No words to describe the genius of this man and how sorely he is missed ❤ I write this on 13.04.2023, Hitch would have celebrated his 74th birthday today
i could listen to Hitch read anything, like Morgan Freeman, what a voice.
Hitchens, the world's first asmr guy
15:34
This is even more wonderful and poetic in the original.
(Ihr Aber lernet wie Mann sieh start stiert
Und handlet start zu reden noch und noch)
So was hätt einmal fast die Welt regiert
Die Völcker wurden seiner Herr yedoch
Das keiner uns zu früh da triumphiert
Der Shcoz ist fruchtbar noch aus dem das kroch.
I cannot thank enough the uploader. As much of Hitchens as ive read, he never mentioned Wilfred Owen, but this - THIS - got me there, and now i can and forever will he able yo recite it.
Thank you for making this video. What a spectacular compilation of a truly remarkable man. A thoroughly enjoyable watch!
He doesn't really have the metre at all. And I think I spotted Maggie.
Master rhetorician and polymath, there is only one Hitchens, my inspiration, my hero I love Christopher he lives 4ever.
Thank the Hitches parents that they did what they did at the time they did it(you know what i mean) to give us the ability to watch him again and again in the here and now.❤
Thank you for the work you put in to make this compilation. Thank you.
Thanks for the upload I wish he was still around I'd love to hear what he'd say about the state of play now .
14:48 "we never thought, I think many of us, how soon we'd have to earn this great title of honor for ourselves... but we were warned."
minus the volume going from whispering to yelling, awesome!
Lulz! Oh, Hitch... I miss ya, buddy. :-(
best mins of my life i love him. I hope I'm not the only one who finds him sexy
No way. He is sexy for many reasons :)
Wonderful thanks!
Thank you for this. Perfect.
Excellent mix. Thank you
4:22 *thing* I think has been altered for the radio lol
brilliant collection!
How did you not include his recitation of An Irish Airman Forsees His Death? It is one of his best
I came here for that poem.
Does anyone know where I can find Hitch reciting Yeats' Easter 1916
I am no conesseur of poetry, but some of these were great. The fox and the rooster I think it was was great. I do lo e a witty limericks though
fantastic
9:20. That baby was a lucky duck.
3:58 That lady has a strange voice and also doesn't get the joke.
Sonnet 29, read it.
Does anyone remember the pacifism poem he read ones, it's on the tip of my tongue, by St Edna or someone with St in the name it goes something something I will do not for death

4:34 Is that a Dambusters reference?
Which debate/performance does 15:18 belong to?
I´m not entirely sure, if you´re still searching: www.c-span.org/search/?sdate=&edate=&searchtype=Videos&sort=Least+Recent+Airing&text=0&personid%5B%5D=2977
It´s a collection of all his appearances on c-span.
Google "Hitchens on the twentieth century."
If you mean the play, it is "Der aufthaltsame Aufstieg des Arturo Ui" in some translation.
Hitchens, unlike Auden never resolved his ambivalence politically or sexually.
He didn't appear to like a total answer to anything he seems to have been able to handle the constant change that other humans appear to be very afraid of.
which is the hallmark of a true intellectual and humanist
THE ENGLISH UNPURE I BELIEVE THIS MAN SUIDAE NICE COMEDIAN AND GOOD JOCKER.AND THOSE WHO LAUGH,BELONGS TO FARROW DULLARD.(FROM.A.RICHARD PAUL CHAUDARY.PREACHER AND POET.INDIAN
Is this somehow supposed to make Hitchens appear "intelligent"? Oh brother.
No, he just likes poetry and people like his voice
Well, it does make him look very intelligent mate.
Make a compilation of you reciting poetry scotty boy and we can judge how smart you are
This is not poetry. Limericks are a type of rhyme and these are rhymes for dirty old men.
They are quite literally defined as a form of humorous poem.
Are poems not poetry? Are circles not shapes? Are cats not felines?
What a terribly silly thing to say.
this is a very disappointing video
