William Butler Yeats "The Second Coming " Poem animation

from YouTube :: Videos by poetryanimations on April 10, 2009
Duration: 95

Heres a virtual movie of William Butler Yeats (1865 - 1939) Reading his much loved poem "The Second Coming " "The Second Coming" is a poem by William Butler Yeats first printed in The Dial (November 1920) and afterwards included in his 1921 verse collection Michael Robartes and the Dancer. The poem uses Christian imagery regarding the end of the world as allegory to describe the atmosphere in post-war Europe.The poem was written in 1919 in the aftermath of the First World War.[1] However, the various manuscript revisions of the poem refer to the French and Irish Revolutions as well as those of Germany and Russia; as a result, it is unlikely that the poem was solely inspired by the Russian Revolution of 1917, which some claim Yeats viewed as a threat to the aristocratic class he favored.[ William Butler Yeats (1865-1939) was born in Dublin. His father was a lawyer and a well-known portrait painter. Yeats was educated in London and in Dublin, but he spent his summers in the west of Ireland in the family's summer house at Connaught. The young Yeats was very much part of the fin de siècle in London; at the same time he was active in societies that attempted an Irish literary revival. His first volume of verse appeared in 1887, but in his earlier period his dramatic production outweighed his poetry both in bulk and in import. Together with Lady Gregory he founded the Irish Theatre, which was to become the Abbey Theatre, and served as its chief playwright until the movement was joined by John Synge. His plays usually treat Irish legends; they also reflect his fascination with mysticism and spiritualism. The Countess Cathleen (1892), The Land of Heart's Desire (1894), Cathleen ni Houlihan (1902), The King's Threshold (1904), and Deirdre (1907) are among the best known. After 1910, Yeats's dramatic art took a sharp turn toward a highly poetical, static, and esoteric style. His later plays were written for small audiences; they experiment with masks, dance, and music, and were profoundly influenced by the Japanese Noh plays. Although a convinced patriot, Yeats deplored the hatred and the bigotry of the Nationalist movement, and his poetry is full of moving protests against it. He was appointed to the Irish Senate in 1922. Yeats is one of the few writers whose greatest works were written after the award of the Nobel Prize. Whereas he received the Prize chiefly for his dramatic works, his significance today rests on his lyric achievement. His poetry, especially the volumes The Wild Swans at Coole (1919), Michael Robartes and the Dancer (1921), The Tower (1928), The Winding Stair and Other Poems (1933), and Last Poems and Plays (1940), made him one of the outstanding and most influential twentieth-century poets writing in English. His recurrent themes are the contrast of art and life, masks, cyclical theories of life (the symbol of the winding stairs), and the ideal of beauty and ceremony contrasting with the hubbub of modern life.

Surely some revelation is at hand; Surely the Second Coming is at hand. The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi Troubles my sight: a waste of desert sand; A shape with lion body and the head of a man, A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun, Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it Wind shadows of the indignant desert birds. The darkness drops again but now I know That twenty centuries of stony sleep Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle, And what rough beast, its hour come round at last, Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?

Heres a virtual movie of William Butler Yeats (1865 - 1939) Reading his supernatural poem "Ribh at the Tomb of Baile and Aillinn" . Ribh at the Tomb of Baile and Aillinn. The first of seven supernatural songs (expanded to twelve in 37), in which the monk Ribh prays over the grave of the legendary Irish lovers Baile and Aillinn, who had died of broken hearts, each having been falsely informed of the death of the other.

Mark and digest my tale, carry it afar To those that never saw this tonsured head Nor heard this voice that ninety years have cracked. Of Baile and Aillinn you need not speak, All know their tale, all know what leaf and twig, What juncture of the apple and the yew, Surmount their bones; but speak what none have heard. The miracle that gave them such a death Transfigured to pure substance what had once Been bone and sinew; when such bodies join There is no touching here, nor touching there, Nor straining joy, but whole is joined to whole; For the intercourse of angels is a light Where for its moment both seem lost, consumed. Here in the pitch-dark atmosphere above The trembling of the apple and the yew, Here on the anniversary of their death, The anniversary of their first embrace, Those lovers, purified by tragedy, Hurry into each other's arms; these eyes, By water, herb and solitary prayer Made aquiline, are open to that light. Though somewhat broken by the leaves, that light Lies in a circle on the grass; therein I turn the pages of my holy book Author: poetryanimations Keywords: poem animation yeats ts eliot pearse auden ezra pound caprani belloc macneice kipling wilfred owen sassoon cecil day lewis war ww1 chesterton column Added: April 5, 2009

