Wow! What a poem at the end! It made me appreciate again the gifts of the season and to really think of it as a blessing. The trees are revealed. Much to dwell on and ponder. Many many thanks. 👏🏻❤️

Love your poetry and your faith. Also love your readings of Tolkien and your Arthurian poetry.

To discover this wonderful Gandalf/ Poet/ Seer at 80 is pure bliss for someone who loves imagination. I imagine every time I compose music, but the words underlying this exercise are always lacking... not now. Can hardly wait to read Shakespeare again. It's not often that someone my age gets a new lease on life. Malcolm's mind and communicative energy, his love for poetry and God is a gift I could barely repay.

This is gorgeous

Too many ads!

The Gospel of John is a plagiarism of the Corpus Hermeticum.

Apprehend is grabbing something with your hand. Comprehend with your mind. The juxtaposition of the heavens and the tactile. Cheers, J

Malcolm has ignited a burning love of poetry in me. Such an amazing, inspiring human being.

This is a brilliant delivery of a subject sorely lacking today. Thank you for your energy and effort!

A modern day Walt Whitman! Lovely gentleman!

I really enjoyed this thank you I just started getting in to poetry

Malcom wow thanks so much,,,,,, imagination bodies fourth,,, I'm an advocate for Shakespeare, a tour guide at the SNP Prescot I love the combined subjects looking at theology philosophy history and poetry I also love Fydor Dostoyevski,, Lakin Dylan, err you wonderfully bring all these subjects together yes Shakespeare it's brilliant and thanks again for all this philosophy in poetry ❤😂

Amazing analogy about window and icon

ive just become to see Malcom reading a philip Larkin and have been hooked he really is a great person very interesting I would like to get some of his work

I enjoyed this immensely. I would love to hear your thoughts on Blake's view of connection between the creative process and religion. Jacob's Ladder is one of my favourite pieces of Art from Blake, and much of your commentary on the imagination brought to mind Blake's poetry and artwork.

You astound

You have captured so well my love for the sonnet form. I really like your fable about Window and Icon! Isn't "spell" also the word for story in the Anglo-Saxon? You may be seeing some comments from me on some of your older videos, like this one-- For me, watching your videos is drinking sweet water from a newly discovered well.

Brilliant. Malcolm has a way of communication that helps the viewer or muse gain ones inner peace. He is a master of the old ways and is an inspiration to so many. The words, the pipe-smoke, the air, the voice, the tweed coat and the Hobbit vest bring together a magical bit of time to step away from today's madness. He is a treasure. God Bless.

YOUR POTETRY IS JAMMING MY MACHINE!

You're the first one I've heard mentioning the Imaginative Apprehension in over 50 years since I read of it in a Harper's magazine.

Greetings from Minnesota USA. This was wonderful.

Interesting, He mixed Shakespeare's Sonnet 29 with Sonnet 30. Did he realize this or did he misremember? Or more likely, I didn't understand his talk. lol. Love the idea of words being redeemed and redeeming him. Then thought of Jesus being called The Word. The Redeemer, The Word, The Christ.

Great & worthy. Many thanks for this interview.

Malcolm you are a living anachronism.

Great video. Is there a part 2 or a continuation? If not. Liked it!

Incandescent. Thank you, Malcolm.

"Gaucho" is one of the best albums ever made and is all drum machine.

"It looks more like an Indian god than a photocopier" killed me.

Just lovely. Thank you so much for the teachings and the poety readings, dear Malcom.

My mom had found some of my poetry I wrote as a teen, and showed me when I visited for Thanksgiving in 2023. I read it, and was amazed at how good it was. That was revealing for me....I have discounted myself and my creative abilities over the years, had it "beat" out of me by my job and significant others which should not have been so significant. I have been much more introspective lately, and I know I will soon go back to who I really am and was created to be. Thank you for posting Malcom's talk to your channel, he has been so inspiring for me.

I am from South Africa

Yes, I agree! I just listened to his reflection on CS Lewis. What depths of inspired wisdom...

I love that you embrace the mystery of God. The argument is not the proof when it remains a mystery and to be seen as so

53 years of trying to understand poetry and all I needed was 39 minutes listening to Malcolm. Thank you.

What a poetic way of writing a poem, asking of the friends of the words one has in mind, brilliant. I've written and write loads of poems and never thought to do it this way.

Wow, I love your wisdom. I am a musician and i feel like I have gotten so much out of this, thank you and God Bless you in Jesus name!

36:12 Who is George Habado? I couldn’t find him on the web. I’m probably spelling his name incorrectly.

great videos , we love them and thank you for sharing and explaining we really enjoyed it, have a great weekend sir. and we subbed you.

Malcolm, this is my poem about romantic love that Williams might have liked. Your Word Your Word it washes over me spreading waves of Heaven’s reality, and in what seems to be only a change of my mind, I find I am part of disassembled time. How slowly the lamplight seems to pass on by, as one continuous procession of light, before my unguarded wondering eyes. So wrapped inside this blissful feeling your Word has raised in me, the reason for its boundless being I only now begin to see. My silence holds the Truth - the Christ I feel in thee - your Word is seeding Rapture that blooms inside of me. And so I sit and watch golden mists of light as we ride by and I find, that we are one indivisible part, of God Who is ever our Word . . our Love . . Divine.

Thank you Saint-Martin-in-the-Fields! Thank you, Poet Malcolm!

Great interview!!!

So, did you do a sermon on your own way of coping with the trauma and loss of the murder of your fellow priests in the Solomon Islands?

I found a page which mentioned the murder of the priests that you referred to but I couldn't paste the link to it.

Lots of music for us - thank you!

Not since high school some 50 years ago have I heard anything close to this. Where have I been! I feel welcome back. With encouragement like this, I might try my hand at some lines. ❤️💙

This will help me in my songwriting. Thanks, years later.

“ underlying patterns” speak to my heart of the heartbeat of all creation…and perhaps, as a little book once taught me, it leads me to listen for the “Heartbeat of God”.

Superb!

You make my soul smile 🙂

Magnifique merci de ce moment de grâce partagé...🙏
