Well done! I'm teaching this poem to Chinese students. I'm from a country which I cannot call free. I wish these values were universal.

Thank u so muchh

I am an English Teacher. Teaching R&J to Year 9 and this is the best video analysis. Excellent analysis. Your delivery helps to emphasise important and significant elements in the prologue.

Simply impressive

I am form Bangladesh. It is very beautiful

Wonderful black marbles you have given by the Creater

I don't know why it is but when a woman tells this poem it means so much more that when a man does. It's like a mother is saying it to his son and teaching him to be man . 😊

Excellent!!!!

"Be quiet , just shut up"😂😂 hilarious❤

Well put

It's still so relevant today

JC... What a load of Crap this diatribe is. So pompous. So grandiose. So full of toffee and nuts God Almighty Lord... Heaven help us all. Can I buy ya all another cup of kool-aid.

What are the twin cities in this poem?

Very well performed.

The temporary nature of human authority was a great contrast to art.

Nice video, great interpretation of the "Mother of Exiles" and what America is about

You're AMAZING!!! Please make other videos about literary passages of English literature!

I almost shed a tear. I’m a true, homegrown American patriot, and I absolutely love this take on what America is all about.This really can be the land of opportunity if we allow it to be.

Thank you for the analysis. I disagree with your take on the mocking part. Apart from from the widely accepted definition of "to mock" meaning "to tease or laugh in a scornful manner", there is a more archaic use of "to mock", meaning "to make a replica or an imitation of something". "The hand that mocked them" in this sense is simply the sculptor's hand, which replicated those emotions in stone. In addition to the above, calling Ozymandias, or Ramses II, who was arguably the greatest Pharaoh in the history of Egypt, an "ass" is a strange statement, and presentism at best. The Pharaoh who was called the Great Ancestor by those who came after him, had the full right to place whatever inscriptions he wanted on his pedestals, be it from vanity or whatever other reason. The tragedy is that even greatness and seemingly eternal things go into oblivion, not that he was an "ass".

Interesting interpretation, thank you. I believe that the recital could be taken to another level if the following is taken into account. 1. The poem is written in iambic pentameter, which should not be ignored. Increasing the speed a bit and changing some of the stress points will help with that. 2. Visage should be pronounced /ˈvɪzɪdʒ/. 3. Ozymandias is pronounced as four syllables O - zy - man - dyas, and not O - zy - man - die - us. In this particular line, the stress in the beginning is not on "My" but on "name". Similarly in the next line, place the stress on "on" instead of "look". 4. "Nothing" is actually "No thing" in the original, which immediately improves the rhythmic structure.

i detect the hint of a northern accent there. (love the give-away pronunciation-"says", nothing, everythinK)-Great job!

good read girl-thankyou!!!! You are on a hard journey-but believe enough, and you will get there. Best of luck. ;-)

If If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you, If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too; If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, Or being lied about, don't deal in lies, Or being hated, don't give way to hating, And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise: If you can dream -- and not make dreams your master; If you can think -- and not make thoughts your aim; If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster And treat those two impostors just the same; If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools, Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken, And stoop and build'em up with worn-out tools: If you can make one heap of all your winnings And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss, And lose, and start again at your beginnings And never breathe a word about your loss; If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew To serve your turn long after they are gone, And so hold on when there is nothing in you Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!" If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, Or walk with Kings -- nor lose the common touch, If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you, If all men count with you, but none too much; If you can fill the unforgiving minute With sixty seconds' worth of distance run, Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it, And -- which is more -- you'll be a Man, my son! Заповедь (Перевод М. ЛОЗ

Removing the poem from its historical context is a grievous (categorical thinking) error. That revolving door (with broken spindles) America is gone. The new message is 'this is our attempt, our self-made provisions, our constitution, our symbols...' Copy/refine those to achieve the mindset that got us this far. America is now nothing more than an example. Europe is/was the previous golden land and the conflicts to establish societies there led to cultures of literacy, printing, education, Science, technology, innovation, industrialisation that eventually reached out to uncover the dark remaining planet. Right or wrong. Irreversible. Write your own damn poem. Include your own damn use-by date. When you grow your own politically-correct pedants press reset. Or History will do it for you (Tytler cycle).

Emma's sonnet is especially prophetic, poignant and uplifting after 1/20/2021 in America! The new Colossus, the Feminine, Ying energy has to take over in this age of Aquarius or else humanity will be doomed by the hatred ,the straddled, the divisive old Colossus!!T4P!

What is the effect of Having “is now the two hours traffic of our stage” it reestablishes such a powerful play to be a mere production and I don’t understand the use of reminding the audience that it just a tale

Wow, finally I found passionate British reading.😉😉🌞🌞🌞🌞😛😛✌️ Ty for much for this pleasure!

Incredible. You really spoke to me. Thank you.

I thought it was for a campaign to build the pedestal?

so good

you look very nice in this particular video

Excellent reading!

Good I liked your explanation from the heart ❤❤❤

I love yout commentary. I hope you start making videos again.

thank u beautiful lady

When I think Ozymandias I feel pity for him. He represents the struggle of humans and the need to control and become strong and powerful so that we may feel like we can become something more than ourselves, something of worth. Even after reaching that pinnacle the sand of time washes away everything he fought for along with his memory. The ultimate fate waiting for all of us. That was always my first impression at least. I’m no expert.

Very well read, with heart and soul -- thank you! One of the finest poems that was written recently
