot. I hope you have a wonderful life and I will now be a forever viewer!
Sorry to hear about your grandfather but welcome aboard
As a resident of Texas, I am sad to have missed your visit!
A big soppy smile and misted eyes. Thank you for reading such unbounded love to us so masterfully Malcolm.
Greeting from germany Mr. Guite, thank you for very much for yourself and these wonderful videos. These are of no nature to what we now see on RUclips and fill a unique gap. Please dont change, your videos are great as they are. The longer the better.
Give you joy of the find in desolate Waco!! This Texian is glad of your visit as a brother of Christ, the bowl and poetry! 😁
Thanks for taking us on this tour with you!! If you ever find yourself near Atlanta I want to try and meet you, as I have followed you for years, both with piping and with all things Hobbit! Cheers
I love your readings so much. The channel is truly a blessing!

Excellent Texas is a great state , you certainly roam around haha have a safe enjoyable journey god bless
you convey the poem so well, so beautifully in your reading.
I don't know how this channel was recommended to me, but I'm damn well glad it was. This gentleman is an absolute treasure.

Greetings 23 yr-old Maori from an old(er) Pakeha Malcolm Guite fan who also loves lying awake under the same long white cloud as you listening to timeless stories and poems in the midnight sleepless hours!
@@stefsomful hehehe kia ora fellow fan! Under the same long white cloud, I'm definitely using that line - so well put.
Just learnt about two amazing poets through you kind sir, thank you dearly!
Thanks for listening
This channel has become such a delightful and insightful way to end my day
As a former resident of Oxfordshire (now in the US), there’s something wonderfully nostalgic and warm about out the books, tweed and pipes. Keep it up!
Hi Malcolm! I should not be surprised to find you almost anywhere even in Texas. Thanks for brightening my day indeed.
Malcolm! I attended your readings to the Brazos Fellows at Glory Bell a couple of weeks ago, and am a Waco native. Thanks so much for your time in Waco. It was such a lovely event. I hope you enjoyed your stay in Texas!
What I particularly like is wherever you are in the world you can always find the heart of the matter.
"You've managed to track me down in Texas". Love it. The road goes ever on.
Mmmm... Thank you. It was lovely to see my Malcolm smile in anticipation before hearing you reading, with such appreciative enthusiasm, these two wonderful beloved poems. Thank you for sharing their background anecdotes too. Love is beautiful. 💕
Another excellent video. In a wonderful place. Thank you. Peter.
Those beautiful stained glass windows perfectly compliment the colour of the poetry of love read with such colourful enthusiasm. Delightful stuff.
the passion of delight for the old but never ending never expiring never dying words and written thoughts is just an exquisite joy for all... how was that?
This is so relaxing and perfect.
This is the best RUclips channel ever to exist
Malcolm, if only I could tell you how much your videos have toucghed me. I feel that they contribute to my Wish to Be.
Unbelievable to find such a quality man/channel trough the YT Algorythm
Thank you for your precious videos and keep growing!
Best wishes from Germany!
Hope you liked your time here in Texas, the traffic can get a little on the wild side but there’s lots to see (and taste 🌯), I’ve lived in Dallas, Fort Worth, Houston, and Austin- each part of this state more different than the last.
Also, Love your videos, they help get me started on early mornings right before I go to my university.
I did!
Wonderful again sir. You truly are a joy to watch. Thank you so much.
Welcome to the US Malcolm! Much love from Oregon ❤️
The world needs more people like you.
I really love the history of the writers that you sprinkle into your videos.
You're making me miss Texas. I grew up there and still have family in the Lone Star State. Seeing folks from other lands thoroughly appreciating the history and architecture we have here and the connection they feel therein is touching.
I felt the same when I visited Ireland last year, and I hope to see your country of England soon.
His excitement made this all the better.
I live in Waco, and recently discovered your channel, which my wife and I have been enjoying very much. What a pleasant surprise to see that you were so close to us!
A beautiful university campus, a beautiful library...these are some of the finer places for reading and thinking.
I have been trying to figure out why you are so captivating to me. I only discovered your channel a few days ago. Some people here in the comments have beautifully summarized the feelings I haven't been able to articulate. Your enthusiasm and personality are truly inspiring.

