Mr. Malcolm Guite, I have not commented here before but I must say that you are a rarity in this generation. I believe you are able to describe the imaginative with such clarity and thus help others to see it and feel it because you take the time...the real time it takes...to see what can be seen but is so often missed by the rest. This past year the LORD has been nudging me back to the wonder and rest that so often follows simplicity...the pipe, the poem...the child-like eyes and mind to see and remember what wonder is like. You are one of the guiding lights He is using to point the way and I want to say THANK YOU.
I am so glad TH-cam recommended this to me out of the blue. You are a calming breath of pipe smoke tinged nostalgic air. You are a very welcomed grounding presence in my life now. Lovely to meet you Malcolm
Going from the cold feeling of the beginning to the warmth and a tale of something to come is something that makes me feel like a child ready to hear something in the comfort of my cosy surroundings. It's really something special. What a start!
Just lovely! I am sitting over here in the middle of the USA, on a grey evening that is overstaying its welcome, feeling the effects of aching sinuses. Your bit of Arthurian story brought me a little respite from these aches and pains. The winter has not been very harsh, but it hits me harder at 60+ than it did at 30, but I am still in love with Arthur and his quests, and the mystery of the grail and all of that wonderful feast. So thank you for this today. I have enjoyed your rhymes and rhythms this evening, and I look forward to more. God bless you and yours, my brother.
My good Sir I am so lucky to have taken up my Grandfather’s hobby of Pipe Smoking as it is because of this I have come across your wonderful tales. How Gracious life can be to us when we follow our elders. Much appreciated Malcolm!
I am so pleased that you have returned to your Arthurian retelling. I think that this is your master work and that it will play its part in the re-enchanting of our times. And thank you as well for your reading of TH White. As a small boy I read and reread The Sword in the Stone. I so wanted to be the young Arthur in the company of Merlin. Alan Lee's illustration of the boy sitting at his master’s feet is a picture of heaven to me. I now realise that my primary school head master came pretty close and I thank God for him.
Kind of wish I'd stumbled upon your channel during the proper winter, fireside months rather than the end of May, but no matter; a brace of excellent readings. From your opening I'd be glad to read, or hear, the rest of your ballad when it's done.
This does indeed draw me in, I landed on this video after searching for more of your Arthurian poems. I can't wait to own a copy of the finished book. Thank you for giving the opportunity to dive into the other world.
You know when I was a small boy, my Mother recorded Camelot with Richard Harris and Vanessa Redgrave off of the Old big round yard satellite dishes we had in the 80s onto VHS. She recorded it for herself of course, but I loved it then as I still do today. I watched it over and over. I didn't really understand that it was about, at least in part, adultery at the time. As you started reading this portion of, "The Sword in The Stone", I came to realize that this is where Lerner and Lowe (whichever wrote the lyrics) Got the song Camelot from. The snow may never slush upon the hillside by 8 am the morning fog has flown. Wonderful. That film and play got me into musicals which I participated in during high school. I always wanted them to do Camelot for the community musical, but they wouldn't. Something about how it might not be appropriate, and of course I suppose they were right. I do not own the Sword in the Stone (though I may now), I do have and have read, "The once and Future King". I also have a love for Tolkien and have had since, well really, since the Rankin bass cartoons came out in my childhood again, but also since 6th grade when my teacher at the time Mrs. Walz read to us The Hobbit. I have been a fan of Fantasy ever since. Speaking of Hobbits and Arthurian legend and the like have you ever read Lloyd Alexander's "The Chronicles of Prydain"? They are youth books to be sure but excellent ones full of I think welsh folklore maybe Norse as well. As I think back on it, it may be these even more so than the Hobbit that really got me started reading, the first book in the series "The Book of Three", was again read aloud to us by Mrs. Walz. From there I had to read the rest of the series "The Black Cauldron", "The Castle of Llyr", Taren the Wanderer" and "The High King". I highly recommend those books, I havn't read them since I introduced my children to "The Book of Three" when they were younger. I fancy I shall have to go dust them off again. I'm glad I found your channel, and had a wonderful time reminiscing with you today. Thank you. Post script- I got so excited about discovering the source of the song Camelot that I paused the video right there and wrote the discord above. I then continued the video and have discovered the wonderful reading of your retelling of Arthur and it was really great, drew me in. I think, I hope, I speak for all of us who have seen this that we want the rest. Your prose are excellent. Thank you again. I am not into pipe smoking I think my wife and my asthma would both kill me but I'll stop by now and again for a wee dram and an excellent conversation.
A rollicking start that would capture any reader of all ages! It brought vivid scenes before my mind’s eye and coddled and thrilled in equal measure. God speed with this project sir, it will be of great help to many in this dark time
I’m currently am in the middle of Don Quixote. I’m thinking 🤔 about writing a letter to the poor Knight of the Mournful Countenance. He will find the letter quite by accident by a tree 🌳 alongside a brook he stopped by for a cool drink. I’d like to tell him not to be discouraged 🫤 even though everyone makes fun of him. We need his courage and his optimism. We all need to have a holy purpose for our lives. To stand up for the lowly and downtrodden is a noble and essential aspect of knighthood. We need knights. We can teach our children to reach to the highest calling and not settle for dull and self centered lives! ❤
