Thank you for making videos like this. My wife and I are going through a separation and when I lay in bed by myself you bring my anxiety down when I listen to you.

My Irish grandfather, a Protestant from Dublin, knew the Yeats family. Thanks.

I'm delighted that this Canadian female has discovered this channel. I had my ancestry done ,Irish, English, French, and German . 100% European. I love all the great poets. ❤

As an Irish man living in Dublin, that was a delightful ode to my island. Slainte! ☘️

That Ireland v Scotland 6 nations final was such a great match. Scotland’s defense was heroic!

The Lake Isle of Innisfree is the kind of poem that transports you and leaves you near breathless. You are exactly right, Malcolm, a near perfect poem, if not perfect. Only a handful of those exist. Happy St. Patrick's Day and thank God for all those singers, poets, and bards from that emerald isle! ☘️

It's seems so hard to take your time and enjoy the moment. These videos help me practice mindfulness and I thank you!

Happy St Patrick's Day! Slainte!!!

What a contemplative and beautiful piece, I must say you are the first person to engage me in poetry, thank you.

I don’t drink, but I raise my pipe with you for that lovely last poem. Good wishes to all. ❤

Hello Malcolm Happy St. Patrick’s Day ☘️ Nice to see you this morning . Enjoying your video as I drink a coffee and pack a pipe with some Early Morning Pipe. Hope your visit to Texas was refreshing and enjoyable. Have a great day, Cheers

Dear Malcolm, as ever I love your chats, all the best from Dublin Aengus

I love joining you for these poems. You have such an inviting presence. Thank you.

How absolutely lovely!! Great job! I was in Gort at Yeat's Tor and while standing at the confluence of his two streams, this poem came to me (from him?) on the fly! Softly flowing streams sublime Let's me be on mountain high. Thou I stand on earthly ground, My spirit roams the world around. I am here and there as well, Letting my soul ring its twinkling bell. Only a thinking foul would claim to be, Bored by cloud and river free. Now am I Yeats in his sylvan vale, Thanking God for this hidden trail.

Just subbed today Malcolm to your channel. Thanks for your kind insight to our national holiday & saint. Look forward to checking out the rest of your channel.

Brilliant upload

I appreciate your sharing of the history of Patrick, the history of poets and their poetry. It adds so much

A little early for a Guinness? But in all seriousness, my brother and I have a tradition of pipe smoking after church while discussing the sermon or theological matters. Today, we'll do so with a Guinness. Cheers 🍻

A man at my church and I were discussing Irish authors, and he was surprised to learn that C.S. Lewis and Bram Stoker were Irish.

The Poem was simply beautiful. Put a smile on my face, in my eyes, my heart and soul. St.Patrick pray for us! ☘️

Hey Malcolm! Happy St. Patrick's Day from Denmark!☘☘

Happy St. Patrick’s Day from across the pond!Connecticut U.S.

Wonderful to see you celebrating St Patrick's Day Malcolm. Love your channel, Gavin, Castletownsend, Co.Cork, Ireland.

I appreciate your wisdom which obviously derives from an insatiable curiosity. It's nice to see that, because quite a considerable amount of older individuals become bitter and lose that child-like curiosity and become magnets for drama. But to sit down, with a pipe and read some good literature in a gentlemanly manner is nice. I'm only a teenager, but I'm sure it keeps you feeling young. I'm an individual who knows a little about a lot but not a lot about any one thing in particular haha. Keep being yourself my friend.

Always pain and suffering make great poetry and Ireland has seen its fair share of both.

Thank you Reverend! Happy Saint Patrick’s Day!

What I love about Saint Patrick is that he made the Gospel uniquely Irish

Happy St Patty’s Day sir and all who also enjoy visiting with you😘

Happy St. Patrick’s Day to you sir 🍀 Thank you for another wonderful reading.

Happy St. Patrick's Day! I have found a new favorite way to go about my day. Your love for poetry and literature is contagious. What a gift to have found you on KZfaq. Feeling blessed to start this Sabbath day with your spirit of love and happiness.

Happy St Pats!..💚☘️

The last poem was lovely

Greetings from Ireland, Malcolm…always enjoy your videos, thank you 🙏

Cheers Malcolm and Happy ☘️ Enjoying your recitations over a frothy latte. Later, a frothy Guiness

Mr. Guite, thank you for sharing this poetry with us.

Man , Malcolm - you are truly a treasure. Love your content - happy st. Patrick’s to you and the Irish. !

Thank you!💚🍀💚

Happy St Patrick's Day Fr. Malcolm!

Wonderfully done a fitting tribute for a special day … Slainte!

Just lovely! Thank you so much for the wonderful reading, Malcolm. I raise a pint of Guinness along with you!

