This next one is five parts.

00:00:02.730 --> 00:00:04.550 align:middle line:90%
[INAUDIBLE]

00:00:04.550 --> 00:00:06.820 align:middle line:84%
They're not very long,
these five parts.

00:00:06.820 --> 00:00:11.115 align:middle line:84%
It's called, Égloga, Eclogue,
and it has two epigraphs,

00:00:11.115 --> 00:00:13.440 align:middle line:90%
one by Montale.

00:00:13.440 --> 00:00:15.160 align:middle line:90%
[INAUDIBLE].

00:00:15.160 --> 00:00:18.360 align:middle line:84%
En mi tierra a esa hora
comienzan a sisear las liebres.

00:00:18.360 --> 00:00:19.572 align:middle line:90%
de Eugenio Montale.


00:00:20.390 --> 00:00:22.745 align:middle line:84%
The other epigraph is
by another Italian poet,

00:00:22.745 --> 00:00:24.700 align:middle line:90%
called Andrea Zanzotto.

00:00:24.700 --> 00:00:29.860 align:middle line:84%
Soles, cardos y pastos
vivaces, aparto de ti.

00:00:29.860 --> 00:00:31.300 align:middle line:90%
1.

00:00:31.300 --> 00:00:35.730 align:middle line:84%
Cribando el sol, veo una reja,
más allá la planicie inmersa en

00:00:35.730 --> 00:00:38.500 align:middle line:84%
el zumbido de las
alas y las lenguas.

00:00:38.500 --> 00:00:44.180 align:middle line:84%
Mi ruta sin norte ni sur, sin
bardas contempladas a lo lejos.

00:00:44.180 --> 00:00:48.200 align:middle line:84%
Como alusión a la nostalgia por
un trozo de vida que nunca fue

00:00:48.200 --> 00:00:51.820 align:middle line:84%
posible en las inmediaciones
del poste y el pavimento.

00:00:51.820 --> 00:00:55.490 align:middle line:84%
Mi lote de breña y flor
de pétalo estragado por la

00:00:55.490 --> 00:01:00.980 align:middle line:84%
intemperie donde un embalse
de lluvia ya consumido.

00:01:00.980 --> 00:01:05.480 align:middle line:84%
Postula un hueco más entrañable
en mi cabeza que la sensación

00:01:05.480 --> 00:01:09.200 align:middle line:84%
de haber tenido un día esa
conjugación perfecta entre lo

00:01:09.200 --> 00:01:11.060 align:middle line:90%
que dije y lo que hice.

00:01:11.060 --> 00:01:16.550 align:middle line:84%
Ni amiga, ni amigo, otra persona
en mis labios y el tábano en la

00:01:16.550 --> 00:01:18.380 align:middle line:90%
oreja con su secreto.

00:01:18.380 --> 00:01:22.430 align:middle line:84%
Dimite o muere, pero
háblame del tiempo.

00:01:22.690 --> 00:01:24.230 align:middle line:90%
"Eclogue."

00:01:24.230 --> 00:01:27.485 align:middle line:84%
"In my country at that hour,
the hares begin to hiss.

00:01:27.485 --> 00:01:30.490 align:middle line:90%
Eugenio Montale.

00:01:30.490 --> 00:01:34.940 align:middle line:84%
Suns, thistles, and perennial
grasses I separate from you.

00:01:34.940 --> 00:01:38.090 align:middle line:90%


00:01:38.090 --> 00:01:43.010 align:middle line:84%
One, sifting through the sun,
I see the fence and beyond,

00:01:43.010 --> 00:01:47.450 align:middle line:84%
the plain immersed in the
buzzing of wings and tongues.

00:01:47.450 --> 00:01:50.150 align:middle line:84%
My route, Northless
and Southless,

00:01:50.150 --> 00:01:52.730 align:middle line:84%
without walls
contemplated from afar,

00:01:52.730 --> 00:01:55.700 align:middle line:84%
like an allusion to
nostalgia for a piece of life

00:01:55.700 --> 00:01:59.900 align:middle line:84%
that was never possible in the
vicinity of post and pavement.