William Butler Yeats "The Rose Tree" Poem animation traditional Irish song

Duration: 62

Heres a virtual movie of a rendition of William Butler Yeats Irish nationalist poem "The Rose Tree" sung beautifully in the style of a tradtional Irish song. The poem describes a fictional conversation between James Connolly and Padraig Pearse, the leaders of the 1916 Easter Rising. In the striking work The Rose Tree, Yeats recalls an imagined conversation between Padraig Pearse and James Connolly, the two most prominent leaders of the Rising: Unmistakably, Pearse and Connolly state that they are willing to give their own lives to see the restoration of an Ireland governed by the Irish. The rather overt symbolism Yeats uses is that of Christs crucifixion; Pearse and Connolly believe that Ireland will be resurrected anew if they spill their blood for it.

"It needs to be but watered", James Connolly replied, "To make the green come out again And spread on every side, And shake the blossom from the bud To be the garden's pride." But where can we draw water", Said Pearse to Connolly, "When all the wells are parched away? O plain as plain can be There's nothing but our own red blood Can make a right Rose Tree."

That civilization may not sink Its great battle lost, Quiet the dog, tether the pony To a distant post. Our master Caesar is in the tent Where the maps are spread, His eyes fixed upon nothing, A hand under his head. Like a long-legged fly upon the stream His mind moves upon silence. That the topless towers be burnt And men recall that face, Move most gently if move you must In this lonely place. She thinks, part woman, three parts a child, That nobody looks; her feet Practice a tinker shuffle Picked up on the street. Like a long-legged fly upon the stream Her mind moves upon silence. That girls at puberty may find The first Adam in their thought, Shut the door of the Pope's Chapel, Keep those children out. There on that scaffolding reclines Michael Angelo. With no more sound than the mice make His hand moves to and fro. Like a long-legged fly upon the stream His mind moves upon silence.

Know, that I would accounted be True brother of a company That sang, to sweeten Ireland's wrong, Ballad and story, rann and song; Nor be I any less of them, Because the red-rose-bordered hem Of her, whose history began Before God made the angelic clan, Trails all about the written page. When Time began to rant and rage The measure of her flying feet Made Ireland's heart hegin to beat; And Time bade all his candles flare To light a measure here and there; And may the thoughts of Ireland brood Upon a measured guietude. Nor may I less be counted one With Davis, Mangan, Ferguson, Because, to him who ponders well, My rhymes more than their rhyming tell Of things discovered in the deep, Where only body's laid asleep. For the elemental creatures go About my table to and fro, That hurry from unmeasured mind To rant and rage in flood and wind, Yet he who treads in measured ways May surely barter gaze for gaze. Man ever journeys on with them After the red-rose-bordered hem. Ah, faerics, dancing under the moon, A Druid land, a Druid tune.! While still I may, I write for you The love I lived, the dream I knew. From our birthday, until we die, Is but the winking of an eye; And we, our singing and our love, What measurer Time has lit above, And all benighted things that go About my table to and fro, Are passing on to where may be, In truth's consuming ecstasy, No place for love and dream at all; For God goes by with white footfall. I cast my heart into my rhymes, That you, in the dim coming times, May know how my heart went with them After the red-rose-bordered hem.

William Butler Yeats "Broken Dreams" Poem Animation

Duration: 156

Heres a virtual movie of William Butler Yeats (1865 - 1939) Reading his bittersweet poem "Broken Dreams" . The poem is believed to refer to Maud Gonne,(1866 - 1953)an English-born Irish revolutionary, feminist and actress who Yeats loved unrequited for a considerable part of his life. By 1919, Yeats seems to lament the fact that he ever loved Maud. He laments the fact that every-thing seems to have passed and faded. Maud is no longer the vision of loveliness she once was in the youth. The last verse of Broken Dreams shows us Yeats feelings: William Butler Yeats (1865-1939) was born in Dublin.

