King Arthur (Recited by Alan Rickman)

Idylls of the King - The Passing of Arthur:
"But, as he walked, King Arthur panted hard,
Like one that feels a nightmare on his bed
When all the house is mute. So sighed the King,
Muttering and murmuring at his ear, "Quick, quick!
I fear it is too late, and I shall die."
But the other swiftly strode from ridge to ridge,
Clothed with his breath, and looking, as he walked,
Larger than human on the frozen hills.
He heard the deep behind him, and a cry
Before. His own thought drove him like a goad.
Dry clashed his harness in the icy caves
And barren chasms, and all to left and right
The bare black cliff clanged round him, as he based
His feet on juts of slippery crag that rang
Sharp-smitten with the dint of armed heels--
And on a sudden, lo! the level lake,
And the long glories of the winter moon."

The music and drumming were absolutely not necessary. Alan's voice; alone, was powerful enough to get his point across.

I regularly watch all his movies… so to me he’s still very alive!

[@PatricaMarden]

I live on the cliff above king Arthur's castle in Cornwall he reads it beautifully ❤❤❤

[@grachiepernosa588]

I think the music as background is interesting but should've been lower in order to better listen the extraordinary voice of Alan. Nice Mr.Rickman images ....he was so attractive! Still missing this gifted actor.

[@Himaryous]

Can't hear him over the music.

[@snowangel3223]

I don't know; I think I like the drums/music chosen for this video. They draw attention to the mood of the piece Alan is reading: it is about a king...King Arthur. Drums and music at that time heralded all a king did, wherever he went. They announced his arrival and emphasized that the attention of all present needed to be focused on the royalty in their presence. Alan's voice and the drums/music work very well together here, for we are listening to one who commands attention, just like a king would. It's not difficult to imagine Alan in that role.

The King is dead...long live the King! 🙏🏻💔🙏🏽

[@elinannestad5320]

I LOVE the music with the poem. Perfecto. In ancient times, poetry came with music. It is right for Arthur.

❤ Fabulous ❤

[@TheGreatVictorNewman]

Alan's not dead....he's just sleeping until Jesus comes.

[@Hannelle84]

Now he's Metatron ;-)

[@joellecerfoglia202]

He's not dead, he's not sleeping, he's live and well in the afterlife!

[@TheGreatVictorNewman]

@@joellecerfoglia202 So long as that after life ain't walking around here after being dead I'm cool with it. Otherwise I'd have a bone to pick with him for leaving me to have to watch crap movies while he vacations. (You know like Prince when he became his drug head sister...all of the sudden.)

[@FriedEggsWithChips]

I could have done without the overloud drums interfering. I had to go back and re-listen to some parts, couldn't hear the quieter words.

Drums were fitting to the recital of "King

If he understood the fundamentals of scripture, he will be with him already. 'To be absent from the body is to be present with the lord.' You close your eyes here and open them there. I hope Alan is there as my husband is. It's been only a month, but time means nothing there.

ruined by the music

[@NicholsFan]

Why do you have that annoying music in the background? I want to hear his voice not that music. :(

[@BlahBlah-xp9dy]

I didn't like the background music at all. I just want to hear his voice!!! If you want to put some background music, then make the volume low, for goodness sake

[@lindafuller6118]

Which version?

[@nyc88s]

The music is hideous on this video. Ruins the poetry completely.

[@drmorjulio]

Can't hear shit