00:01:59.900 --> 00:02:02.540 align:middle line:84%
My lot of scrubby
ground and flowers,

00:02:02.540 --> 00:02:04.730 align:middle line:84%
petals ruined by
the weather, where

00:02:04.730 --> 00:02:07.130 align:middle line:84%
a reservoir of rain,
already shrinking,

00:02:07.130 --> 00:02:10.310 align:middle line:84%
postulates a hollow
more beloved to my mind

00:02:10.310 --> 00:02:13.100 align:middle line:84%
then the sensation of
having had one day that

00:02:13.100 --> 00:02:17.690 align:middle line:84%
perfect conjugation between
what I said and what I did.

00:02:17.690 --> 00:02:21.800 align:middle line:84%
Not a friend, another person
on my lips at the gadfly

00:02:21.800 --> 00:02:24.230 align:middle line:90%
in my ear with its secret.

00:02:24.230 --> 00:02:28.280 align:middle line:84%
Resign or die, but
talk to me of time."

00:02:28.280 --> 00:02:29.120 align:middle line:90%
2.

00:02:29.120 --> 00:02:34.040 align:middle line:84%
Algo parecido a ti o a mí,
alta haya, nimbo fugitivo.

00:02:34.040 --> 00:02:35.510 align:middle line:90%
Algo que no cede.

00:02:35.510 --> 00:02:37.550 align:middle line:90%
El promontorio de la noche.

00:02:37.550 --> 00:02:40.040 align:middle line:90%
El rayo restregado en el álamo.

00:02:40.040 --> 00:02:43.910 align:middle line:84%
Algo que tiene la hora,
su línea negra y continua,

00:02:43.910 --> 00:02:47.000 align:middle line:84%
hasta que se cruza
contigo y eres su doble.

00:02:47.000 --> 00:02:50.990 align:middle line:84%
Un minuto en que te pierdo,
un episodio en que te incluyo,

00:02:50.990 --> 00:02:52.320 align:middle line:90%
cara y cuerpo.

00:02:52.320 --> 00:02:55.670 align:middle line:84%
Mi corazón se inventa la
pericia de un instinto.

00:02:55.670 --> 00:03:00.200 align:middle line:84%
Sobrevive corteza, nada lumbre,
caza un breve registro de tu

00:03:00.200 --> 00:03:04.330 align:middle line:84%
sombra en una selva trillada
para imaginar su cuento.

00:03:04.330 --> 00:03:08.480 align:middle line:84%
Mírame viviendo sin haber sabido
siempre de antemano que tocaría

00:03:08.480 --> 00:03:11.930 align:middle line:84%
esa franja, ese borde
perlado en la hoja.

00:03:11.930 --> 00:03:16.160 align:middle line:84%
Esa figura impecable que
a ratos hasta humana.

00:03:16.190 --> 00:03:17.360 align:middle line:90%
"Two.

00:03:17.360 --> 00:03:19.880 align:middle line:84%
Something that
resembles you or me.

00:03:19.880 --> 00:03:22.220 align:middle line:90%
Tall beech, fugitive nimbus.

00:03:22.220 --> 00:03:24.350 align:middle line:84%
Something that
will not give way.

00:03:24.350 --> 00:03:26.360 align:middle line:90%
The promontory of the night.

00:03:26.360 --> 00:03:28.790 align:middle line:84%
The lightning bolt
rubbing into the poplar.

00:03:28.790 --> 00:03:30.590 align:middle line:90%
Something that keeps time.

00:03:30.590 --> 00:03:34.370 align:middle line:84%
Its line black and continuous,
until it passes you by

00:03:34.370 --> 00:03:35.855 align:middle line:90%
and you are its double.

00:03:35.855 --> 00:03:37.970 align:middle line:90%
A minute when I lose you.

00:03:37.970 --> 00:03:41.240 align:middle line:84%
A moment when I include
you, face and body,

00:03:41.240 --> 00:03:44.030 align:middle line:84%
my heart invents the
skill of instinct.

