    When you tell George he has a sagacious eye he gives a big smile. That was cute to see.

      Love George.. always loved dogs... many times they show us we're not as clever or smart as we think....will never forget our Mum telling us only two things give us unconditional love, Your Mum and your dog. She was spot on....

    Superb, thank you so much for this wonderful reading and discussion on Keats great poem. And what a beautifully illustrated publication to read from. Here in Dublin, in the Hugh Lane Gallery we have the famous stained glass window, by the artist Harry Clarke...The Eve of Saint Agnes, commissioned by Harold Jacob, a member of one of the great Quaker families who provided so much employment in Ireland, Jacob Biscuits. If you ever visit Dublin treat yourself to a visit to this Art Gallery, located on Parnell Square. I love your channel, thank you Reverend/Professor Guite for sharing your talents on this great facility that is RUclips ✨👏👏👏✨

    Wine, a hearty fire on St Agnes Eve
    A pipe awaits outside the sacred lounge
    And Malcolm reads to us
    And nightmares of English winters past
    Become fond nostalgia
    A hope of another January to come
    Or something like that. Thanks for reading to us around the world.
    Edit: Apologies. In my spontaneous combustion of the poem, l forget the hound.

      Anthony love your poem...I love soaking up the words...the forms, the letters floating like leaves down onto the page or in this case on the computer page. Not the same. and I have a typewriter I love to type out poems on...the sound is magnificent to the ear...thanks again...

    This is one of my favorite channels and I watch Malcolm 4-6 days a week if I can. Thank you Rev. Guite for inspiring me to study poetry. But I still can't fathom Keats. Seriously, i got over his adolescent wet dreams some 40 years ago. Real people are not like this and living with real people is so much better than the creepy idyllic vision in this poem. He dreamed of sneaking into her room while she chocked on a nightingale and then there's blood of kings and queens?? She loosens her fragrant bodice? Not look behind or all the charm is fled? What better way to describe the machinations in the mind of a peeping Tom? And then she passes out from opium? She wakes up with some creep who stole her guitar singing in her ear and thinks he's the man of her dreams?? Keats is honored by many people and institutions that I respect, so hopefully I am misunderstanding.

    • @MalcolmGuitespell
      @MalcolmGuitespell  19 дней назад

      I think you may be misunderstanding. This poem is more like Romeo and Juliet than #metoo It is clear that she really loves him and he has taken real risks to meet and rescue her

  • @dalenelson8254

    I wonder if your edition was inspired by the 1937 Nonesuch Press edition of The Illustrations of William Blake for Thornton's Virgil with the First Eclogue and the Imitation by Ambrose Philips, introduced by Geoffrey Keynes. "Printed in Great Britain at the Curwen Press Plaistow." The design on the boards looks very similar to those of your book, which may be a bit larger than the one I have, copy No. 501 of 1000, a birthday present about 20 years ago. ...Nice to see George again.

    May I dare inquiring with you Malcolm if would there be any sort of interest in you to review the sonnets I have published recently. My mother tongue is spanish, but my second one has been english for a good number of years. Hope this doubt harms not your soul... My name is Cesar Delgado-Guembes, and I live in Lima, Peru.
