I get this on fine,

00:02:55.050 --> 00:02:58.590 align:middle line:84%
because among other
things, because there's

00:02:58.590 --> 00:03:01.860 align:middle line:84%
so many good writers
here and, because there's

00:03:01.860 --> 00:03:06.720 align:middle line:84%
such a serious attention given
to literature, poetry included.

00:03:06.720 --> 00:03:09.780 align:middle line:90%


00:03:09.780 --> 00:03:14.360 align:middle line:84%
