Oh yes, my brothers and sisters.  This is a video clip from the film A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man which is based on James Joyce's story published in 1916, one hundred years ago. 

John Gielgud as the Preacher in the Joseph Strick adaption of James Joyce's A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man (1977)

I discovered this book via a footnote in A Clockwork Orange which comments on the preacher's rap to Alex but notes it was nothing so severe as what is in "A Portrait"... and man is it true, especially in the book, but in this film Gielgud does a fine job of performing a small part of whole bit from the book.
