"If you can fill the unforgiving minute with sixty seconds' worth of distance run," is the original line by Kipling. This makes more sense than 40 seconds, as a minute has 60 seconds. In any case, Caine's performance is brilliant and masterful, hats off!
My favourite poem. My father gave this poem, handwritten by him, when I was eight years old and asked me to learn it for him. I spent all weekend memorising it, so that I could make my father proud of me. Only to be told on that Monday my dad had been killed. That was fifty-six years ago. I hadn't heard it in a good while, and upon listening to Sir Michael read it aloud [way better than I could] I felt the tears well up and then inevitably tumble down. I'm still a work in progress.
I am neither old or young, I just am what I am suppose to be not living not dead just being in a place in time not yesterday or tomorrow but now for a moment in my mind .I decide what happens in here noting else can enter if it is not welcomed by me death or life I choose which ever I choose they will come by invitation only .I decide who enters my mind in this place I truly know the Lord who knows me and he needs no invitation to enter. One who knows oneself fears noting loves everything and just is.RELAX
My grandpa read this to me when I was 15, and it meant a lot to me and has been my favorite all these years. It's been the story of my life. I appreciate it more now, much more now then at the first.
you made so many mistakes with this poem i am completely and utterly disgusted. please never post on youtube again. "fill a minute with 40 seconds" is absolutely unacceptable.
I very often force my heart, my nerve and my sinew…. And we hold on, we Hold On to what we want to hold on to. I think that part about The Will, is my Favorite part.
Freeman is an ok actor, but that doesn't give him the right to change the words in classical poetry. If you can't read the words as they were written then you'll never get the true meaning & therefore it's arrogant & a waste of time.
It's a reason you fight for young..😂there you are I was even better..here iam you will came ..worst for sure..cycling life from one decade to other has so beauty and ugliness..just never ever use your body for anything others likes and you not..
Naked dusk' as dawn's pre-rising. Gaintly' lay, it's falling. Above' hour's revoked, when under star-light's showering. Blissful air, incased' in evening. Leaving' fatigue, loosened' before night's, final' reprimand. A staying' of the land. As parting' thoughts, relinquish' their intellectual bindings. Where casted' down, released of bold' confinement. As' their troubled' obligations.
In this' evening, brings' pale rise. Not' Morning, does begin' full day. Til' twenty, of-four their' hour's, gave. By long laid one's head, crumpled' bed sheets. Disturbed' what passing dread, had thought awakened. In-to dwelling, and pre-use' of it's bed. Where' did lost light' fade. Upon dark windows. Night begins' washing away, time's illusion. Kept solemnly' while wasted progress' of opportunity. Is strictly held, at length'en bay.
This speaks of values. Men of values are worth all the unspoken words. Upholding them thorugh thick and thin is the hardest thing, but you end up being among the righteous... the super heroes of this world that would, if it existed, deserve paradice. Ive seen it my every day, but I long to help you see it, too.
Hearing that poem I last read as a teenager I was amazed how much my life has tried to embody these principles. As Rilke said, until the lines become a part of our blood they fail.
