00:00:00.870 --> 00:00:01.845 align:middle line:90%
"Passing Remarks."

00:00:01.845 --> 00:00:04.680 align:middle line:90%


00:00:04.680 --> 00:00:09.480 align:middle line:84%
"In scenery, I
like flat country.

00:00:09.480 --> 00:00:14.400 align:middle line:84%
In life, I don't
like much to happen.

00:00:14.400 --> 00:00:18.990 align:middle line:84%
In personalities, I like
mild, colorless people.

00:00:18.990 --> 00:00:25.080 align:middle line:84%
And in colors, I
prefer gray to brown.

00:00:25.080 --> 00:00:29.820 align:middle line:84%
My wife, a vivid girl
from the mountains

00:00:29.820 --> 00:00:34.830 align:middle line:84%
says, then why
did you choose me?

00:00:34.830 --> 00:00:38.310 align:middle line:90%
Mildly, I lower my brown eyes.

00:00:38.310 --> 00:00:41.250 align:middle line:84%
There are so many things
admirable people do not

00:00:41.250 --> 00:00:42.090 align:middle line:90%
understand."

00:00:42.090 --> 00:00:48.480 align:middle line:90%


00:00:48.480 --> 00:00:51.570 align:middle line:84%
When I was learning
to write, I thought

00:00:51.570 --> 00:00:56.760 align:middle line:84%
maybe part of the project
was to learn to use

00:00:56.760 --> 00:00:59.670 align:middle line:90%
diction, striking diction.

00:00:59.670 --> 00:01:03.610 align:middle line:84%
And I don't believe
that to be true anymore.

00:01:03.610 --> 00:01:10.350 align:middle line:84%
I think that the thing to do or
the thing that appeals to me,

00:01:10.350 --> 00:01:14.610 align:middle line:84%
is just to have
events when you write.

00:01:14.610 --> 00:01:18.630 align:middle line:84%
So if you'd start low
enough, any little elevation

00:01:18.630 --> 00:01:21.960 align:middle line:84%
would have the same effect
as starting ordinary and then

00:01:21.960 --> 00:01:23.560 align:middle line:90%
getting extremely high.

00:01:23.560 --> 00:01:28.110 align:middle line:84%
So to say in scenery,
I like and in life, I

00:01:28.110 --> 00:01:32.640 align:middle line:84%
don't like and so on, and then
to come to a line in which you

00:01:32.640 --> 00:01:38.970 align:middle line:84%
have this wildly imaginative
diction saying, I prefer,

00:01:38.970 --> 00:01:45.120 align:middle line:84%
and in colors, I prefer,
suddenly this is really great.

00:01:45.120 --> 00:01:48.050 align:middle line:84%
So you don't have
to try very hard.

00:01:48.050 --> 00:01:50.000 align:middle line:90%
