When We Two Parted

A spectacular reading of a great poem by the original literary bad boy. Narrated by Richard Coyle, possibly the most diverse actor ever.

To tell the truth, this video completely altered my opinion of this poem. At first glance, I thought that this short poem lacked the wonderful brilliance and effervescence of Byron's longer works, Childe Harold and Don Juan (both of which I wholeheartedly adore), not to mention his characteristic wit. However, Richard Coyle delivers such a heartbreakingly honest and emotive performance that I couldn't help but fall in love with this poem.
