"Courtship."

00:00:04.300 --> 00:00:08.350 align:middle line:84%
This is the story about the
castle cut off from the town,

00:00:08.350 --> 00:00:10.360 align:middle line:84%
about the way the shadow
of the kitchen table

00:00:10.360 --> 00:00:14.560 align:middle line:84%
moves when I look
at it too long.

00:00:14.560 --> 00:00:18.060 align:middle line:90%
It might almost be breath.

00:00:18.060 --> 00:00:20.910 align:middle line:84%
This is about the voices of the
forest, the strange language

00:00:20.910 --> 00:00:24.190 align:middle line:84%
of cutlery I set
myself to learn.

00:00:24.190 --> 00:00:26.120 align:middle line:90%
It passes the afternoon.

00:00:26.120 --> 00:00:28.760 align:middle line:84%
I'll live here until
I'm tired of it.

00:00:28.760 --> 00:00:31.100 align:middle line:90%
Then I'll allow him in.

00:00:31.100 --> 00:00:37.310 align:middle line:84%
Enter, Beast, I'll say,
and, Beast, hide from me

00:00:37.310 --> 00:00:39.490 align:middle line:90%
while you're in my house.

00:00:39.490 --> 00:00:41.170 align:middle line:90%
I'm not used to company.

00:00:41.170 --> 00:00:45.350 align:middle line:84%
I turn off the lights to
make the search last longer.

00:00:45.350 --> 00:00:49.340 align:middle line:90%
In the dark I have no beauty.

00:00:49.340 --> 00:00:51.320 align:middle line:84%
When I find him, I
know he will speak

00:00:51.320 --> 00:00:54.450 align:middle line:90%
to me in words I know already--

00:00:54.450 --> 00:00:59.880 align:middle line:90%
lonely, eat.

00:00:59.880 --> 00:01:05.060 align:middle line:84%
The two of us, alone with
our forks and our fortress.

00:01:05.060 --> 00:01:06.000 align:middle line:90%
