Please, for the love of mankind, record the full version of this poem! It's such a wonderful recitation, that I keep coming back to it almost every day.
This poem means so many different things to me, but a common theme - redemption and rebirth. It is so beautiful and has always been one of my favorites.
My literature professor taught us this as the last lesson and ive stolen this as my parting lesson from students ever since. Really touching, love you Dr. Farah❤️ 🧑🎓🧑🏫
This poem was my major introduction to English literature. It keeps on taking new meanings and more clarity for me as I grow older. I was 13 the first time i wrote an analysis of it and today, it is ever so profound. And this presentation? Appropriate and fitting
I love all the poems you're coming out with. I hope you keep doing them I find more inspiration in these then 100, 10 min videos of a person trying to hype me.
I know exactly why you did only the last part of it - it is like a poem in itself. But - as yet "another work on noble note" - please do the whole thing too. You read it admirably.
Extremely powerful and inspiring!!! These words are worth more than silver and gold my fellow humans. Thank you RedFrost for posting yet another beautiful video.
Art of Greatness: I never really read alot of poetry but when I came across this channel, I go straight to the poems. I am a Senior and now I know what the poems are saying. So now I am such a fan. Absolutely Beautiful!
I first heard this poem in Frasier. Love it so much I went looking for it to read it whole. It's humbling, and for us middle-aged, it brings up what we knew. I would love to hear this with more force and passion, but it's not bad at all.
“Chairman, Ministers, today I've repeatedly heard how irrelevant my department has become. *"Why do we need agents, the 00 section? Isn't it all rather quaint?"* Well, I suppose I see a different world than you do and the truth is that what I see frightens me. *I'm frightened because our enemies are no longer known to us.* They do not exist on a map. They're not nations, they're *individuals.* And look around you. Who do you fear? Can you see a face, a uniform, a flag? No! Our world is not more transparent now, it's *more opaque!* It's in the shadows. That's where we must do battle. *So before you declare us irrelevant, ask yourselves, how safe do you feel?* Just one more thing to say, *my late husband was a great lover of poetry,* and, em, I suppose some of it sunk in, despite my best intentions. *And here today, I remember this, I think, from Tennyson...”* -M, Skyfall
I really enjoyed your measured reading of this epic poem. While I've read the story Ulysses, I've never heard or read the poem. However now I appreciate the prose story and the poem for how the imply the unceasing need to stride until death or possibly beyond. Also, that tremelous violin accompaniment really adds to the atmosphere created by your voice. Super!!👍🏽😊👏🏾👏🏾🌅
Very high poetry for noble souls! Rarely can boast a strong will, but it is necessary to develop the strength of spirit, read the teaching of Buddhism and believe, if we dream our distant ancestors, that death is not the end of everything and falling into the abyss of emptiness, but just the beginning of another life in the parallel world of the dead, after which we will have the Second Coming of Christ, the Judgment and the resurrection of all righteous souls...
Your voice is so inspiring and profound. It reminds me of that of Leonard Cohen. Thank you for this amazing piece of art, you're making me study this with more interest. I could hear it over and over again!
Don’t cut this great poem short. Recite the entire poem. Granted the end is the best but to understand the end you must also know the beginning. To the makers of this web site. If you are going to only read some of the poem it should be made clear to the audience that the reading cover only part of the poem. Otherwise it is unfair the the listener. Great poetry is the know the entire poem
Honor is no boundary young age or old,beçouse everything go to death or rest full of experience and yet service don't need expectation whatever your status in life
I like the RedFrost perspective = commentary above ⬆️ I like that part of studying. The "wrap up" or even better "di=secting" line by line. 🤔 It's work, tho.
The more I look into it, the more I realise how much Black Ops 2 draws from this. blops2 has some incredible writing and story, but I owe it to Tennyson for his inspiration.
It was said that this was JFK's favorite poem and Teddy quoted it often during his long tenure in politics as well. "Come, my friends, tis not too late to seek a newer world!"
Thank you for motivating so many people on this planet during these times of hardship 🌍.. I hope one day to help as many people with my TH-cam channel ✌🌍🌍🌍🌍🌍🌍🌍🌍🌍

"Still I Rise" by Maya Angelou. This poem might be the most inspiring one you may put in the series.

Please, for the love of mankind, record the full version of this poem! It's such a wonderful recitation, that I keep coming back to it almost every day.
At age 77, this is the first time I have ever heard this poem read in this manner.
That's because it's only the latter 25% of the poem. The entire poem is to be preferred imo.
@@coveyssteve If he'd only read it at a sensible pace he could've fitted the whole thing into the same time!

Incredible reading...
The greatest power of poetry lies in the recitation. You have a blessed voice.
i second this. narrator gives life to those words.
and i totally believe he recited the mind of the writer.
awesome voice!
The greatest lies in love and truth, but only if the hearer not only understands it but knows its cost.
Absolutelly agrred!
This poem means so many different things to me, but a common theme - redemption and rebirth. It is so beautiful and has always been one of my favorites.
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.
(Favourite lines ❤)
I just read this same poem a few days ago! After hearing "M" recite it in the James Bond movie "Skyfall"! Very insightful! Thank You for sharing!!!
My literature professor taught us this as the last lesson and ive stolen this as my parting lesson from students ever since. Really touching, love you Dr. Farah❤️ 🧑🎓🧑🏫
That last line is perfectly read and the music perfectly timed to underscore the grit and resolve within it.
This poem was my major introduction to English literature. It keeps on taking new meanings and more clarity for me as I grow older. I was 13 the first time i wrote an analysis of it and today, it is ever so profound. And this presentation? Appropriate and fitting
It makes me speechless, feeling like I am suffocating.
An awe-inspiring work of expression.
Try the entire poem.
What a beautiful poem and wonderfully recited
I watch this once a day. I turned 50 this year. It keeps life in perspective. Thank you.
Poetry never influenced me but after listening to this I loved poems a lot. Just keep sharing poems. Great work
I love all the poems you're coming out with. I hope you keep doing them I find more inspiration in these then 100, 10 min videos of a person trying to hype me.
Thank you. Now, we start.

