Thank you for making videos like this. My wife and I are going through a separation and when I lay in bed by myself you bring my anxiety down when I listen to you.

[@freespiritwithnature4384]

Sorry, I've been through it on the female side,it's horrible. However, although I couldn't see it then, it does get better. I'm still single after 18 yrs. Some like the solitude, some dislike the loneliness. I used to be a people person, but I've become a homebody. I hope you're good to yourself. I'm here if you need a friend. Keep smiling. ❤

[@re1v3r]

Hey, hope you're doing well. God will never give you more than you can handle. 💪

My Irish grandfather, a Protestant from Dublin, knew the Yeats family. Thanks.

I'm delighted that this Canadian female has discovered this channel. I had my ancestry done ,Irish, English, French, and German . 100% European. I love all the great poets. ❤

As an Irish man living in Dublin, that was a delightful ode to my island. Slainte! ☘️

That Ireland v Scotland 6 nations final was such a great match. Scotland’s defense was heroic!

[@zacharycurrie3708]

The Lake Isle of Innisfree is the kind of poem that transports you and leaves you near breathless. You are exactly right, Malcolm, a near perfect poem, if not perfect. Only a handful of those exist. Happy St. Patrick's Day and thank God for all those singers, poets, and bards from that emerald isle! ☘️

[@anguskeenan4932]

What a contemplative and beautiful piece, I must say you are the first person to engage me in poetry, thank you.

Hello Malcolm Happy St. Patrick’s Day ☘️ Nice to see you this morning . Enjoying your video as I drink a coffee and pack a pipe with some Early Morning Pipe. Hope your visit to Texas was refreshing and enjoyable. Have a great day, Cheers

Welcome aboard!

[@bigal2696]

I appreciate your sharing of the history of Patrick, the history of poets and their poetry. It adds so much

[@tonireed4123]

How absolutely lovely!! Great job! I was in Gort at Yeat's Tor and while standing at the confluence of his two streams, this poem came to me (from him?) on the fly! Softly flowing streams sublime Let's me be on mountain high. Thou I stand on earthly ground, My spirit roams the world around. I am here and there as well, Letting my soul ring its twinkling bell. Only a thinking foul would claim to be, Bored by cloud and river free. Now am I Yeats in his sylvan vale, Thanking God for this hidden trail.

[@gw8147]

Wonderful to see you celebrating St Patrick's Day Malcolm. Love your channel, Gavin, Castletownsend, Co.Cork, Ireland.

Just lovely! Thank you so much for the wonderful reading, Malcolm. I raise a pint of Guinness along with you!

[@demo3456]

Always pain and suffering make great poetry and Ireland has seen its fair share of both.

[@reubenlahive9713]

I appreciate your wisdom which obviously derives from an insatiable curiosity. It's nice to see that, because quite a considerable amount of older individuals become bitter and lose that child-like curiosity and become magnets for drama. But to sit down, with a pipe and read some good literature in a gentlemanly manner is nice. I'm only a teenager, but I'm sure it keeps you feeling young. I'm an individual who knows a little about a lot but not a lot about any one thing in particular haha. Keep being yourself my friend.

[@PhilokaliaPhotography]

Slainte! Grateful for the saints, like Patrick, who have gone before us. The Lake Isle of Inisfree is, indeed, a near-perfect poem, and one of the first I chose to memorize on my own (for fun!) and not because it was assigned. The meter itself echoes the lapping of water, in my mind. As someone who grew up in an area known for its innumerable lakes, I also can never forget the call of the waves.

[@gravahti6375]

Happy St. Patrick's Day! I have found a new favorite way to go about my day. Your love for poetry and literature is contagious. What a gift to have found you on KZbin. Feeling blessed to start this Sabbath day with your spirit of love and happiness.

[@bettysimmons8006]

Happy St Patty’s Day sir and all who also enjoy visiting with you😘

[@FirstNameLastName-rs6qo]

A little early for a Guinness? But in all seriousness, my brother and I have a tradition of pipe smoking after church while discussing the sermon or theological matters. Today, we'll do so with a Guinness. Cheers 🍻

[@Kudu1987]

Never too early 🍀🍻

[@MillennialBro]

I adore this. What a blessing!

[@Yawnzee_]

It's never to early for a Guinness, especially when you subscribe to the idea that it's 5 o clock somewhere. 😅

Man , Malcolm - you are truly a treasure. Love your content - happy st. Patrick’s to you and the Irish. !

[@lordsauron4556]

Enjoy the day; greetings from Galway, Ireland. Of all the poets of Ireland, I find Yeats to be the most musical and in touch with the rhythms of nature. I have been to Lough Gill (on which the Lake Isle sits) and truly feel that selfsame longing and nostalgia for the rippling waves on the water and the buzzing life in the forests around that Yeats expresses in his poem. I think he captures the essence of what all lovers of nature experience when they think back on the splendour of places they have been. I don’t drink, but I raise a metaphorical glass to the spirit of Ireland and am glad that others from across the sea do so too.

[@fph2060]

Hey Malcom, i recently started taking an interest in poetry and decided to write a poem, it’s my first poem so it won’t be great but here it is. It’s called “May Christ guide me in all that I do” May Christ guide me in all that I do, for everyday, in him I am made new. I find peace in him, and so can you. Into sin I often fall, but through his sacrifice, he may forgive all. I am but a sheep led astray, but in him, I can find my way. In all times, happy or blue, it is his teachings I ought to pursue. May Christ guide me in all that I do.

[@MalcolmGuitespell]

well done, bringing it back to the opening line at the end is a good idea

[@brianheffernan8982]

Yes Yates’ poem is so well written that you realize the place he’s talking about could be anywhere you are , as it is here alone in Vermont for me but one has to make that play so.
