Beautiful voice wow

[@dewimacomber]

I just love to hear Tom voice , so relaxing ♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@sallydillon4740]

Gawd what a voice! Too bad he didn’t read it in French. I had to do that in College. Tom’s voice combined with the most romantic language of all, HEAVEN!

This makes my weird philosophy class worth every penny

What a gorgeous, emotionally rich poem, and Hiddleston brought it to life so perfectly it sent shivers down my spine. Thank you for this.

[@nibbleniks2320]

This is exquisite.

[@chuckkespert353]

Thank you, Tom. Each word a savored morsel.

[@cutzymccall7675]

So excited to find this! Proust AND Tom. How “exquisite”!

KZbin algorithm suggested this to me yesterday of all days... this reflection on the pang of memory of a long passed time on the anniversary of a tragic loss of mine. Were it any other voice but this one, I may not have felt the meaning of these words on this day of days. It was like a message from the other side... honoring my fading memories of my dear departed one. Thank you for posting this.

Proust or Hiddleston?

[@chanyoke7585]

A beautiful poem read just as lovely liken Tom Hiddleston!👍

[@trinhcongdieuhuongtran4545]

That last poem got me to think about a cup of hot tea. It has been a while since I had some tea, cake, and sweet cacao. You do know how to make people drool. Don't you... 💙

[@skippymagrue]

This is a beautiful description of what happened to the food critic in Ratatouille.

[@georgedendulk3657]

But, this exact scene of the book, is the inspiration of what happened to the food critic in Ratatouille!

I was having a rather self-indulgent cranky bad attitude and then I clicked on this; and how very marvolus it is Proust and Hiddleston It's like my very pretentious version of peanut butter and jelly ❤😊

[@vicdelta31415]

I want Tom to make the entire audiobook for Remembrance of Things Past, if only he wasn't one of the busiest working actors right now. It's between him and Benedict Cumberbatch. A distant dream perhaps.

[@janebishop5885]

I wonder how Timothy Dalton would reveal Proust?

[@claudesanchez3977]

Parfait choix Bonne idée

[@katewilson3667]

Wow! Indeed!

[@mariabassett6429]

Podría escucharle todo el día!

[@ThalytaG]

Gracias 🥰🥰

Which translation is this?

[@p-isforpoetry]

Hi, it's Moncrieff's translation: www.gutenberg.org/files/7178/7178-h/7178-h.htm

It is disrespectful to an author to name/translate his major work after a verse of another writer (especially since they are in not way connected and living on either side of the Channel, 4 centuries apart). And just consider the translation "à la recherche du temps perdu" >> "Remembrance ...", what happened there?!

[@vicdelta31415]

I would say I both agree and disagree with you on this. I agree because it is obvious to the meanest of intelligence that a translated work can never even come close to the quality, flow, and elegance of the original, and I say this with no disrespect to the translators who put their heart and soul into their work, and this is the reason I disagree, that without a translation millions of readers will never be able to appreciate the greatest pieces of literature of the world.

[@Paroissien]

@@vicdelta31415 Thank you for your interesting angle. My comment is about the title only.

[@vicdelta31415]

@@Paroissien Oh alright, you did mention the title which btw I don't prefer as well. But I thought it was about the whole thing. Anyways thanks for clarifying. 👍