Surely, this was Tennyson's masterpiece. Nothing else he wrote rose to its level. A poem of great power and inspiration.
He wrote other equally great poems.
Maybe its my age but I'm preferable to Charge of The Light Brigade.
These are so beautiful. My heart is always full, listening to these masterpieces.
After truncating the silence between phrases to 1 second the reading has won considerably.
Harold Bloom sent me here.. Now to listen to this 100 times to truly understand growing old.
He sent me here too!
Poetry in your voice is the shower of blessing 😌❣️
Reading of poetry is the best thing 🎉
Thank you so much for this. My favorite poem since my twenties, and more meaningful now in my 60s.
Extremely powerful and inspiring!!! These words are worth more than silver and gold my fellow humans. Thank you RedFrost for posting yet another beautiful video.
Amazing poem made even more incredible by the speaker and the editing 👌
I hated poetry but when I came across this channel I love it KEEP GOING BRO
Art of Greatness how can you even hate poetry ?
I agree with this, most contemporary poetry is a joke. The classics however...
Me too. Even I am not good in English , I keep listening and listening . Can’t stop 😍
Art of Greatness: I never really read alot of poetry but when I came across this channel, I go straight to the poems. I am a Senior and now I know what the poems are saying. So now I am such a fan. Absolutely Beautiful!
@@greendiscipline3500 Agreed!
Keeps me alive.
Straight pass the brain direct to the soul
Alfred, Lord Tennyson owned a house in my home county in the UK. It's a museum now dedicated to him and his work. I've been there a few times.
A fantastic rendition of a fantastic work of poetry. Well done, mate.
Beyond words.God bless you.
profound. Dr. Smiley Blanton the Christian psychiatrist loved this poem, quoting it in his book 'The Healing Power of Poetry'.
Old age hath yet its honour and its toil
Honestly I just want to say this is amazing content, full of wisdom and powerful meanings.
PLEASE!!!!! As @FriAnde92 said, you NEED TO DO THE WHOLE VERSION! It starts with "It little profits" . PLEASE DO IT!
Very beautiful...

This is so powerfull and shines so bright in darkness that I might draw my sword once again, yet in the cold night.
Love Tennyson! Great poet!
A perfect poem to describe the faustian, European man. Dear God what's happened to us
Powerful recital - well done

Read this when I was 26. Read this last night at 48.
Great poem, read indifferently.
Beautiful
Thank you
Victor Vertunni did a masterful job of voicing this poem! I only wish it had been the entire poem. And what happened to "the vessel puffs her sails"?
Thank you.
It's really amazing 👌👌
This is very well done. Thank you.

2:00 what he than said, love that and it's also in the film skyfall james bond!
Loved it!!!
Great work! But why did you only upload the last stanza of the poem which includes total 3 stanzas?
I love this poem.
Honor is no boundary young age or old,beçouse everything go to death or rest full of experience and yet service don't need expectation whatever your status in life
Man tills the ground and lies beneath....Tennyson is a sad poet.
Narrator makes it 1000% better, what music tho?
They need the whole poem,
Powerful!,
Thank you RedFrost Motivation.Thank you
I find poets, those who write and creative artists very intelligent than for instance....some traditional professionals
Please do some of Seamus Heaney's Squarings from Seeing Things. Some of my favorite. These are beautiful.
Beautiful!

Amazing!! What program they used to make this?
The more I look into it, the more I realise how much Black Ops 2 draws from this. blops2 has some incredible writing and story, but I owe it to Tennyson for his inspiration.
slowly coming to an end, the stars don't shine so much anymore.😔
the love i give is never returned.
The stars burn as bright as ever.
Perhaps you need to see them beyond the skies of urban centers?
Powerful!
Great reading, but why not start from the beginning?
Love it
Ours IS to reason why! We are entitled to why.
Final scene on Frasier
It was said that this was JFK's favorite poem and Teddy quoted it often during his long tenure in politics as well. "Come, my friends, tis not too late to seek a newer world!"
deep voice
: Come, my friends,
Tis not too late to seek a newer world.

This is supposed (IMO) a daring, a motivational speech... read like this sounds like the guys it dying when it's the contrary, he wants to live again!
can anyone tell me what does hath and ere mean? Thanks a lot
I guess hath means "has" but i don't know what the other word means
Neeladri Maitra if I don’t totally understand a word or phrase, I google the poem etc...
This then allows me to understand it better....✌🏻
Neeladri Maitra known before it appears to mean....
ere is error
Ere, in this case, means ‘before’. So, before the end.
...needs the entire poem...just read a little quicker...a few more minutes.This fine poem deserves better than a snippet.
Ah, the voice