00:03:44.030 --> 00:03:45.260 align:middle line:90%
Bark survives.

00:03:45.260 --> 00:03:46.730 align:middle line:90%
Flame floats.

00:03:46.730 --> 00:03:49.880 align:middle line:84%
Hunting briefly for your
shadow in a familiar wood

00:03:49.880 --> 00:03:52.160 align:middle line:90%
to imagine its story.

00:03:52.160 --> 00:03:55.940 align:middle line:84%
Look at me living without
always having known beforehand

00:03:55.940 --> 00:03:59.910 align:middle line:84%
that I would touch that fringe,
the pearly border of the leaf,

00:03:59.910 --> 00:04:03.780 align:middle line:84%
that typical and
almost human figure."

00:04:03.780 --> 00:04:04.460 align:middle line:90%
3.

00:04:04.460 --> 00:04:08.960 align:middle line:84%
Añiles o cerúleas, borbotones
mitigados por el tamaño del

00:04:08.960 --> 00:04:13.610 align:middle line:84%
proyectil, troncos
gualdos, trébol glauco,

00:04:13.610 --> 00:04:17.149 align:middle line:84%
brotes níveos como la
nube, pero asidos al lodo,

00:04:17.149 --> 00:04:19.339 align:middle line:90%
orugas en el tallo leonado.

00:04:19.339 --> 00:04:22.270 align:middle line:90%
Amapolas ígneas y danzantes.

00:04:22.270 --> 00:04:25.960 align:middle line:84%
En mi campo son ciegas las
palabras de los colores,

00:04:25.960 --> 00:04:29.290 align:middle line:84%
pero a ti te he visto
atravesando una comarca vieja,

00:04:29.290 --> 00:04:33.130 align:middle line:84%
la ruina bucólica en medio
como un templo nómada.

00:04:33.130 --> 00:04:36.790 align:middle line:84%
Te he visto con la pala al
hombro, te he visto excavar.

00:04:36.790 --> 00:04:41.050 align:middle line:84%
Debajo hay una arqueología
de carbones, anillos, capas.

00:04:41.050 --> 00:04:43.750 align:middle line:90%
Arriba un paisaje y la caminata.

00:04:43.750 --> 00:04:47.270 align:middle line:84%
Vidas de un espíritu
circular aunque sin centro.

00:04:47.270 --> 00:04:49.850 align:middle line:84%
Salvo, si tú lo
hallaras, subterráneo.

00:04:49.850 --> 00:04:53.180 align:middle line:84%
Otra en la raíz nudosa
contenida en la brecha.

00:04:53.180 --> 00:04:56.690 align:middle line:84%
Y un final tan pasajero
que no se revela.


00:04:57.950 --> 00:05:00.860 align:middle line:84%
"Indigo or cerulean,
a gushing mitigated

00:05:00.860 --> 00:05:03.020 align:middle line:90%
by the size of the projectile.

00:05:03.020 --> 00:05:07.640 align:middle line:84%
Golden trunks, green clover,
shoots as snowy as clouds,

00:05:07.640 --> 00:05:09.200 align:middle line:90%
but rooted in mud.

00:05:09.200 --> 00:05:13.760 align:middle line:84%
Caterpillars on the tawny
stem, dancing poppies.

00:05:13.760 --> 00:05:16.970 align:middle line:84%
In my field, the words
of color are blind

00:05:16.970 --> 00:05:19.520 align:middle line:84%
but I've seen you
crossing an old region,

00:05:19.520 --> 00:05:23.300 align:middle line:84%
amongst bucolic ruins
like nomadic temples.

00:05:23.300 --> 00:05:25.800 align:middle line:84%
I see you, shovel
at your shoulder.

00:05:25.800 --> 00:05:30.320 align:middle line:84%
I have seen you dig below
an archaeology of coal,

00:05:30.320 --> 00:05:32.270 align:middle line:90%
rings, layers.

