00:00:01.410 --> 00:00:05.880 align:middle line:84%
This next one is called
"Quick and Bitter,"

00:00:05.880 --> 00:00:08.490 align:middle line:84%
and it's quick and
bitter [INAUDIBLE]..

00:00:08.490 --> 00:00:11.430 align:middle line:84%
In Hebrew, it's
actually a phrase

00:00:11.430 --> 00:00:16.290 align:middle line:84%
taken from one of the
prophets and he used it

00:00:16.290 --> 00:00:21.420 align:middle line:84%
for some prophecy of
that the end or the enemy

00:00:21.420 --> 00:00:24.540 align:middle line:90%
will come quick and bitter.

00:00:24.540 --> 00:00:30.390 align:middle line:84%
Prophets were always right when
they prophesize the bad end,

00:00:30.390 --> 00:00:40.320 align:middle line:84%
and so I took that for a
very personal love poem.

00:00:40.320 --> 00:00:45.750 align:middle line:90%
"The end was quick and bitter.

00:00:45.750 --> 00:00:51.390 align:middle line:84%
Slow and sweet was
the time between us.

00:00:51.390 --> 00:00:57.240 align:middle line:84%
Slow and sweet were the
nights when my hands did not

00:00:57.240 --> 00:01:02.310 align:middle line:84%
touch one another in despair,
but with the love of your body

00:01:02.310 --> 00:01:05.340 align:middle line:90%
which came between them.

00:01:05.340 --> 00:01:09.930 align:middle line:84%
And when I entered into
you, it seemed then

00:01:09.930 --> 00:01:12.810 align:middle line:84%
that great happiness
could be measured

00:01:12.810 --> 00:01:19.410 align:middle line:84%
with the precision of sharp
pain, quick and bitter.

00:01:19.410 --> 00:01:25.950 align:middle line:84%
Slow and sweet were the nights,
now as bitter and grinding

00:01:25.950 --> 00:01:28.170 align:middle line:90%
as sand--

00:01:28.170 --> 00:01:33.450 align:middle line:84%
'Let's be sensible'
and similar curses.

00:01:33.450 --> 00:01:39.108 align:middle line:84%
And as we stray further from
love, we multiply the words.

00:01:39.108 --> 00:01:44.430 align:middle line:84%
words and sentences
long and orderly,

00:01:44.430 --> 00:01:51.500 align:middle line:84%
had we remained together, we
could have become a silence."
