I love this! What a nice dialogue between now and then :)
Very nice!!
Worth of words. 😊
Nice 👍
Lol, even the gread Wordworth didn't make enough space for his full name lke the rest of us.
Appreciate it!
Such a beautiful film!
You should've slanted great god and pagan to make them rhyme idk if that how it was originally but that just sounds cooler
I really enjoyed this. What is the background music piece?
I would love to go, it is exactly the sort of place that interests me, but I am too far away. Perhsps next year.
Isnt the 2nd to last line go "Have sight of Proteus rising from the sea" instead of coming out of the sea?
I hate this

Really Wonderful Reading....but Please 📣📣📣📣 make the Volume HIGHER !
Magical 🙏
Good to see, Sir Poet laureate
Thank you.
A very insightful and enthralling video..thanks all
Very poignant and so well presented, thank you.
That was beautifully rendered. So glad to have heard your poem.
Thank you for this video, this was very interesting. I am interested in going in to being a museum curator and a lot of the videos on youtube about being a curator are quite lengthy and this video was perfect, clear and quick. Thanks a lot!
As a friend of the late Dr. Christopher Maycock this is wonderful tribute.
That accent - transcendent. I don't think I've ever known any poem so beautifully recited. The visuals beautiful and the most perfect captioning. A great unpretentious poem, maybe one of the most perfect in the English literary canon.

Treasured memories. Well worth a visit. It has been 15 years for me, but I want to visit again. Greetings from California.
So lovely to see the Cal Poly English majors featured here in this gorgeous video!
Nice
The norwegian band Prudence (1969-1975) composed music to William Wordsworth's "Lines Written in Early Spring" and they called it "What Man Has Made of Man" and was released in 1972 on their debut album "Tomorrow May Be Vanished". The record label Polydor made a mistake back then and composer/singer Åge Aleksandersen has tried to correct it ever since, William Wordsworth was not credited as songwriter Musically, Prudence is a mix of Jethro Tull and The Band with hints of Deep Purple, Bob Dylan and Jimi Hendrix czcams.com/video/uLc-bcxNmWc/video.html
Excellent video! Thank you so much for this wonderful explanation of the conversations happening behind the poetry
beautiful
I have posted a paper, "Elizabeth Barrett Browning's Plagiarism of Mathew Franklin Whittier," which is downloadable at the following link. It can also be found by searching on the title on Academia.edu. www.ial.goldthread.com/MFW_EBB.pdf
My man Nick Makoha.
I was confused about the pronunciation of 'sate' Is that a pun or just the old spelling of sat?
Beautifully done--a fascinating discussion that captures many of the most important points of Polly's new book(s). Thanks for sharing.
A Sublime Reading Of Wordsworth’s Greatest Poem.......I’d really like to hear you read Shelleys “ The Question “ 🌷
Volume Inaudible !!!!!! PLEASE FIX .....
Just a Tad More Microphone Volume ! .....Please......Thanks !
Beautiful Reader......Magical !!!!!…………More Please !!!!!.....You And Wordsworth Make This World Better Place !
Thanks to the Trust and especially Pamela Woof for a splendid hour of reflections about Dorothy Wordsworth. Pamela's talk has all the qualities of her subject: a language of feeling, of painterly concreteness, of naturally patient perception that beholds every nuance. Just lovely.
Thank you that was wonderful
So illuminating .....
👌👌👌👌👌
You may notice an extra pair of hands popping up on screen! We had a couple of issues with the camera focusing on the night, and Curator Melissa Mitchell has filmed new video footage for those sections. The speakers' audio continues as normal.
As a Yorkshire woman, I always laugh when people such as narrators or actors, give a regional accent to their portrayal of educated people. William and Dorothy and Samuel would have been well spoken; there is NO WAY that a man could enter Oxford or Cambridge universities by using a regional accent and grammar school children would be well spoken and not have regional accents! The same applies to Patrick Bronte who was also a Cambridge student. Even today, strong regional accents in Oxbridge interviews will not be an asset. I hear this from parents and young people in 2021.
lovely. thank you
Excellent recitation... 😍😍
Awesome love William and Dorothy Wordsworth
Beautiful!
Well worth a visit, and Simon Armitage is a stellar poet.
