Poetry: "She Walks in Beauty" by Lord Byron (read by Michael Sheen)

"She Walks in Beauty" by Lord Byron
She walks in beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all that’s best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes;
Thus mellowed to that tender light
Which heaven to gaudy day denies.
One shade the more, one ray the less,
Had half impaired the nameless grace
Which waves in every raven tress,
Or softly lightens o’er her face;
Where thoughts serenely sweet express,
How pure, how dear their dwelling-place.
And on that cheek, and o’er that brow,
So soft, so calm, yet eloquent,
The smiles that win, the tints that glow,
But tell of days in goodness spent,
A mind at peace with all below,
A heart whose love is innocent!

Ahogy itt jár kél (fordította Szabó Lőrinc)
Ahogy itt jár-kél, szép, miként
a csillagtüzes éjszaka;
fénybe árnyat és árnyba fényt
szűr arca, szeme, mosolya:
oly szeliden ragyog felénk,
ahogy a vad nappal soha.
Egy sugár még, egy árnyat el, -
s a fele báj nem volna itt,
a varázs, mely arcán tüzel
s belengi holló-fürtjeit
a drága fej körül, amely
égi eszmékről álmodik.
S mi ajkán s homlokán lebeg,
az a pír, az az eleven,
s az a derű a szeretet
munkáját zengi édesen:
földi jóságot és szivet,
melyben tiszta a szerelem.

What so beatiful voice and reading. I can close my eyes and see him with the book reading and imagine what he 's saying...❤

Astonishing ❤

Gorgeous. Way better than Tom Hiddleston.

Ah, cmon. Don't do that. We are, right this very second, gifted with the greatest diversity of art and artists that humanity has ever seen and i dont think we have to pit the transcendent against the merely magnificent. That said, Sheen does kick Hiddleston squarely in the acting dick.
