It is no doubt about it. But another fine piece, a Eulogy spoken by John Hannah in the movie 'Four Weddings and a Funeral' ending in verses from a W. H. Auden is one of the most touching scenes in film, not of Shakespearean status but a wonderful way ordinary words are used in an extraordinary way.
Oh yes ❤️ that is my favorite poem about death, by far. And John Hannah (and particularly his delivery in that film) are top notch.
No, that's exactly it. It's not Shakespeare and yet it's so real, captures the fragmentation inside someone's soul so incredibly well. But then, Auden was a great poet. Another favorite by him is As I Walked out one evening ❤️