This was great. I happened to own a copy of the book King of the Celts, Arthurian Legends and Celtic tradition by Jean Markale . Since I live in the northeast kingdom of Vermont a lot of these tales apply even here with a wonderful sense of magic in our woods. I can’t understand why except for having found out that once during the Pangaea Theory Of Plates Vermont would’ve wrapped right around the Arthurian forests across the pond. Thanks for these wonderful podcasts.
Very gripping. I love your prose - beautiful. I recently discovered your channel: I’m hooked! All my favorites: Lewis, Tolkien, pipe smoking… wonderful!
Absolutely captivating! I am sat here, in the deepest darkest hills of the lake district, warming myself by the open fire, with a good cigar in one hand and a rich sherried whisky in the other. Listening, imagining, and living every word! I would love to enjoy a cigar or pipe with you, good sir, and listen to your wondeful tales. Beautiful, pure, and truely magnificent. Thank you. Chris
Oh, well done Malcolm! I’ve never heard any description of Arthur’s entry into the world strike such a perfect chord. Mystery, aye. Magic, aye. Holiness, aye. I truly longed to draw up a chair and listen, listen. Blessings of The King from Santa Fe, New Mexico USA. ~ Christy
I'm not often caught with the inability to express, but here I am. I'm not only drawn to your words but actively dragged by my goatee! Today I consider myself lucky to have found such a story teller. You have gained an avid follower.
I thoroughly enjoyed this, and look forward to hearing more. I am deeply comforted that spirits like yours still exists in our wonderful country. Thank you. X
Merlinus Ambrosius called a servant of the Light. I grant it for the sake of your poem, but you called him ambivalent earlier in your remarks and i find it closer to the majority of the ancients. It's done, I'm sure, to mark Arthur's birth and his person as holy, and with that sanctity as King of Logres I most heartily concur. And now, ignorant old bumpkin and foreigner that I am, I shall sit mum as I ought and back in a dim corner with the herdsmen and ploughboys. Your start is beautiful and your lines on the Grail Chapel are Truth.
I think that, in the last analysis he is a servant of the light, as Lewis also concluded in That Hideous Strength, but there is ambivalence and ambiguity too, which I shall have ample opportunity to explore in my arthurian poetry, supposing I find the time I need to complete it
so glad i found your channel. you've rekindled my love of literature, pipes, and scotch.... a slower simple life. thanks for that! Also you are a very gifted writer. Love the start to you Arthurian tale.
Very glad that I stumbled upon your online presence, sir! I'm currently in the middle of "Merlin: A Poem" by Edwin Arlington Robinson and so this video was quite the enjoyment. :)
Your writing (and reading) is like something from my childhood that has been missing- that I didn’t even know was missing. I am in awe, it’s fantastic! Thanks for sharing.
I find that your writing somehow manages to capture the poetic cadence and rhythm of the old tales while also being contemporary and easy to listen to. Awaiting the full tale with some anticipation. Thanks for sharing this!
I'm currently writing my first novel; your work, especially this piece, has been wonderfully inspiring. I have the same manuscript book, which made me smile to think that I might use the same tools as a great craftsman such as yourself. Keep writing, my friend, I can't wait to hear more!
You and your words are the perfect campfire in a sometimes confused, cold dark wood of a world....our house will always look forward to toasting our toes against your wonderful words and you sparkled eye joy of richer inner world we all can share....with a pipe in hand, of course
Oh yes! I'm there on that dark night, 'at the postern gate...,' leaning into the tale. It's as if I get to say, "I was there, with Arthur, the one to be king..." Sweet evocation. "Draw closer to the fire with me, wrapped warm in cloak and shawl Draw close and hear the ancient tale and I will tell you all... Come closer still; draw up your chair, pour me the foaming ale And I will strike my harp again, and tell you all the tale!" Filling your tankard--eager for more! Savor it, my friend--the process, the brain storming, trying word, sound, and verse against your marvelous inner ear--this rare and singular expression of sub-creation. May it fill you with as much joy to write as it fills us to listen to what you've written. Once again, well done!
Wow, that's absolutely beautiful. The spectre of the algorithm has clearly blessed me as I hibernate between pages this winter, cosily reading and writing away the long nights, and in a time where my love language and literature is felt most keenly, this channel is truly a wonderful find.
Well done sir! I was happily transported away from my own chair by the fire and taken to a cold wintery coast. Brilliant start. Now that you have finished the “hard part” I will be happy when you have finished the rest.
I enjoy watching you reading poems and talking about books, sometimes you even sharing your own poems which is wonderful. I wish you could read some of American poets’ poems like Stanley Kunitz, James Wright or Donald Hall. Thank you very much.
Your reading is a good distraction from the cold gray days here in the Northeast. I’ve shared you with a few friends and family. Thank you for sharing your books, thoughts, and own writings. Blessings.
Perfect moment to hear this as I sit on the patio with a pipe and good tobacco. Keeping a slow and steady cadence as I listened to your storytelling was quite therapeutic and enjoyable. Alas, I was dram-less. Cheers
Wonderful. You really capture the wildness of Tintagel. It is a landscape of such mystery. I live in Cornwall and there is something about that place that is beyond language. It is more of a feeling but you’ve done a very good job articulating it with words. It is almost otherworldly, like Merlin. I’ve always felt that the Arthur legend is deeply esoteric and psychological, and wonder if Merlin is a metaphor for either a life force or the Self. Look forward to hearing the rest!
Just wonderful sir, quite the start! Thanks for reading it to us! God bless.

