Great work, thanks for sharing!

This is one of my favorite videos on UA-cam. It brings tears to my eyes and chills to my spine. Unbelievably powerful recitation.

Your voice is like a general, a teacher, a mentor, a father who is, by all his heart and will, telling his protégé not to give up. Forever etched in my heart.

Mise en scène et interprétation saisissantes : Oliver-Alan nous plonge dans la profondeur du texte. Cet escalier si haut, si escarpé, n'est-ce pas la vie que François d'Assise choisit : aller vers ses frères et ses sœurs qui souffrent de trop de misères, pour les consoler par l'amour ? Oliver-Alan gravit les marches une à une, péniblement, comme François avance dans la vie avec ses compagnons d'infortune, à bout de vivre. Et on entend cet hymne d'émerveillement à la bonté et la beauté de Dieu que François voit dans le soleil, la pluie, la nature, dans l'existence-même des choses et des êtres. Il y a aussi ces plans où Oliver-Alan est étendu sur sa couche, il semble épuisé, à l'agonie, alors que son âme loue le Seigneur. Pourquoi ? N'est-ce pas parce que François croit que la terre, ce monde qui porte ses frères et sœurs qu'il aime tant, reviendra un jour et pour toujours dans le royaume de Dieu ? N'est-il pas dit, dans les Béatitudes : "Heureux les doux, ils recevront la terre en héritage " ! Oui, François et ses compagnons de souffrance marcheront sur cette terre renouvelée, sans larmes. Oliver-Alan nous le fait comprendre ! Merci, Oliver-Alan, pour ce grand moment de théâtre.

Which app you used for editing voice?

This reading of If has inspired me so much. I listen to it regularly and have committed it to memory. Thank you Oliver, you're very talented. I hope you're doing well wherever you are.

Freres humains qui après nous vivez, N'ayez les cuers contre nous endurcis, Car, se pitié de nous povres avez, Dieu en aura plus tost de vous mercis. Vous nous voiez cy attachez cinq, six: Quant de la char, que trop avons nourrie, Elle est pieça devoree et pourrie, Et nous, les os, devenons cendre et pouldre. De nostre mal personne ne s'enrie; Mais priez Dieu que tous nous vueille absouldre! Translation: Brothers, men who live after us, Let not your hearts be hardened against us, Because, if you have pity for us poor men, God will have more mercy toward you. You see us here attached five or six: 5 When our flesh that was nourished so well Is over time devoured and putrified, And we, the bones, have become cinders and powder. Let no one laugh at our misfortune: But pray that God absolve us all! 10 2. Sevous clamons freres, pas n'en devez Avoir desdaing, quoy que fusmes occis Parjustice. Toutefois, vous sçavez Que tous hommes n'ont pas bon sens rassis; Excusez nous, puis que sommes transis, Envers le fils de la Vierge Marie, Que sa grace ne soit pour nous tarie, Nous preservant de l'infernale fouldre. Nous sommes mors, ame ne nous harie; Mais priez Dieu que tous nous vueille absouldre! If we call you, brothers, you ought not To have disdain even though we were killed By law. Often, you know That not all men have a righteous mind; Excuse us, now that we have passed, 15 Toward the son of the Virgin Mary, That her grace will not be slow for us, Preserving us from the infernal fire. We are dead, no soul harries us; But pray that God absolve us all! 20 3. La pluye nous a buez et lavez, Et le soliel dessechiez et noircis; Pies, corbeaulx nous ont les yeux cavez, Et arrachié la barbe etles sourcis. Jamais nul temps nous ne sommes assis; Puis ça, puis la, comme le vent varie, A son plaisir sans cesser nous charie, Plus becquetez d'oyseaulx que dez a couldre. Ne soiez donc de nostre confrarie; Mais priez Dieu que tous nous vueille absouldre! The rain has washed and purified us, And the sun has dried and blackened us: Magpies, crows have dug out our eyes And pulled out our beards and eyebrows. Never do we have rest; 25 The changeable wind blows us first this way, then that, To its pleasure without ceasing, Our skin has more bird peckings than if it were sewed. Do not leave our company then; But pray that God absolve us all! 30 Envoi Prince Jhesus, qui sur tous seigneurie, Garde qu'Enfer n'ait de nous la maistrie: A luy n'ayons que faire ne que souldre. Hommes, icy n'a point de mocquerie; Mais priez Dieu que tous nous veuille absouldre! Prince Jesus, who is lord of all, Keep us from the tyranny of Hell: Let the Devil have no claim over us Men, make no mockery here; But pray that God absolve us all! 35

Still my favourite reading of this.

