What do Richard Burton and Anthony Hopkins have to tell us about the magical Celtic number ten?
To capture the essence of these two titans, we must look at the number ten through two different lenses. One lens is the thunderous, poetic gravity of Richard Burton. The other is the quiet, rhythmic precision of Sir Anthony Hopkins.
