So it is true that if you want
to live as other people live,

00:00:06.240 --> 00:00:08.970 align:middle line:84%
if you want to buy a lot
of refrigerators and cars,

00:00:08.970 --> 00:00:11.550 align:middle line:84%
if you want to be
successful, if you want

00:00:11.550 --> 00:00:15.190 align:middle line:84%
to add to the gross
national product,

00:00:15.190 --> 00:00:19.140 align:middle line:84%
you will be able to see
some things in life,

00:00:19.140 --> 00:00:23.330 align:middle line:90%
but not everything.

00:00:23.330 --> 00:00:25.180 align:middle line:84%
And if you want to
abandon all that

00:00:25.180 --> 00:00:27.640 align:middle line:84%
and be interested in solitude,
you can see other things.

00:00:27.640 --> 00:00:29.560 align:middle line:84%
You won't see
everything there either,

00:00:29.560 --> 00:00:32.860 align:middle line:84%
because life is a choice
between two things.

00:00:32.860 --> 00:00:35.710 align:middle line:84%
Here's a little poem touching
on that called "The Loon."

00:00:35.710 --> 00:00:37.930 align:middle line:84%
From far out in the
center of the naked lake

00:00:37.930 --> 00:00:39.580 align:middle line:90%
the loon's cry rose.

00:00:39.580 --> 00:00:43.890 align:middle line:84%
It was the cry of someone
who owned very little.

00:00:43.890 --> 00:00:45.290 align:middle line:90%
Have you ever heard a loon?

00:00:45.290 --> 00:00:48.200 align:middle line:84%
It's a northern
thing, goes [CAW]..

00:00:48.200 --> 00:00:50.100 align:middle line:90%
Strange sound.

00:00:50.100 --> 00:00:52.850 align:middle line:84%
But it's a cry of someone
who owns very little.

00:00:52.850 --> 00:00:57.430 align:middle line:84%
And I suppose a poet
cry is the same.

00:00:57.430 --> 00:00:58.000 align:middle line:90%