00:05:32.270 --> 00:05:35.360 align:middle line:84%
Above, landscape
and the long walk,

00:05:35.360 --> 00:05:38.810 align:middle line:84%
the lives of the spirit
circular but centerless,

00:05:38.810 --> 00:05:41.330 align:middle line:84%
unless you find
it, subterranean,

00:05:41.330 --> 00:05:43.730 align:middle line:84%
another gnarled
root in the breach.

00:05:43.730 --> 00:05:47.930 align:middle line:84%
And an end so fleeting, it
will not reveal itself."

00:05:47.930 --> 00:05:48.590 align:middle line:90%
4.

00:05:48.590 --> 00:05:52.280 align:middle line:84%
Pero lo mío, dirás, lo que me
diste bajo la fronda caduca,

00:05:52.280 --> 00:05:55.820 align:middle line:84%
pantano de por medio y sin
espejos para fastidiar el

00:05:55.820 --> 00:05:59.360 align:middle line:84%
vínculo de la luz con la
huella de un gesto que se busca

00:05:59.360 --> 00:06:00.890 align:middle line:90%
estanque abajo.

00:06:00.890 --> 00:06:04.400 align:middle line:84%
Y créeme, si la
superficie no fuera opaca,

00:06:04.400 --> 00:06:06.470 align:middle line:90%
no se comiera los rasgos.

00:06:06.470 --> 00:06:10.730 align:middle line:84%
Una imagen resurrecta del fondo
tendría más sentido que este

00:06:10.730 --> 00:06:14.350 align:middle line:84%
modo de quererte consustancial,
aunque recordado,

00:06:14.350 --> 00:06:17.330 align:middle line:84%
alguien para quien la
piedad es utilaria:

00:06:17.330 --> 00:06:19.730 align:middle line:84%
salvar una vida
igual a ganar otra.

00:06:19.730 --> 00:06:24.050 align:middle line:84%
Perro, oveja, incluso
pastor destinado a la caída.

00:06:24.050 --> 00:06:25.190 align:middle line:90%
Qué suerte.

00:06:25.190 --> 00:06:28.730 align:middle line:84%
Tu ladera o tu arbusto tendrán
una estructura de un desgarre

00:06:28.730 --> 00:06:32.300 align:middle line:84%
súbito en el golpe y nada
que detenga el curso de esta

00:06:32.300 --> 00:06:33.710 align:middle line:90%
menudencia.

00:06:33.710 --> 00:06:36.860 align:middle line:84%
Que si no amas, no conoces
un estado de gracia.

00:06:36.860 --> 00:06:39.724 align:middle line:90%
Vaya que vienes de vuelta.

00:06:39.780 --> 00:06:41.180 align:middle line:90%
"Four.

00:06:41.180 --> 00:06:43.820 align:middle line:84%
But what is mine, you'll
say, what you gave me

00:06:43.820 --> 00:06:45.650 align:middle line:90%
under the falling fronds.

00:06:45.650 --> 00:06:48.350 align:middle line:84%
A swamp between
us without mirrors

00:06:48.350 --> 00:06:51.140 align:middle line:84%
to spoil the bond between
light, and the trace

00:06:51.140 --> 00:06:55.040 align:middle line:84%
of a gesture that looks for
itself further down the pool.

00:06:55.040 --> 00:06:58.100 align:middle line:84%
And believe me, if the
surface were not opaque,

00:06:58.100 --> 00:07:01.040 align:middle line:84%
not eating the features
away, the resurrected image

00:07:01.040 --> 00:07:02.960 align:middle line:84%
of the bottom would
make more sense

00:07:02.960 --> 00:07:05.690 align:middle line:84%
than this way of loving
you, inseparable,

00:07:05.690 --> 00:07:07.310 align:middle line:90%
although remembered.

00:07:07.310 --> 00:07:11.090 align:middle line:84%
Someone for whom mercy is
useful, saving a life the same

00:07:11.090 --> 00:07:12.230 align:middle line:90%
as gaining another.

00:07:12.230 --> 00:07:16.040 align:middle line:84%
Dog, sheep, even shepherd
destined to fall.