Young men no longer suddenly catch their breath When you are passing; But perhaps some old gaffer mutters a blessing Because it was your prayer Recovered him upon the bed of death. For your sole sake--that all heart's ache have known, And given to others all heart's ache, From meagre girlhood's putting on Burdensome beauty--for your sole sake Heaven has put away the stroke of her doom, So great her portion in that peace you make By merely walking in a room. Your beauty can leave among us Vague memories, nothing but memories. A young man when the old men are done talking Will say to an old man, "Tell me of that lady The poet stubborn with his passion sang us When age might well have chilled his blood." Vague memories, nothing but memories, But in the grave all, all, shall be renewed. The certainty that I shall see that lady Leaning or standing or walking In the first loveliness of womanhood, And with the fervour of my youthful eyes, Has set me muttering like a fool. You are more beautiful than any one And yet your body had a flaw: Your small hands were not beautiful, And I am afraid that you will run And paddle to the wrist In that mysterious, always brimming lake Where those that have obeyed the holy law Paddle and are perfect; leave unchanged The hands that I have kissed For old sake's sake. The last stroke of midnight dies. All day in the one chair From dream to dream and rhyme to rhyme I have ranged In rambling talk with an image of air: Vague memories, nothing but memories. --William Butler Yeats, Easter 1916 and Other Poems Author: poetryanimations Keywords: poem animation yeats ts eliot auden ezra pound caprani belloc macneice kipling wilfred owen sassoon cecil day lewis war ww1 chesterton column Added: March 3, 2009

William Butler Yeats reads "Two Post WW1 Poems by TS Eliot etc " Poem Animation

from YouTube :: Videos by poetryanimations on February 16, 2009
Duration: 118

Heres a virtual movie of William Butler Yeats (1865 - 1939) Reading Two post World War One poems the first is the second stanza of Preludes by T.S. Eliot .This poem was written in 1917, when there was a worldwide critique and questioning of the values of contemporary western civilization. Due to many factors, especially the First World War and the economic depression, many artists, poets and philosophers felt that modern industrial civilization had lost its sense of meaning and direction. There was a general criticism of the status quo. Preludes falls within this ambit. In this poem, Eliot describes the modern city as a vacuum of meaning and uses imagery to intensify this feeling. The poet carefully couples images of decadence with images that we usually associate with the modern urban milieu, like steaks and cigarettes. He places these ordinary images into a context that suggests a criticism of the modern world and lifestyle. The point is again emphasized with another image of decadence and dirt in " The grimy scraps". The image of " withered leaves" again points to the winter motif and paints a clear picture of death and decline. Always remember that the poet is not only referring to leaves here; he is using this image, through association, to connect to the general idea of loss of meaning in the modern urban world. The second stanza intensifies its attack on the modern world. The first two lines clearly express the idea that modern life is little more than a drunken hangover. The feeling of personal and social decadence is strengthened by the images in these lines: The Second poem read by Yeats at the end of my virtual movie may be by TS Eliot also,but I havent managed to track it down on the internet as yet ? So any info youtubers can provide on this poem will be welcome. Preludes (Second Stanza) by TS Eliot....

With the other masquerades That time resumes, One thinks of all the hands That are raising dingy shades In a thousand furnished rooms.

His recurrent themes are the contrast of art and life, masks, cyclical theories of life (the symbol of the winding stairs), and the ideal of beauty and ceremony contrasting with the hubbub of modern life.

Yu-Gi-Oh! Fare Thee Well Pharaoh Atem

from YouTube :: Tag // second life on December 30, 2007
Duration: 0

Disclaimer: just for fun, not profit!! I don't own anything but the amv's creativity. This amv has been burbling about for a long time - ever since I watched 224. With the Christmas holidays I finally had time to finish it. It's my mourning process for losing Atem and the whole series. EXPLANATION: The first part is Yugi's feelings at losing Atem - which I felt were expressed beautifully in W.H. Auden's poem "Stop all the Clocks" as made famous in "Four Weddings and a Funeral". It was read by a man at the funeral of his life partner (also a man), so I felt it was even more fitting. Auden was himself was gay. Now before all the homophobes start bashing me for hinting at Yugi and Atem being gay, the poem speaks of deep love and hideous grief at the loss of that loved one. Atem and his "Aibou" had a deep bond of love and trust. So what if they were both male? Anyway, the second part is the song "Leave out all the rest" by Linkin Park, which matched well what I felt Atem could have said to Yugi when taking his leave of him. In the background is what Atem is thinking about when he's talking to Yugi. Hope you enjoy! Please rate and comment! :) Author: atemssoulmate Keywords: Yu-Gi-Oh Yugioh YGO Pharaoh Atem Yami Yugi amv anime 224 linkin park leave out all the rest auden stop clocks Added: December 30, 2007