Magnifique ! Le Saint Esprit de beauté et de paix souffle dans cette belle interprétation.

I listened last week and chose not to comment because I didn't understand what I was hearing. I found the poem and studied it and now listen again. May understanding find me.

Beautiful. !!!

need to get a cleaner recording of this. This is great.

Loved listening to it !

I listen to this each morning. For myself and my son. Trying each day to be a better man than the day before and lead by example. For his soul and mine. The poem itself is great, but this reading of it makes it powerful.

Martin Niemöller certainly went a long way - coming from the far right

Très belle version du cantique de cet homme extraordinaire qu'est François ! "Petit frère, petite sœur , rends grâce !"

Pretty good bro. Are you thinking this poem is about God and our relationship to and with God? How the whole universe is the fabric of God?

My father

Read this is a recent Batman comic (Tyrant Wing), The penguin recites it while mourning a loss, to him the poem was a cruel and and heartbreaking reminder, showing that without love we lose reason and hope. When love dies, we die, everything dies.

This is such a wondrously beautiful poem. I came to it in a novel and looked it up and have been a bit obsessed with it since. I very much enjoyed this reading.

Superbe narration !

Très belle métaphore de la « montée au paradis » sur cet escalier vertigineux, que l’artiste, avec sa voix claire et profonde, escalade pour trouver le repos. Bravo et merci Oliver.

magnifique

Ancora, una meraviglia.

Merci de m'avoir enrichi de ces paroles porteuses d'espoirs, de paix, d'amour de la création, sans exception. ua-cam.com/video/pNN8pwXMOIU/v-deo.html

Déclamé avec profondeur. Je continue de découvrir le reste des vidéos

Paul Laurence Dunbar! Merci de ce partage, et surtout d'avoir prêté votre magnifique voix à ces vers rythmiques qui expriment si bien la grande sensibilité de son auteur.

Quelle voix magnifique! Très touchant!

Ps : j’adore votre accent anglais !

Hello Oliver, je viens tout juste de visionner votre vidéo sur l’interprétation de « Acquainted with the night » et je trouve que vous êtes très bien dans la peau de votre personnage de telle que qu’on a l’impression que c’est vous qui l’avez écrit le texte ! Force à vous !

This is my favorite reading of one of the most inspirational poems I've ever read. Not only is your voice incredible but the emotional interpretation is unique and powerful.

The Shakespeare sonnet was brought to life as an accompaniment to those beautiful dancers and background to those lively talkers. If anyone wants to see the meaning of a poem illuminated it's here. Dia dhaoibh go leir.

Obrigado pela legenda em português, grandioso Oliver Álain Christie. Sou seu fã.

Is he the president yet ?

Sir, your narration of this poem is beautiful. Thank you very much for giving voice to the stirring words of Kipling.

Merci OLiver Alain pour ce beau moment de spiritualité

The one and only version done right!

This version! ... Is read in a way that amplifies the impact of an already ground-shaking poem. I have fallen in love with these words and recite them from time to time. I find it amazing how words delivered in a particular way, with arcs of intensity and elegantly placed silences can move one's BEING back to who we really are... AND! to see again the potential we all have in our journeys from the early beginnings to the very end.

I listen to this every single day atleast once, it fuels me to be the best person I could be and the best man I could be

Your voice coupled with the images, videos and music found on the Restfrost channel is one of the best things I have found on the internet. Merci!!

Wow! This was the final piece I read as part of the Shakespeare 2020 project (reading the entire canon in a year. Yeah, I'm a wee bit behind.) Your reading sent chills down my spine. What an incredible way to end a year with the Bard. Thank you so much.