It's always a pleasure to watch your videos Malcolm, thank you.
Thank you for reading so eloquently, a reminder of a long ago high school English teacher, who did much the same. The words became alive
What a gorgeous building those doors were fantastic
Many thanks for another delightful video. My wife especially enjoyed this episode as she read English at Baylor and has many fond memories of the Armstrong Browning Library. Safe travels!
Welcome to Waco and Texas!
Thankyou for sharing this amazing library with us and reading such wonderful books 📕 as ever I am left enchanted and filled with gratitude 🙏🏻
Poe dedicated his Raven to EBB, so smitten by this angel of love's verse.
All the glory! Thnx
A delight, sir. Thankyou.
Welcome to Texas Malcolm! Hope you enjoyed it!
Thank you for all the fun content you do! Makes my work enjoyable and go by faster. Also I hope you enjoyed my home state of Texas!
Good Afternoon 😊 Beautiful Place 😍 Thanks for showing and sharing with a tour 👏🏼 Have a wonderful Day 🤗 Greetings from South Africa 🇿🇦
Thank you for gracing my home state with your poetic enthusiasm Malcolm 📖
How delightful! thank you for spotting the potential to report back.
How amazing. Thank you for a brightening th start of the day.
Hope you enjoy your trip to the mild west :) always a joy to hear you so excited about great poetry.
Beautiful! ✨
Just got into pipes. Just found this channel. Amazing, relaxing, and full of good taste. Thank you
@UCP9ksLDuty5Z-3F4D3nfByg no.
No matter where we track you down, you bring such a deep and awesome sense of belonging! You could have told us this was your old study and you've been there for ages and we'd believe it! Awesome video!
Had I known you were so near my state of Arkansas, Id be on the road to hear your talk!
Welcome to Texas mi amigo! Lovely poetry read in a majestic room
I do hope you enjoyed our wonderful state of Texas! You seem to have had a lovely time. God bless you ✝️
I love how some people can hold all the information in their head to recall at will. I would love to have that kind of mind it seems such joy. My mind works in a different way. Watching and listing to Malcom to me is like watching a musician I know what they are doing, but can only marvel at the how they do it. You make sharing a life time spent of gathering knowlage seem effortly and wonderful and intresting.
I studied there many times, beautiful place! Hope Baylor treats you well!
Imagine audiobooks of Narnia and the Hobbit with this voice... imagine floating to bed with this voice moulded into the shape of Keats' To Sleep, what a delight that would be!-as are all your video's by the way! Ever looking forward to new poems!

I live in Fort Worth. 👍🏼🤘🏼🙏🏼
I wish I knew your speaking journeys here in good old USA . I would travel two hundred miles in any direction to hear Malcolm speak
If you find yourself headed south from Waco, I do recommend stopping in Salado, particularly at Fletcher’s Books and St. Joseph’s church effectively in its backyard.

Master Guite is always a pleasure to lend my ears to.
Welcome to the US Malcolm!
Fantastic Malcolm, thank you!
Greetings from a viewer in south Texas! Malcolm, the rare find isn't a little bit of England in Waco but Texas finding you. All the best JB
Enjoy your visit to the states.
So funny. The chances of me ever meeting Malcolm are slim to none if he comes to Texas when I’m in England. 😂
Hello Malcom. I am a born and raised Texan who is actually a descendant of Robert and Elizabeth Browning! My grandfather, a Methodist preacher who still lives in the state, is particularly interested in the genealogy of that line. Needless to say, this is a cool video for me!
Wow this was wonderful!
Hip-hop Pied Piper is such a fine idea!!!
Brilliant stuff.
Brilliant!
I might take you up on that Pied Piper rap. 😬
I'm glad you found something to love here in Texas! hopefully everyone you've met so far has been kind to you. if you get a chance try to catch the blue bonnets in bloom. despite common misconception it is not illegal to pick them unless they are on private land or government land. they are blooming right now
Browning has always been a favorite. Nicely read, by the way. I ran in to our friend. Phil Keaggy in Columbia, TN at the Muletown show last weekend. Sure would have been a gas if you could have squeezed that into your US stop. I'da love to swapped poems with you. At any rate, keep scratching! MUCH LOVE
If I was rich. I would hire this gentleman to come read poetry to my family in the evening as frequently as he would like.
Welcome Malcolm to the U.S. Enjoying this video as I sip some coffee. Cheers
Thank you.
If I had known that you were to be in Waco, Malcolm, I'd have been on the first plane out of San Diego, just to get a glimpse of you. Rats! ( no pun intended ).
Safe travels!!!
God bless you
I’m so happy 😊

Just recently discovered you, I’m loving every video!