You have me. That opening is just the type to make me purchase a book while browsing the aisles of my favorite shop. A return to my childhood.
Just lovely! I am sitting over here in the middle of the USA, on a grey evening that is overstaying its welcome, feeling the effects of aching sinuses.

OUTSTANDING .
I'm sure White , Tolkien and other greats would marvel at your interpretation .
Many thanks for posting
My good Sir I am so lucky to have taken up my Grandfather’s hobby of Pipe Smoking as it is because of this I have come across your wonderful tales. How Gracious life can be to us when we follow our elders. Much appreciated Malcolm!
I concur. The same realization as myself. Cheer!
incredible!

Following you has caused my personal library to grow at an alarming rate. My wife thought it was bad before... lol

I heard that poem, and I smiled for the rest of the day. Wonderful.📚🍺📚
Just WOW. Yes indeed a brilliant opening. I look forward to owning this printed word one day. Thank your for sharing,
Many thanks!

Wow. That’s amazing -to think of an Arthurian Vermont!
Applause, wonderful, the ballad is going to be cracking with an opening like that!
I cannot wait to hear more, Malcolm!

Hearing you read this fills me with the incredible urge to turn it into song!
Thank you for sharing, Sir! A beautiful beginning of what promises to be a classic work! I look forward to hearing/reading more! Cheers!
That was wonderful, Malcolm. It gripped me from the start with the description of the wild Cornish night. I was definitely drawn in.
I find that your writing somehow manages to capture the poetic cadence and rhythm of the old tales while also being contemporary and easy to listen to. Awaiting the full tale with some anticipation. Thanks for sharing this!
thanks for the encouragement!
How very wonderful!
Absolutely captivating! I look forward to the day when the completed work is published.
Beautiful.
Thank you for sharing, I was definitely drawn in.
I'm currently writing my first novel; your work, especially this piece, has been wonderfully inspiring. I have the same manuscript book, which made me smile to think that I might use the same tools as a great craftsman such as yourself. Keep writing, my friend, I can't wait to hear more!
It’s a fantastic opening! Thank you for sharing it with us.
thanks for the encouragement. another instalment coming soon!
Tremendous stuff! I only wish now to hear more!
You never cease to inspire my own poetry! Thanks and God bless!
I was certainly drawn in! And now I'm craving for some mulled wine...
I love the imagery of this already, I am beyond excited to read the whole thing. When can we expect the Grail Cycle to be published?
Early next year I hope
You and your words are the perfect campfire in a sometimes confused, cold dark wood of a world....our house will always look forward to toasting our toes against your wonderful words and you sparkled eye joy of richer inner world we all can share....with a pipe in hand, of course

