Some poetry is more 'confusing' than others -- i.e. requires more reading into or connecting with than others. But by and large you get better at 'understanding' poetry as your read more of it. Not every one will necessarily click with you, and sometimes you might come across a poem that is completely baffling at one point of time in one mood, but is utterly sublime in another.

@velveteyes79 Yeah, believe what you want. I like to think acting is a form of art. To me, each actor creates their own interpretation of the script and in the act of doing so, they're creating something original themselves. Hence the term, 'performing arts'. To be a great actor, you need originality, emotion, creativity and imagination. What's not artistic about that? Her acting style is original to me, like many other great actors. Children act as a part of lying so that they can get what they want. Actors act in theatres to impress people. You go to a gallery to be impressed by an artist's work. What's the difference? I don't know why you're so against this notion.. but you and I disagree. Deal done.

Already my favourite colour so I'm halfway there, never heard that poem somehow despite studying English Literature at university, do like it very much, even more so when read by Helena.

she has such a soothing voice. i love when she reads poetry.

I really like this poem by Emily Dickinson called "I felt a Funeral, in my Brain". It's not a very happy poem but it definitely takes me somewhere else. Here it is: I felt a Funeral, in my Brain, And Mourners to and fro Kept treading - treading - till it seemed That Sense was breaking through - And when they all were seated, A Service, like a Drum - Kept beating - beating - till I thought My mind was going numb - And then I heard them lift a Box And creak across my Soul With those same Boots of Lead, again, Then Space - began to toll, As all the Heavens were a Bell, And Being, but an Ear, And I, and Silence, some strange Race, Wrecked, solitary, here - And then a Plank in Reason, broke, And I dropped down, and down - And hit a World, at every plunge, And Finished knowing - then -

It's a true tribute to her genius artistry that within the first few words and her quick glance at the camera she was the person in the poem... And I felt it...

I love the poem ‘When I grow old I shall wear purple...’ it brings to mind the human condition and how webbed we are in gossip that we should wait to old age to wear purple. Because when all is said and done people believe what they hear and they judge you on it even when they’ve never met you.

She's such a brilliant woman!

I could listen to her read poetry all day with that beautiful accent.

It’s beautiful the fondness with which this man looks at Helena. I loved hearing her read these poems, particularly Milne’s poem, as I have a six year old and love him at this stage! I agree with another comment here, a collection of children’s stories read by hbc would be incredible ❤️

06:48 "The End" by A. A. Milne. When I was One, I had just begun. When I was Two, I was nearly new. When I was Three, I was hardly me. When I was Four, I was not much more. When I was Five, I was just alive. But now I am six, I'm as clever as clever So I think I'll be six now Forever and ever. Ps. Somebody remember what The Architect said to Neo? That he was the Six.

Btw I'm still kinda young n started 2 wear 'purple' already n guess wanna ppl 2b not 'too shocked' later;-) Helena reads it beautifully n her cute perfectionism after reading 'i cld actually read it much better' or sthg like that awww cuuute. When SHE's old I bet she'll behave gracefully n not ridicule herself with lifting n stuff. She's so natural that's such a good n rare example those days. Well...when I'm old I hope I'll have enough coins for a doctor lol;-) So my growing old will sure b graceful n 'natural' too:-))) Love Helena! Brilliant!
