00:00:01.020 --> 00:00:09.450 align:middle line:84%
Here is a recent poem
called "Deep in Europe."

00:00:09.450 --> 00:00:12.930 align:middle line:90%
So it's not about Sweden at all.

00:00:12.930 --> 00:00:15.540 align:middle line:84%
It was actually
written in Strasbourg.

00:00:15.540 --> 00:00:18.780 align:middle line:90%


00:00:18.780 --> 00:00:19.710 align:middle line:90%
"Deep in Europe."

00:00:19.710 --> 00:00:22.700 align:middle line:90%


00:00:22.700 --> 00:00:28.730 align:middle line:84%
"I, a dark hull floating
between two lock gates,

00:00:28.730 --> 00:00:33.665 align:middle line:84%
rest in the hotel bed while
the city around me awakens.

00:00:33.665 --> 00:00:36.500 align:middle line:90%


00:00:36.500 --> 00:00:39.440 align:middle line:84%
The silent clamor
and the gray light

00:00:39.440 --> 00:00:45.230 align:middle line:84%
stream in, and raise me slowly
to the next level, the morning.

00:00:45.230 --> 00:00:49.310 align:middle line:90%


00:00:49.310 --> 00:00:55.910 align:middle line:84%
Overheard horizon, they want
to say something, the dead.

00:00:55.910 --> 00:00:59.180 align:middle line:90%
They smoke but don't eat.

00:00:59.180 --> 00:01:04.400 align:middle line:84%
They don't breathe, but
they keep their voice.

00:01:04.400 --> 00:01:07.775 align:middle line:84%
I'll be hurrying through
the streets as one of them.

00:01:07.775 --> 00:01:10.480 align:middle line:90%


00:01:10.480 --> 00:01:14.770 align:middle line:84%
The blackened cathedral,
heavy as a moon,

00:01:14.770 --> 00:01:16.810 align:middle line:90%
causes ebb and flow."

00:01:16.810 --> 00:01:20.920 align:middle line:90%


00:01:20.920 --> 00:01:24.006 align:middle line:90%
I read that in Swedish too.

00:01:24.006 --> 00:01:27.437 align:middle line:90%
Djupt i Europa

00:01:28.437 --> 00:01:40.436 align:middle line:84%
Jag mörka skrov flytande mellan två slussportar
vilar i sängen på hotellet medan staden omkring vaknar.

00:01:40.436 --> 00:01:49.905 align:middle line:84%
Det tysta larmet och grå ljuset strömmar in
och lyfter mig sakta till nästa nivå: morgonen.

00:01:50.598 --> 00:01:58.009 align:middle line:90%
Avlyssnad horisont. De vill säga något, de döda.

00:01:58.199 --> 00:02:05.462 align:middle line:90%
De röker men äter inte, de andas inte men har rösten kvar.

00:02:05.762 --> 00:02:11.195 align:middle line:90%
Jag kommer att skynda genom gatorna som en av dem.

00:02:12.195 --> 00:02:20.099 align:middle line:90%
Den svartnade katedralen, tung som en måne, gör ebb och flod.