00:07:16.040 --> 00:07:16.760 align:middle line:90%
How lucky.

00:07:16.760 --> 00:07:19.910 align:middle line:84%
Your hillside or your shrub
will have the same structure

00:07:19.910 --> 00:07:23.040 align:middle line:84%
of a tear in the impact,
with nothing to detain

00:07:23.040 --> 00:07:24.290 align:middle line:90%
the course of this minuteness.

00:07:24.290 --> 00:07:26.570 align:middle line:90%


00:07:26.570 --> 00:07:28.070 align:middle line:84%
You think that if
you don't love you

00:07:28.070 --> 00:07:30.260 align:middle line:90%
can't know a state of grace?

00:07:30.260 --> 00:07:32.630 align:middle line:90%
You've seen it all before."

00:07:32.630 --> 00:07:33.950 align:middle line:90%
5.

00:07:33.950 --> 00:07:35.870 align:middle line:90%
Cómo se lanza el perro.

00:07:35.870 --> 00:07:37.790 align:middle line:90%
Se zambulle el perro.

00:07:37.790 --> 00:07:41.210 align:middle line:84%
Patalea con el rocío y
muerde el fango el perro.

00:07:41.210 --> 00:07:43.010 align:middle line:90%
Se paraliza el perro.

00:07:43.010 --> 00:07:47.340 align:middle line:84%
Husmea con su miedo las burbujas
malolientes y traga tiniebla

00:07:47.340 --> 00:07:51.200 align:middle line:84%
a bocanadas el perro hasta
que muere con su friso de alma

00:07:51.200 --> 00:07:55.120 align:middle line:84%
santa en la orilla reclamando
pequeños milagros al pasto para

00:07:55.120 --> 00:07:55.990 align:middle line:90%
nada.

00:07:55.990 --> 00:07:59.500 align:middle line:84%
Ni un ladrido que prevenga a
otros contra los juegos de la

00:07:59.500 --> 00:08:01.930 align:middle line:90%
noche falsa y tibia, tibia.

00:08:01.930 --> 00:08:04.480 align:middle line:90%
Con tanta rana rayando el alba.

00:08:04.480 --> 00:08:06.860 align:middle line:90%
Sapos y zancudos en su guerra.

00:08:06.860 --> 00:08:11.210 align:middle line:84%
Ardillas en la copa dándole las
vueltas del vértigo al zurrón.

00:08:11.210 --> 00:08:13.750 align:middle line:84%
Y la zorra sin
ardid en la trampa.

00:08:13.750 --> 00:08:16.570 align:middle line:84%
Su pánico puro
trizándose la pata.

00:08:16.570 --> 00:08:20.270 align:middle line:84%
Hasta que muere la zorra y se
hace un silencio venidero de la

00:08:20.270 --> 00:08:23.920 align:middle line:84%
culpa a la virtud,
simple cruz y polilla.

00:08:23.920 --> 00:08:26.852 align:middle line:84%
Ningún mediador para las
costumbres de la carne y el

00:08:26.852 --> 00:08:30.340 align:middle line:84%
hueso tan frágil que dejará
astillas en alguna senda del

00:08:30.340 --> 00:08:34.120 align:middle line:84%
bien, donde no se
eleva ni el polvo.

00:08:34.120 --> 00:08:37.570 align:middle line:84%
Zarigüeya no, castor
atraviesa esta leyenda.

00:08:37.570 --> 00:08:39.250 align:middle line:90%
Lomo de pelo fino.

00:08:39.250 --> 00:08:41.260 align:middle line:90%
Cola dura que aplana el barro.

00:08:41.260 --> 00:08:45.160 align:middle line:84%
Fabrica la casa para obviar
el mundo con modestia.

00:08:45.160 --> 00:08:47.670 align:middle line:90%
Crece sobre el río su refugio.

00:08:47.670 --> 00:08:49.790 align:middle line:84%
Río de acá en el
río con la risa.

00:08:49.790 --> 00:08:51.280 align:middle line:90%
Rizo de humo.

