I have listened to several readings of this magnificent poem. Sir David Suchet (Hercule Poirot) delivers a memorable and perfect recitation. His enunciated words, perfect pauses, respect for caesura, and varying the intonation pulled out the meaning of the poem. He highlighted the harshness in cacophonic sounds, softened the tenderness in soft words, and infused the actual meanings in the words. I teach poetry, and joy settled in my soul after this immersion. A deep and uncontrollable sigh arose from me at the end. Thank you.

I have heard others read this including Johnathan Roumie (possibly incorrect spelling) and Richard Burton but they didn't do such a great job. I loved the dynamics of Suchet's reading style. This was beautifully done. Really good

Adult convert to RCC. And every verse is a chapter in my journey. Run as fast as you will, the path turns upon itself like Mobius strip, it turns to Him.

Now this is how it should be read. Burton was horrible. Suchet? A masterpiece deserves such elocution.

I clicked on Burton's before I found this one. I only heard one or two minutes before I closed it out and then I found Suchet's... a masterful rendering!

Even though I have written that this poet was the Ripper I cannot never deny Thompson was a genius of a poet. A fantastic reading of Thompson’s Hound of Heaven!

Burton not only had to fit it into an album track, he obviously didn't feel the content, and a good to excellent chance he was intoxicated to some degree.

And the very idea that he was Jack the Ripper is ludicrous anyway of course. You could make out a better case for him being Chairman Mao.@@patestos3928
