Never doubt the power of the spoken word with these United Bank of Switzerland commercials. Rousing works like "Invictus", "If", "The Road Not Taken", "Ozymandias", "The Ballad of East and West", "Bag of Tools", "The Cloths of Heaven" and many more have been posted on Headlink's Youtube Channel (some are also posted on Greymattersblog as well) These verses are performed by luminaries of stage and screen: Alan Bates, Maggie Smith, Harvey Keitel, John Gielgud, and Ben Kingsley.
My favorite is Tennyson's "Ulysses" performed by the late Sir John Gielgud. Check it out...
