00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.130 align:middle line:90%


00:00:02.130 --> 00:00:05.640 align:middle line:84%
And this one it's funny
because I wrote this

00:00:05.640 --> 00:00:07.770 align:middle line:84%
and then I realized,
how strange.

00:00:07.770 --> 00:00:09.413 align:middle line:90%
It's called, "Kore."

00:00:09.413 --> 00:00:10.830 align:middle line:84%
I hope that's how
it's pronounced.

00:00:10.830 --> 00:00:12.870 align:middle line:84%
It's the other name
for Persephone.

00:00:12.870 --> 00:00:14.380 align:middle line:90%
Is it right, Kore?

00:00:14.380 --> 00:00:14.880 align:middle line:90%
Kore.

00:00:14.880 --> 00:00:16.050 align:middle line:90%
Kore.

00:00:16.050 --> 00:00:21.750 align:middle line:84%
And the other girl who is 7
or 8 is named Cora, C-O-R-A.

00:00:21.750 --> 00:00:24.630 align:middle line:90%
And I thought, wow, it's weird.

00:00:24.630 --> 00:00:26.760 align:middle line:90%
Kore.

00:00:26.760 --> 00:00:30.600 align:middle line:84%
"Persephone, how
much you have longed

00:00:30.600 --> 00:00:33.310 align:middle line:84%
for these crooked
and overgrown paths

00:00:33.310 --> 00:00:38.880 align:middle line:84%
slipping out on the violent
sky, the bright stormy sea.

00:00:38.880 --> 00:00:42.150 align:middle line:84%
Kore, how much you
have longed for.

00:00:42.150 --> 00:00:44.970 align:middle line:84%
Blind girl one step
from the cliff edge,

00:00:44.970 --> 00:00:46.980 align:middle line:90%
you make your sure way.

00:00:46.980 --> 00:00:51.870 align:middle line:84%
The wind, your hair, your
smile, dark crimson poppies

00:00:51.870 --> 00:00:55.230 align:middle line:84%
growing where no one
has ever seen them.

00:00:55.230 --> 00:00:57.810 align:middle line:90%
Which one are you, Kore?

00:00:57.810 --> 00:01:00.090 align:middle line:84%
How can you tell for
sure if you're allowed

00:01:00.090 --> 00:01:02.580 align:middle line:90%
to be alive this month?"

00:01:02.580 --> 00:01:06.900 align:middle line:84%
I should say like here's
what I thought of you always

00:01:06.900 --> 00:01:12.780 align:middle line:84%
think, Persephone, all right,
she spends half the year

00:01:12.780 --> 00:01:13.650 align:middle line:90%
in the underworld.

00:01:13.650 --> 00:01:19.290 align:middle line:84%
And we think like my friend--
well, I know him a little,

00:01:19.290 --> 00:01:20.820 align:middle line:90%
Adam.

00:01:20.820 --> 00:01:24.060 align:middle line:84%
You live in Paris and then you
spend half the year in Houston

00:01:24.060 --> 00:01:25.740 align:middle line:90%
to teach then you can go back.

00:01:25.740 --> 00:01:26.640 align:middle line:90%
It's not like that.

00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:29.310 align:middle line:90%
She's dead.

00:01:29.310 --> 00:01:32.980 align:middle line:84%
She's dead, and then she's
resurrected every year.

00:01:32.980 --> 00:01:36.510 align:middle line:90%
This must get tedious.

00:01:36.510 --> 00:01:39.720 align:middle line:84%
She's dead and then
she's alive and then--

00:01:39.720 --> 00:01:41.430 align:middle line:90%
"Which one are you Kore?

00:01:41.430 --> 00:01:43.290 align:middle line:84%
How can you tell
for sure if you're

00:01:43.290 --> 00:01:45.450 align:middle line:90%
allowed to be alive this month?

00:01:45.450 --> 00:01:48.990 align:middle line:84%
Is there anything here that
stands out dear to you?

00:01:48.990 --> 00:01:51.660 align:middle line:84%
Something you can't
bear to part with?

00:01:51.660 --> 00:01:57.210 align:middle line:84%
And will you remember it Kore
when you resume your thrown?

00:01:57.210 --> 00:02:06.380 align:middle line:84%
Above that still and
lightening sea" Thank you.

00:02:06.380 --> 00:02:08.000 align:middle line:90%