Happy saint Patrick’s day❤ my grandmother is a Kennedy from Kilkenny Ireland ☘️

Happy St. Patricks Day! Thank you for the Irish Cheer and the wonderful poems!

never seen soo much green.... i watches some of that parade,... that looked fun,....💚

Thanks for your time sir

Slainte! Grateful for the saints, like Patrick, who have gone before us. The Lake Isle of Inisfree is, indeed, a near-perfect poem, and one of the first I chose to memorize on my own (for fun!) and not because it was assigned. The meter itself echoes the lapping of water, in my mind. As someone who grew up in an area known for its innumerable lakes, I also can never forget the call of the waves.

I just have to say that I absolutely love these videos of yours. Takes me to a cozy, happy place. Plus, you remind me very much of a former English literature professor of mine that I was quite fond of. Keep these coming. 😊

Happy St Patricks Day. I too am just enjoying a pint of The Black Gold.

I have found your channel in a particularly challenging time in my life. I am extremely grateful to have done so, your videos give a warmth, comfort and sense of calm to me. I suppose, for me, they’re the kind of escapism that Tolkien described. Thank you for your videos!

Happy St Patrick's Day Malcolm! Enjoyable video as always. Have a great day!

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! I am celebrating by listening to your wonderful video and smoking my 2024 Peterson Saint Patrick’s Day limited edition pipe.

Beautiful! Happy St. Patrick’s Day, Malcolm! ☘️✝️

What a fantastic poem Malcolm, Slainte 🍀🍻

Thank you.

Buíochas mór o mo chroi Malcolm, (in Irish this means immense gratitude from the heart) no better way to mark the occasion than with these great words you have shared with us.

Enjoy the day; greetings from Galway, Ireland. Of all the poets of Ireland, I find Yeats to be the most musical and in touch with the rhythms of nature. I have been to Lough Gill (on which the Lake Isle sits) and truly feel that selfsame longing and nostalgia for the rippling waves on the water and the buzzing life in the forests around that Yeats expresses in his poem. I think he captures the essence of what all lovers of nature experience when they think back on the splendour of places they have been. I don’t drink, but I raise a metaphorical glass to the spirit of Ireland and am glad that others from across the sea do so too.

Happy St Patricks Day good sir! Keep doing what youre doing, its been a pleasure to watch.

Nothing like a drop of the black stuff. 🍺😉👍

Happy St Patricks Day sir.

Your videos are lovely Sir!❤️

Beautiful selection of poems today! Happy St. Patrick's Day!💚

I am always looking foward to these videos! Thank you Sir. Greetings from South Africa.

Hello Sir Happy St. Patrick's day to you, my friend! Thank you for the bit of history and your wonderful poem! God bless :)

From Ireland, watching in from Japan. Been here since ‘98. Just came across your channel recently… Don’t celebrate Paddy’s day haha just thought I’d say hi… Love your videos. Alan

Lá Fheile Padraig Malcolm! Love the channel. God bless

Happy St. Patrick's Day! I recommend everybody read St. Patrick's very own Confessions. It is fairly short, only about an essay's length. But a great autobiography from one of the great saints.

Another excellent reading. Yeats is one of my favourites. Thank you so much. Peter...

Happy St. Patrick’s Day Malcolm. We had an typical American style boil up with corned beef, cabbage, carrots and potatoes. I baked two loaves of soda bread. For afters we finished up with Irish coffees. Thanks for the poetry readings! Sláinte!

Hey Malcom, i recently started taking an interest in poetry and decided to write a poem, it’s my first poem so it won’t be great but here it is. It’s called “May Christ guide me in all that I do” May Christ guide me in all that I do, for everyday, in him I am made new. I find peace in him, and so can you. Into sin I often fall, but through his sacrifice, he may forgive all. I am but a sheep led astray, but in him, I can find my way. In all times, happy or blue, it is his teachings I ought to pursue. May Christ guide me in all that I do.

Yes Yates’ poem is so well written that you realize the place he’s talking about could be anywhere you are , as it is here alone in Vermont for me but one has to make that play so.

Happy St. Patrick's day. My dear Granny was Irish, and though she never read a poem to me, she talked about Ireland as beautifully as Yeats did.

Cheers!

Happy St. Patrick’s Day from Chicago, where we dye our river green! 🍀

Thank you, you always lift my spirits!

Happy St. Patrick's Day Malcolm. Sláinte Mhaith!

Well read sir, happy st. Patrick's day to you and yours.

As a product of the Irish diaspora, I’ve found as I’ve aged I’m unconsciously drawn to certain traditional things only to eventually discover they are Irish. (Peterson pipes, Yeats, CS Lewis, etc). Guinness, which I avoided in my youth, has quickly become my go to pint. 🍻

Yeats - greatest of all!

Thank you for keeping history and appreciation of poetry alive

Happy St.Patricks Day Malcolm!! Love the channel !

Ty so much for bringing poetry to my life.
