00:00:01.500 --> 00:00:04.620 align:middle line:84%
Here's one I'd like
to read the students.

00:00:04.620 --> 00:00:08.880 align:middle line:84%
"An Emeritus
Addresses the School."

00:00:08.880 --> 00:00:11.820 align:middle line:90%
No one can wish nothing.

00:00:11.820 --> 00:00:16.410 align:middle line:84%
Even that death wish sophomores
and nouveau glib about reaches

00:00:16.410 --> 00:00:18.570 align:middle line:90%
for a change of notice.

00:00:18.570 --> 00:00:22.590 align:middle line:84%
I'll have you know, it will
say, 30 years later to its son,

00:00:22.590 --> 00:00:28.530 align:middle line:84%
I was once widely recognized for
the quality of my death wish.

00:00:28.530 --> 00:00:31.170 align:middle line:84%
That was before three
years of navel reading

00:00:31.170 --> 00:00:34.050 align:middle line:84%
with a guru, who
reluctantly concluded

00:00:34.050 --> 00:00:36.825 align:middle line:90%
some souls are bank tellers.

00:00:36.825 --> 00:00:38.730 align:middle line:90%
[LAUGHTER]

00:00:38.730 --> 00:00:40.590 align:middle line:84%
Perhaps, more than
one would think

00:00:40.590 --> 00:00:43.890 align:middle line:84%
at the altitude of
Intro Psych or turned on

00:00:43.890 --> 00:00:48.720 align:middle line:84%
to a first raga or joining
Polyglots Anonymous.

00:00:48.720 --> 00:00:51.030 align:middle line:84%
One trouble with this
year's avant-garde

00:00:51.030 --> 00:00:53.370 align:middle line:84%
is that it has already
taken it 50 years

00:00:53.370 --> 00:00:57.600 align:middle line:84%
to be behind the avant-garde
of the 20s, with the crash

00:00:57.600 --> 00:00:58.290 align:middle line:90%
yet to come.

00:00:58.290 --> 00:00:59.460 align:middle line:90%
[LAUGHTER]

00:00:59.460 --> 00:01:03.840 align:middle line:84%
And even free souls by wise
fall in love with automobiles

00:01:03.840 --> 00:01:06.270 align:middle line:90%
and marry a mortgage.

00:01:06.270 --> 00:01:09.960 align:middle line:84%
At 50, semi
sustained by bourbon,

00:01:09.960 --> 00:01:13.380 align:middle line:84%
you wonder what the kids
see in that galactic twang

00:01:13.380 --> 00:01:16.710 align:middle line:90%
they dance the cosmic conk to.

00:01:16.710 --> 00:01:20.160 align:middle line:84%
You will have forgotten
such energy, its illusion

00:01:20.160 --> 00:01:22.140 align:middle line:90%
of violent freedoms.

00:01:22.140 --> 00:01:26.160 align:middle line:84%
You must suffer memory to
understanding in the blare

00:01:26.160 --> 00:01:28.680 align:middle line:90%
of a music that tires you.

00:01:28.680 --> 00:01:31.440 align:middle line:84%
There does come a
death wish, but you

00:01:31.440 --> 00:01:33.840 align:middle line:84%
will be trapped
by your begetting,

00:01:33.840 --> 00:01:36.930 align:middle line:84%
love what you have
given, be left

00:01:36.930 --> 00:01:42.960 align:middle line:84%
waiting in a noise for the
word that must be whispered.

00:01:42.960 --> 00:01:45.390 align:middle line:90%
No one can wish nothing.

00:01:45.390 --> 00:01:48.420 align:middle line:84%
You can learn to
wish for so little

00:01:48.420 --> 00:01:53.160 align:middle line:84%
that a word might turn you
all the bent ways to love.

00:01:53.160 --> 00:01:55.260 align:middle line:90%
Its mercies, practiced.

00:01:55.260 --> 00:02:01.320 align:middle line:84%
Its one day at a time, begun,
and lived, and slept on,

00:02:01.320 --> 00:02:03.170 align:middle line:90%
and begun.

00:02:03.170 --> 00:02:05.000 align:middle line:90%
