- Mayakovsky - Frank O'Hara
Now I am quietly waiting for
the catastrophe of my personality
to seem beautiful again,
and interesting, and modern.
The country is grey and
brown and white in trees,
snows and skies of laughter
always diminishing, less funny
not just darker, not just grey.
It may be the coldest day of
the year, what does he think of
that? I mean, what do I? And if I do,
perhaps I am myself again.
I wish someone would pay Jon Hamm to read the entire Meditation in an Emergency and sell it like books on tape. Because anyone can read but few can read poetry.
Granted, yes, it was a fine read, but don't forget to also book David Carbonara.
If you still have that ache, look up the bits he did for Legion
I know it's not O'Hara's work, but Hamm recently did the audiobook for Walt Whitman's "Life and Adventures of Jack Engel." Please check it out. Jon is great at reading. No affectation.
interesting points ,if anyone else needs to find out about
guided meditation deep relaxation
try Skyarza Meditation Success Star (do a search on google ) ? Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my mate got excellent success with it.
Yes. He reads these ending lines beautifully
I come to this clip whenever I feel heartbroken. Other shows are prose, Mad Men was poetry.
Alex K me too! When I feel fucked up
Mad man changed my perspective on many things
Any recommendations about similar shows?
@@KakashiDominates If you haven't seen it yet watch the Sopranos next.
I'm here because I'm heartbroken.
It is easy to be beautiful;it is difficult to appear so. -Frank O'Hara
I'm addicted to this scene. Makes me feel related to Don. I can watch it everyday.
timetravelprimer Hi,Thanks for this video. I have found another source for meditations in an emergency mayakovsky. And that is Skyarza meditation success star . If you want please search it on google
Me too. Especially that part when he says "what does he think of that? I mean what do I?" It sends chills down my spine
Marcus Burton good poetry. And Jon is an incredible speaker of literature.
Marcus Burton can you explain the meaning of this poem please
Same
Words! be
sick as I am sick, swoon,
roll back your eyes, a pool,
and I’ll stare down
at my wounded beauty
which at best is only a talent
for poetry.
"Perhaps I am myself again." Hauntingly read by Don (Jon).
Guess this is the best you can get from a TV serie, ever.
«Now I am quietly waiting for the catastrophe of my personality to seem beautiful again, and interesting, and modern”. That line hits me so hard, especially after the one year of covid isolation broke me.
Aside from being an excellent series, it's also quite intelligent and literate. One of the things I absolutely loved about "Mad Men" were the various literary references peppered throughout; (Anyone remember Don reading "Portnoy's Complaint"? Brilliant!)
Also the historical references. The burning monk, the death of Marilyn Monroe, the assassinations of both JFK and Lee Harvey Oswald, and so many more. Just makes the show just that much more incredible.
The writers of the show struggled with whether they should've had a character masturbating with a piece of liver.
It’s an excellent series BECAUSE it’s intelligent and literate.
Yes I can't watch walking dead or any stupid shows after developing refined tastes like this.
Yes and Sylvia had him read dantes inferno
On the precipice of autumn. Always feels appropriate returning to this
WOW. This is THE voice. Not in terms of pitch or tembre but substance. It's moody, pillowy, brooding. Perfect.
I also like the poem. It has this "something". Uses common language and simple statements to create poetry that speaks directly of everyday experience in everyday language, poetry of urbane wit and elegance that contrasts with the pretentious works of Beatniks.
The beatniks were not pretentious. They saw visions most didn't. And they wrote about it. You, and the status quo do not see it.
@@user-sj3lf1uw9j “That's nothing like
what you do. In fact, it's miles away. I'm a language spinner, and you're an idea man…”
@@user-sj3lf1uw9j Not really, they mostly produced crappy approximations of the literary project--the mythification of America--people like Melville, Whitman and Hart Crane had already executed much better long before them. And also, it's simply hard to take adult, college-educated men LARPing as teenaged vagrants under the guise of some shoddily conceived mishmash of "spirituality" seriously. I assure you it has little to do with rebelling against the "status quo": after all, Jack Kerouac was an admitted Republican and Ginsberg an apologist for pedophilia. Hardly the stuff of revolutionary politics, or revolutionary anything.
@@afonsosousa2684 We get it, you don't like beats. you can just say that without that cringey paragraph where you pretend you have something interesting to say
@@user-sj3lf1uw9j People who hate on the beats are just hate on the beats because they are engaged in a culture war in which they view people like the beats as their enemy. You'll note that they never have anything of value to say about the the writing of the beats, but will drone on and on about how they don't like they way they dress or smell or something. Typical squares in squaresville, really.
Frank O'Hara I bow to you! Seriously who hears these words and isn't stunned. Poetry has that power!
great poetry of frank o'hara
One of my favourite scenes ... Hamm is a brilliant actor
I just lost it man, I just lost it. Wow!!! I'm glad I don't have to face anyone right away. I don't think I could do it.
Thank you for this. i'm going through a pretty rough time. really thank you
I hope all is well for you now, Hatim. Best wishes from New Hampshire.
wow, goosebumps 💜
This poem is describing Don very much.
'Perhaps I am myself again.'
That’s so lovely
Something tells me I will love season 2.
This book appears in my dream last night...😱😱😱 My friend told me ...and share this link...I'm shocked...
Mad Men Suite - David Carbonara
This series is genius
Perfect scene
I love a lot of shows, but not many have pulled off moments like this. And there are so many others...
This is maybe the coldest day of the year here.
Quite sure about that
Beautiful
Love it!
sorry to interrupt, but the essence of this clip is "what does he think of that?", sorry what do I?
This scene....
You don't seem... You are...
Thank you. :)
Love.

a very "six feet under" moment
Good poetry is for a special breed only - the mass will never understand - poetry is like a mothers smile.
Am I myself again?
No
Does anyone know what the background music orchestration is?
Deadly Lampshley mad man suite- david
Pensé que habían eliminado este video :D
I’m 30 today
Could anyone explain this poem to me?
This scene is sex in storytelling
What is he getting at? Can someone explain
True story; the author of that poem died getting run over by a dune buggy.
He sent it to who?
My favourite Mad Men scene and inspiration for my music video: th-cam.com/video/A1bleMz8aLo/w-d-xo.html
Who did he send it to? I can't remember.
Timothy Price Anna Draper, in 2x12 Don has a conversation asking her about the book and if she already read it
A beautiful voice, and a great actor, but he reads the lines of the poem naturally, when poetry is anything but. I enjoy hearing it, but it doesn't do justice to the particular rhythm evoked by the poetic line.
On the other hand, most free verse poets reading their own poetry don't do justice to their own line breaks. Which always confused me.
this means nothing
only to someone who thinks nothing
Books and poetry just aren't your speed. Stick to movies and TV, don't hurt your head, alright?
How can you be sure of that?
