00:00:00.900 --> 00:00:04.620 align:middle line:84%
It's called,
"Visiting the Oracle."

00:00:04.620 --> 00:00:08.460 align:middle line:84%
And the poem is spoken
by the oracle, spoken

00:00:08.460 --> 00:00:11.340 align:middle line:84%
to someone who has
come to the oracle

00:00:11.340 --> 00:00:13.755 align:middle line:90%
to ask for news of the future.

00:00:13.755 --> 00:00:18.530 align:middle line:90%


00:00:18.530 --> 00:00:23.720 align:middle line:84%
It's dark on purpose
so just listen.

00:00:23.720 --> 00:00:29.360 align:middle line:84%
Maybe I inhabit a jar,
maybe a pot, maybe nothing.

00:00:29.360 --> 00:00:36.430 align:middle line:84%
Only this loose end of a
voice rising to meet you.

00:00:36.430 --> 00:00:39.550 align:middle line:90%
It sounds like water.

00:00:39.550 --> 00:00:42.580 align:middle line:90%
Don't think about that.

00:00:42.580 --> 00:00:45.520 align:middle line:84%
Let your servants climb
back down the mountain

00:00:45.520 --> 00:00:47.650 align:middle line:90%
by themselves.

00:00:47.650 --> 00:00:49.420 align:middle line:90%
I'll listen.

00:00:49.420 --> 00:00:53.230 align:middle line:84%
I'll tell you
everything I discover,

00:00:53.230 --> 00:00:57.910 align:middle line:90%
but I can't say what it means.

00:00:57.910 --> 00:01:02.980 align:middle line:84%
Someone will always assure
you of the best of fortunes,

00:01:02.980 --> 00:01:05.870 align:middle line:90%
but you know better.

00:01:05.870 --> 00:01:12.980 align:middle line:84%
And keep this in mind: The
answer reveals itself in time

00:01:12.980 --> 00:01:16.610 align:middle line:84%
like the clue that fits
perfectly and explains

00:01:16.610 --> 00:01:22.250 align:middle line:84%
everything after the
crime has been solved.

00:01:22.250 --> 00:01:27.140 align:middle line:84%
Then you will say:
I should have known.

00:01:27.140 --> 00:01:31.700 align:middle line:84%
It was there all along
and never even concealed,

00:01:31.700 --> 00:01:35.030 align:middle line:84%
like the story of the letter
overlooked by the thief

00:01:35.030 --> 00:01:40.060 align:middle line:90%
because it had not been hidden.

00:01:40.060 --> 00:01:44.730 align:middle line:90%
That's the trick, of course.

00:01:44.730 --> 00:01:47.330 align:middle line:90%
You don't need me.

00:01:47.330 --> 00:01:48.435 align:middle line:90%
