I posted the first video at 'the other place' this morning for Sunday Reflection. Harvey Keitel is a fine actor - some of his films may be 'hit & miss' but his performance never is. I think he reinvigorates 'If' by Rudyard Kipling and I could listen to his delivery over and over: "... or being lied about, don't deal in lies.." Perhaps, if this were shown in schools, poetry and its eternal values might gain credence with more of our children. Teaching is not to 'teach', it's to enthuse & enable children to learn - there's a difference.
