"That sail which leans on light,

yes, wonderful line
Great insight … inspiring indeed
Thank you Malcolm. I wish you a blessed Holy week.
Same to you!
Visiting you is always delightful and no more so than today. My senior thesis at the University of the Virgin Islands was a Jungian analysis of Walcott's wonderful "Schooner Flight". All the best.
I found out today that the Andreuille he has written about is my grandmother, Andreuille Alcee. My mother moved to the UK for university when she was 18 so I hadn't heard about Derek Walcott or his relationship with my grandmother before today
Dude. Big flex🎉😂

Great to hear some Walcott from you, truly one of the best.
Wonderful!
Many thanks Mr Guite for another wonderful upload, really do enjoy these 👌🏻
Glad you like them!
Beautiful
Your video reminded me that I'm not as familiar with Walcott's work as I should be. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
I have only just found your channel, I would love to hear you read Dylan Thomas.
that's a good idea, I must do that!
Have you ever read Harry Potter? It’s definitely my favourite book series.
yes, I think they're very good
