I feel like this time of isolation is allowing me to become more cultured as I listen to sonnets and classical literature each day. Thank you.

Wow, this guy's got talent! I hope he's recognized for it some day.

What a fantastic voice, and a wonderful reading of the sonnet, thank you

Patrick Stewart, your honeyed voice renews Shakespeare's timeless sonnets with new life. Thank you, my favorite Star Trek captain, for bringing a little light into our lives during these uncertain times.

This is inspiring. Hope I can read this at my mom's funeral, without breaking down. Rhx for posting.

@@AndreaMartinez-qu1be Thank you. Trying to feel grateful for all she gave me, and this poem helps. 💓

A poem about thinking about how you’re going to write a poem. About the writer’s consciousness before putting pen to paper. A meditation on the limitations of poetry that is, ironically, a great poem, and which ends up as an affirmation of the power of poetry to conquer even death. One that makes poetry itself a metaphor for the power of the human imagination. Extraordinary.

I love it when Captain Picard reads Shakespeare.

You are an inspiration to everybody Sir Patrick!

I so dearly, miss and love these so much! 💗

Bless you for uploading. Hearing Patrick Stewart recite these so beautifully is lifting my soul. Blessings to one and all from Berlin.

"summer's lease hath all too short a date". Good job we're immortal, with our "eternal summer's" in our souls.

i wonder why some people disliked this? this man has a great voice and reads perfectly

Imo Stewart enlivens the words with his characteristic charm but does not even try to understand and therefore can not imbue them with empathy. The entire recording above is casual and sloppily executed; showing a mutual contempt for the text and us.

He recites it with such emotion and feeling. And the couplet summarises the purpose and result of writing.👏💖

BRAVO PATRICK YOUR AWSOME

I am using various readings of this sonnet to assist me with my own reciting of it . Sadly it’s for my darling mum’s interment and I think it’s so significant to my own circumstances 💕💕🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

I'm doing the exact same thing. Don't think I'll get through without crying though, Julie Jones. Hope your reading went well.

Bless you sir!

Thank you so much, finally I understand the beauty of the sonnets fully, after having tried for 20 years. :-)) And It is so wonderful when you start again. I wish I could teach my students to try again, and again...

It's not often a poem causes me to shiver with delight... this does. Thank you, Sir Patrick. Oh, and Bill Shakespeare, of course!

Shakespeare blurs the line between speech and song, in the best possible way.

Wow, die man is goedgoedgoed, buitenaards goed. Thank you Vladimir

Beam me up, Shakespeare

4.10.20. Thank you! I'd been wondering about the book you were reading from. I enjoy listening to you do much. So good to see you. And thank you to your wife too! God bless!💖

Captain Picard quotes the last two lines in The Schizoid Man S2:E6 . I just watched it. Thank you for posting

i always thought klingons had a soft spot for shakespeare

During most of the time I was studying Shakespeare in school, I used the Folger Library's general readers' editions.

When I have plucked the rose

The last two lines definitely startled me. I felt like Shakespeare somehow tricked me into his scheme..

went on holliday with about 20 years ago when I had a girlfriend - in Ireland and there was ; and we were sitting outside a pub in the sunshine, and there was a drunken man of about 40 with his bicycle and some posessions on it : singing Pishhed again, like I was last Summer, (loudly) , like I was last day. Maybe he was trying to keep up with me

Please, Can somebody say name of the book Sir Patrick reads ??🙏

GO CAPTAIN PICARD

👀 🏀

IF Shakespeare was actually Edward de Vere, IF the Sonnets were a love-letter to his estranged son, and IF he had written 100 years later, when he did not need to keep his affair with the Queen secret... My Son, Once, in coded words, I pondered if to liken you to fleeting summer days. But now, free from mortal restraints, unshackled from society's gaze, I see clearly: You're the sun, brightening the realms of our lineage, even if history looks away. In life, I hid my love; today, in this eternal realm, it's plain to see. You were born of royal love and secret joy, Yet I was forced to cloak my love, my pride, my noble boy. The earthly summer fades; the sun may dip and roses wither, die, But here, in death, our souls remain, no longer bound to silence, nor forced to lie. Our lineage may never be written, our tale might never grace history's page, Yet, love transcends ink and paper; it is the silent script upon life's stage. So let us now, my son, embrace the light that could not shine in earthly dim, Bound not by flesh or blood, but by eternal love, a force undimmed.

"Temperant"???? Pull yourself together man!! 🤣🤣🤣