00:08:51.280 --> 00:08:54.850 align:middle line:84%
Un animal sin yermo aunque
sea seco y de nadie.

00:08:54.850 --> 00:08:56.380 align:middle line:90%
Perro más perro.

00:08:56.380 --> 00:08:58.720 align:middle line:90%
Lince de cadencia distinta.

00:08:58.720 --> 00:09:03.110 align:middle line:90%
Los loros los pongo yo y yo.


00:09:03.140 --> 00:09:04.766 align:middle line:90%
"Five.

00:09:04.766 --> 00:09:06.650 align:middle line:90%
How the dog pounces.

00:09:06.650 --> 00:09:08.300 align:middle line:90%
The dog dives.

00:09:08.300 --> 00:09:11.480 align:middle line:84%
The dog stamps in the
dew and bites the mud.

00:09:11.480 --> 00:09:14.330 align:middle line:84%
The dog stops suddenly,
sniffs in fear

00:09:14.330 --> 00:09:17.900 align:middle line:84%
the stinking bubbles
and swallows mouthfuls

00:09:17.900 --> 00:09:21.560 align:middle line:84%
of darkness until the
dog dies with its frieze

00:09:21.560 --> 00:09:24.110 align:middle line:84%
of a healthy soul on
the bank, demanding

00:09:24.110 --> 00:09:27.230 align:middle line:84%
small miracles of the
grass for nothing, not even

00:09:27.230 --> 00:09:30.620 align:middle line:84%
a bark to warn the others
about the games of the night.

00:09:30.620 --> 00:09:35.570 align:middle line:84%
False and warm, warm, with so
many frogs at break of day.

00:09:35.570 --> 00:09:37.850 align:middle line:84%
Toads and mosquitoes
in their war.

00:09:37.850 --> 00:09:40.790 align:middle line:84%
Squirrels in their treetops,
giving dizzy shakes

00:09:40.790 --> 00:09:41.960 align:middle line:90%
to the husks.

00:09:41.960 --> 00:09:44.510 align:middle line:84%
And the fox,
defenseless in the trap,

00:09:44.510 --> 00:09:47.710 align:middle line:84%
for sheer panic tearing
up the paw, until the fox

00:09:47.710 --> 00:09:51.620 align:middle line:84%
dies, creating a future
silence from guilt to virtue.

00:09:51.620 --> 00:09:54.680 align:middle line:84%
Simple cross and
moth, no mediator

00:09:54.680 --> 00:09:57.710 align:middle line:84%
for the habits of flesh
and bone, so fragile

00:09:57.710 --> 00:10:01.070 align:middle line:84%
it leaves splinters
along some path of good

00:10:01.070 --> 00:10:03.920 align:middle line:90%
where not even dust rises.

00:10:03.920 --> 00:10:07.730 align:middle line:84%
Not opossum, beaver travels
through this legend,

00:10:07.730 --> 00:10:11.480 align:middle line:84%
fine haired back, hard
tail slapping the mud,

00:10:11.480 --> 00:10:15.680 align:middle line:84%
making a house to shut out
the world with modesty.

00:10:15.680 --> 00:10:17.810 align:middle line:84%
Its refuge grows
above the river.

00:10:17.810 --> 00:10:20.780 align:middle line:84%
The river here and the
river with laughter,

00:10:20.780 --> 00:10:24.140 align:middle line:84%
curl of smoke, my animals
without a wasteland,

00:10:24.140 --> 00:10:26.690 align:middle line:90%
not even dry or uninhabited.

00:10:26.690 --> 00:10:30.470 align:middle line:84%
Dog, and dog, lyns of
a different cadence,

00:10:30.470 --> 00:10:32.360 align:middle line:90%
the parrots I invent.

00:10:32.360 --> 00:10:33.530 align:middle line:90%
And I."

00:10:33.530 --> 00:10:35.330 align:middle line:90%
Thank you very much.

00:10:35.330 --> 00:10:38.680 align:middle line:90%
[APPLAUSE]

00:10:38.680 --> 00:10:45.000 align:middle line:90%
