00:00:01.610 --> 00:00:02.480 align:middle line:90%
Yeah.

00:00:02.480 --> 00:00:04.040 align:middle line:90%
How is this microphone?

00:00:04.040 --> 00:00:09.230 align:middle line:84%
Can you hear me if I'm
talking in this tone?

00:00:09.230 --> 00:00:09.980 align:middle line:90%
Is that OK?

00:00:09.980 --> 00:00:13.380 align:middle line:90%


00:00:13.380 --> 00:00:16.379 align:middle line:84%
Yeah, I had a small
piece of paper

00:00:16.379 --> 00:00:25.560 align:middle line:84%
here with my poems in
Swedish and in English.

00:00:25.560 --> 00:00:26.790 align:middle line:90%
Three of them.

00:00:26.790 --> 00:00:28.380 align:middle line:84%
And I think I
could start to read

00:00:28.380 --> 00:00:36.060 align:middle line:84%
the first of these poems in
Swedish and then in English.

00:00:36.060 --> 00:00:39.600 align:middle line:84%
People sometimes like to
hear the strange sound

00:00:39.600 --> 00:00:42.645 align:middle line:84%
of the Swedish
language so I do that.

00:00:42.645 --> 00:00:44.705 align:middle line:90%


00:00:44.705 --> 00:00:46.682 align:middle line:90%
Spår

00:00:48.099 --> 00:00:51.965 align:middle line:90%
På natten klockan två: månsken.

00:00:53.499 --> 00:00:57.686 align:middle line:90%
Tåget har stannat mitt ute på slätten.

00:00:57.686 --> 00:01:02.686 align:middle line:90%
Långt borta ljuspunkter i en stad,

00:01:02.686 --> 00:01:06.373 align:middle line:90%
flimrande kallt vid synranden.

00:01:06.373 --> 00:01:14.788 align:middle line:84%
Som när en människa gått in i en dröm så djupt
att hon aldrig ska minnas att hon var där

00:01:15.088 --> 00:01:18.450 align:middle line:90%
när hon återvänder till sitt rum.

00:01:20.410 --> 00:01:25.411 align:middle line:90%
Och som när någon gått in i en sjukdom så djupt

00:01:25.411 --> 00:01:32.587 align:middle line:84%
att allt som var hans dagar blir några flimrande
punkter, en svärm,

00:01:32.587 --> 00:01:36.053 align:middle line:90%
kall och ringa vid synranden.

00:01:38.049 --> 00:01:41.491 align:middle line:90%
Tåget står fullkomligt stilla.

00:01:42.598 --> 00:01:49.957 align:middle line:90%
Klockan två: starkt månsken, få stjärnor.

00:01:50.700 --> 00:01:54.500 align:middle line:90%
"Tracks."

00:01:54.500 --> 00:01:57.740 align:middle line:90%
"Night, 2 o'clock, moonlight.

00:01:57.740 --> 00:02:01.880 align:middle line:84%
The train has stopped in
the middle of the plane.

00:02:01.880 --> 00:02:05.720 align:middle line:84%
Distant bright points of a town
twinkle cold on the horizon.

00:02:05.720 --> 00:02:08.690 align:middle line:90%


00:02:08.690 --> 00:02:12.590 align:middle line:84%
As when someone has gone into
dreams so far that he'll never

00:02:12.590 --> 00:02:16.430 align:middle line:84%
remember he was there when
he comes back to his room.

00:02:16.430 --> 00:02:19.800 align:middle line:90%


00:02:19.800 --> 00:02:23.910 align:middle line:84%
And that's when someone
goes into a sickness so deep

00:02:23.910 --> 00:02:30.300 align:middle line:84%
that all his former days become
twinkling points, a swarm, cold

00:02:30.300 --> 00:02:31.590 align:middle line:90%
and feeble on the horizon.

00:02:31.590 --> 00:02:35.540 align:middle line:90%


00:02:35.540 --> 00:02:38.870 align:middle line:84%
The train stands
perfectly still.

00:02:38.870 --> 00:02:44.020 align:middle line:84%
2 o'clock, full moon
light, few stars."
