 On 21 September 1938, the Czech journal "Přítomnost" published the poem in the place of editorial (as a reaction on the situation before the Munich dictate).The cab driver character Alex (Judd Hirsch) begins the poem and it is finished by the unlikely character Jim (Christopher Lloyd) in season 2 episode 22 of the television show "Taxi".In "Apocalypse Now", when the photojournalist played by Dennis Hopper meets Capt Willard, played by Martin Sheen, he spouts a few lines of the first stanza during his drug-fueled, frenzied greeting while trying to relay how much he admires Colonel Kurtz.
