Jeremy Irons - The Hunting of the Snark (an Agony in 8 Fits)

Jeremy Irons reads Lewis Carroll's famous nonsensical poem. The plot follows a crew of ten trying to hunt the Snark, which may turn out to be a highly dangerous Boojum. The poem is dedicated to young Gertrude Chataway, whom Carroll met at the English seaside town Sandown in the Isle of Wight in 1875.

    "Keeping healthy and keeping safe" - then he has a drag on a roll up. Pure magic...

    It is not nonsense. It is quite supreme advice.

    This poem isn't nonsense at all.

    A wonderful and captivating reading, only enhanced, I think, by the unusual online format - it seemed almost as if Jeremy Irons was reading just for me. I can't help but think that this surreal poem is strangely pertinent to these times, when everything feels slightly off and unfamiliar yet is still able to be interesting and illuminating nonetheless. Let's just hope that a Boojum doesn't make that quality of day-to-day life disappear.

    If you close your eyes and listen, you can see scar talking, which makes sense because he played that character

    Jeremy must be a bit lonely now his main challenger in wonderful English speaking accent, Alan Rickman, who I still have a mad passion for....is (sniff!) now (slight sob) is now (subtle catch in throat) GONE!!!! (loud weeping and wailing!!!!!) tis true. I loved both Irons in "Brideshead Revisited" and in many other fillums.
