The music is way Too loud!
My most greatest poem
Gorgeous poem and gorgeously read by Mr Gambon
Beautifully read .
OH I love this.
He's almost singing the verse.
So beautiful ❤
Peace full place
Osm..... Amazing 🤩🤩
The words of a master, read by a master. Beautiful.
Such great poetry does not need loudly intrusive music, and certainly not a rendering in which the metre of the verse is held up between lines. A shame to misuse a great actor.
I love this poem and his reading of it
Love this poem and his reading of it
"Dumbledoore said calmly"
That was magical.
I have also heard this sang by Christy Moore. Beautiful❤
The frame loud glade ... C’mon man ... that frame thing ruins the mood
Very wonderful ! bangladesh
It’s the west of Ireland, not far from Sligo town ...
Damn, my son! Beautifully read! This was an invocation of a poetry spell!
Great poem. Greatest poet.
Genius is a word attributed to all kinds of mediocrity nowadays. Listen to the words of WB Yeats and understand what genius really is.

Words which stop the day or night,
One of the most beautiful poems ever. And what a perfect rendering!
The bindings are sadly quite plain and droll. And the marbled paper looked to be the cheaper paper from France. I would expect a Yeats book this special would be using uniquely Irish materials like griffin mills paper and locally produced Irish marbled paper. This project missed the mark sadly.
Quite suitable for O’Bama and O’Biden then.
Golden apples of the sun.
Great poem and animation.
La Belleza existe, no nos conformemos con menos, no caigamos en lugares comunes y estulticias.
Beauty exists. Let us not be satisfied with less. Let's not fall into common and ignorant places.
Anyone know what the soundtrack is?
Wow. Just wow. Would love to hear Yeats' "The Withering of the Boughs" read by him.
Beautiful ...
Sublime
Marvellous
Love the reading, love the music, love the images
Devastating oh wow
Is my tear not but a contradiction, to those who claim no wonder hides within our cardinal design? Thank you for this,
I close my eyes and hear professor Dumbledore.

Ed Ram I close my eyes & hear Wandering Aengus.
Beautiful
wow!...just wow!!
Beautiful
Beautifully well done!!! Thank you!
cannot detach Dumbledore from this voice.
Music could be more subdued. The reading could be less dramatic. I know Yeats would agree. If you disagree...then fuck off.
I agree.
I agree; the music is very intrusive.
anonymous strong words for someone who will not be visible--where is the courage
How magical
iluninatti confirmed, his hands are making a triangle
Agra ahon
this is beautiful .
Doctor Who recites this in The Leftovers. That scene sent shivers down my spine.
stunning
...this is how it ends. Poetic, inevitable and final. I was lucky to come back, after I heard my name called out, followed by a fade-to-grey. There is a lady whom I have and will always meet, from life to life. She has always forgiven me.
Beautifully read by a dubliner.
franco sixtynine Yes, that’s as it may be, but he doesn’t sound like a Dubliner.
I was about to say the truth. But the truth came first...... There is no Irish voice in him....
And a Cabra man at that. ❤