thanks, that's hugely encouraging
This is amazing I was literally moving closer to the screen 😆
Absolutely perfect Malcolm. Surely to be a classic.
thanks for the encouragement
What an opening! Terrific!
Fantastic Malcolm, I really enjoyed it! Thank you very much and look forward to hearing more!
I loved that beginning. I was lifted into the lore and when you stopped I wanted more. Now I am told by greybeard of old I must wait for it to unfold.
Absolutely BRILLIANT!! I was completely captivated. More! More!!
More to come! Thanks for the encouragement!
Quite the start indeed. I got chills when you were reading. Well done!
I loved what you wrote. And yes I am intrigued and want to hear more. Thanks for sharing that.
Wow, that's absolutely beautiful. The spectre of the algorithm has clearly blessed me as I hibernate between pages this winter, cosily reading and writing away the long nights, and in a time where my love language and literature is felt most keenly, this channel is truly a wonderful find.
Welcome aboard!
Delightful, thank you for sharing! I look forward with great anticipation the continuation of your tale. God bless!
Thanks,

thanks for the encouragement
Beautiful - draw me in, I could feel the warmth of fire on my face…. Excellent…❤
Thank you very much!
Well done sir! I was happily transported away from my own chair by the fire and taken to a cold wintery coast. Brilliant start. Now that you have finished the “hard part” I will be happy when you have finished the rest.
FAN-FREAKING-TASTIC!!
Excellent 😊❤
Oh my good sir, you have earned a new subscription.
I enjoy watching you reading poems and talking about books, sometimes you even sharing your own poems which is wonderful. I wish you could read some of American poets’ poems like Stanley Kunitz, James Wright or Donald Hall. Thank you very much.
It is magical listening to you read...thank you for sharing your work and your thoughts.
Thanks for listening
Truly delightful!
Bless you, sir. That's the writing style I will adopt.
Love it. Hope to hear some more.
Superb! I’m hooked!
Thanks for the encouragement!
What a start!
Beautiful my good sir just beautiful
Absolutely wonderful start. Quite looking forward to hearing more from your manuscript in the future.
Your reading is a good distraction from the cold gray days here in the Northeast. I’ve shared you with a few friends and family. Thank you for sharing your books, thoughts, and own writings. Blessings.
played it in my head as you read
you sir paint a very elegant picture and I for one was definately drawn in. This chanel is a blessing to youtube!
Thank you! Cheers!
Very moving. Looking forward to it
Excellent
Wonderful work!!!
Perfect moment to hear this as I sit on the patio with a pipe and good tobacco. Keeping a slow and steady cadence as I listened to your storytelling was quite therapeutic and enjoyable. Alas, I was dram-less. Cheers
Beautiful
Bravo! Do continue, please!
Excellent read Malcolm. Your videos make this Pennsylvanian happy during these cold January nights. God Bless 🙏🏻
Fantastic!
Sold! I've just bought a copy of TS White and can't wait to read the whole thing. It will make the perfect companion to your work when its finished.
Wonderful!
Tremendous intro Malcolm! Looking forward to hearing more.
Very good. Definitely captured what you were aiming for. Can’t wait to hear more about this servant of the light and the re establishment of logres.
More to come!
Wonderful wonderful start :)
Beautifully written.
Simply fantastic. Your way with the english language is extraordinary.👍
Thank you! 😃
I can’t wait, to me it was very captivating!!
Consider me drawn. The light is irresistible.
This is magnificent! I can barely wait for it to be published.
Wonderful. You really capture the wildness of Tintagel. It is a landscape of such mystery. I live in Cornwall and there is something about that place that is beyond language. It is more of a feeling but you’ve done a very good job articulating it with words. It is almost otherworldly, like Merlin. I’ve always felt that the Arthur legend is deeply esoteric and psychological, and wonder if Merlin is a metaphor for either a life force or the Self.
Look forward to hearing the rest!
Glad you enjoyed it! I hope to visit Cornwall again soon to soak in a bit more of the atmosphere for my poem
@@MalcolmGuitespell Enjoy your time here!
Drawn in right from the start, great job! Greetings from Belfast!
Thanks a lot!
Aye Sir, thou hast hooked this fish! What a pleasure I have discovered here in my TH-cam feed!
thanks for the encouragement!
