May 8, 2012 - One of the best poems ever

May 4, 2012 - The line from the text is; 'Do you see my love? I am failing, flagging." I prefer that, also, the two separate verses in this rendition are in the opposite order in the book, I prefer that too. However, I am fully blown away by the combination of clips and Rufus Sewell's phenomenal performance.

Mar 13, 2012 - The way he says "appalling" [ 0:59 ] really hits me hard - as his voice cracks, the raw emotion of fear and bereavement pours through and makes me want to cry. Everytime I hear this stunning piece of poetry. Everytime.
