how perfectly lovely. matthew macfadyen reads yeats. and other things.

Before he became “The Darcy to End All Darcys” the ridiculously talented and RADA-trained Matthew Macfadyen contributed to the DVD ‘Essential Poems (To Fall In Love By)’.

A naughty little someone has posted his readings to YouTube.

I am very glad of it.

W.B. Yeats.
When You Are Old.

William Shakespeare.

    I wish all people had the talent and the voice to speak out poems this way. Thank you, its a sort of resistence in the ugliness of life
