Listening to The Hollow Men almost on a loop these days.
So, I felt like sharing with you too…
There’s so much to say about this poem, but my every word fails against listening to it in silence with eyes closed.
Try it.
P.s. the video is a bit trippy, only listen to it.
Thanks for posting this. It was amazing!

The words are compelling but the voice saying them did not inspire me. I wonder who else has spoken it . . .

I just checked out YouTube and Jeremy Irons speaks it beautifully and Marlon Brando in, I think Apocalypse Now, performs it very well. Eerily so. You might want to check them out.
