Keats’s Ode to Psyche

I read you Keats’s great poem of enchantment and re-enchantment, and reflect a little on why we need to hear it now.

Grateful for this moment with Keats. Thank you both for the hospitality of this library. "A bright torch, and a casement ope at night, To let the warm Love in! "

[@magnoliabird]

Malcolm what a life of wonder and travel you are blessed with. You mentioned on one episode about sharing your experiences from your upbringing etc thank you for all this❤

[@jean-baptiste1834]

Thank you so much for this! I knew the story of "Amour et Psyché", I know now that I have to read Keats. English is not my native language, but the "longing for re-enchantment", for the antique and pastoral world, that is a feeling we can feel and understand in our less romantic modern society. Thank you!

[@BerndBölian]

It's still wonderful to see that there are still persons like you, which make the world better !

[@purestilton]

Just want to say thank you. I am thoroughly enjoying your videos, and learning something too. Thank you

[@doorntreader7624]

Enjoy your holiday Malcolm. 'They that go down to the sea in ships; and occupy their business in great waters; these men see the works of the Lord; and His wonders in the deep.'

[@caroledrury1411]

You reminded me that I have always loved the English and the French love of the Greeks and their influence over what seems to be the American love of the Romans. There is a vast difference and sensibility.

[@ferretwithatophat9000]

I've been watching your videos as I've been working through a 15 month non degree seminary program. I'm now considering going back to get a proper degree and going on to work as a chaplain. Thanks for all the inspiration, refreshment of the spirit, and good poems. Cheers!

[@MalcolmGuitespell]

Best of luck!

Ευχαριστούμε Μαλκομ. Απολαύστε τον εαυτό σας στα νησιά της Ελλάδας! May your journey be less eventful than Paul's or Odysseus'.

[@dougreid8869]

I’m a new follower and I am filled with HOPE as I listen. Your passion passes through the digital signals and rests gently upon our listening ears. Thank you, a ministering angel to dull the daily sharpness of my beloved American culture.

[@TruckinPiperBob]

Thank you, Malcolm. Keats and you are correct. We are in need of the ability to embrace more.

Enjoy your holiday Malcolm! My Irish family have an unexpected history with Greece, with a great uncle having sailed there, and another (Bruce Clark) recently publishing ‘Athens:City of Wisdom’.

[@SennyMarshall]

[@RichardChartier-n5b]

Dear Mr. Guite, another letter from me and this one won't fail you. I thought of a treaure of a book it is The history of America from 1600-1900 starting with the English in Vaginia and the Algonquins, moving to the Colonists and the Nothern Territory with the Expansion of 1750's-1770's and further on...

[@11Bravo84]

Have a great holiday Malcom!❤

[@jat2319]

Any trips or presentations in Yorkshire any time soon Malcolm? Would love to swing by!

[@MalcolmGuitespell]

not scheduled at the moment but I'll try to put the word out if I do

[@jat2319]

@@MalcolmGuitespell Thanks Malcolm. Would love if you could keep us KZbin folks updated on any local speeches.

[@dakotanelson5722]

Safe travels on your odyssey, my friend

[@thedreadtyger]

Don't sail with Odysseus! He makes it home, but... Come to think of it, given St Paul's record of shipwrecks you might give that ship a miss as well. But if a young man with only one sandal offers you a berth , take it!

[@wildandbarefoot]

I just found you Malcolm. I was looking to find Omar Khayyams wisdoms... An Olympic cruise.... My old Guru, Micky Burn, (author) had that in his bucket list too. You have an Oxford accent, to my ear. Are you back yet from the conflagrations ?

Sailing FROM Byzantium ;)

[@cameronshorkey843]

Greeting from Colorado Springs! Ha! I forgot that I had posted this (and then just saw your video yesterday about your new article of the same title. Glad to be on a similar page.) I hope your trip was a joy.

[@nealgarner6431]

What was your first book you read

[@MalcolmGuitespell]

not sure but probably Beatrix Potter the Tale of Squirrel Nutkin

[@stgildas1]

Hé could have made it longer! ( I hope you Enyoyed your greek odyssée) I have sailed that sea. " Flying fish , and fish of Sword. Rocks awash with surf . Thé black water drawes thé mind".❤ D. Laws.xxxxx

[@Wolkenbruch7]

First🎉

[@dakotanelson5722]

Congratulations my friend

[@Wolkenbruch7]

Thank You!

[@abbasalchemist]

Instead of sailing to Byzantium, you'll be saying from Byzantium. May God bless you on your journey to the Orient and the god-filled land of Hellas.

[@matthewwalker7359]

Malcom I dont know if you will read this. And I don’t know if you read this, if it will mean anything to you. I don’t want to be disingenuous and proclaim some superlative to describe the emotions I find in what you present, and in your personal interpretations on it I am far from perfect. I am far from reformed. As I write this I am influenced by the elevation of alcohol. But I feel genuine when I say this- That you are not an answer but a path. You’re not hidden lagoon, you’re the tributaries that feed it. Im not going to say that you turned my life around in an instance. But I will say that if the world were filled with more thoughtful, and considerate to emotions, as you are… that I never would have had my problems in the first place You are not an answer. You are a reminder. And you are one of the special people whether it is through chance or synchronicity that affects people he touches in a better way. The best energy of all is not diminished. It’s strengthened when it is shared. The bane of tesla ;)

[@matthewwalker7359]

I am sorry for my grammatical errors. I do not want to sound uninformed I only write the best of how I know to. You have inspired me to want to learn more about my choice of words As a young man I did not understand the impact of the spoken word. As an older man I still do not.

[@MalcolmGuitespell]

thanks Matthew I'm glad my little spells in the library have been so helpful to you

[@wildandbarefoot]

Are you back yet from your Olympic Cruise.. will you ever be... completely?

[@MalcolmGuitespell]

good question perhaps a part of me will always be sailing the wine-dark sea!

[@ElzevereBlock]

I wish you and your fellow travellers an enjoyable holiday Malcolm. Don't forget it's raging hot down there at the moment so drink drink drink.....water all the time.
