00:00:02.280 --> 00:00:07.710 align:middle line:84%
Again, a poem translated
by myself, so again,

00:00:07.710 --> 00:00:11.070 align:middle line:90%
an imperfect version, I think.

00:00:11.070 --> 00:00:12.015 align:middle line:90%
"Without Shape".

00:00:12.015 --> 00:00:15.780 align:middle line:90%


00:00:15.780 --> 00:00:23.130 align:middle line:84%
"If only this existed, a tree
on which a star slumbers,

00:00:23.130 --> 00:00:28.980 align:middle line:84%
empty cathedral in Chartres,
and a guide who is in a hurry,

00:00:28.980 --> 00:00:31.890 align:middle line:84%
and women who wait
for the train,

00:00:31.890 --> 00:00:35.850 align:middle line:90%
and music cold as longing.

00:00:35.850 --> 00:00:40.320 align:middle line:84%
If only this exists,
governments which

00:00:40.320 --> 00:00:45.480 align:middle line:84%
hire ministers, and ministers
who hire police officers,

00:00:45.480 --> 00:00:50.580 align:middle line:84%
and a little fairy who
kisses their wax lips in bed,

00:00:50.580 --> 00:00:55.890 align:middle line:84%
and dissidents who protest, and
protesters who march together

00:00:55.890 --> 00:01:01.320 align:middle line:84%
with their smiling kids,
and music cold as longing,

00:01:01.320 --> 00:01:06.180 align:middle line:84%
and the force which
doesn't fall asleep.

00:01:06.180 --> 00:01:12.660 align:middle line:84%
If only this exists, and
poets' death masks, and traces

00:01:12.660 --> 00:01:18.210 align:middle line:84%
of giants in high mountains,
and elegant Blacks who do not

00:01:18.210 --> 00:01:24.180 align:middle line:84%
see me, and Keats, who weeps,
and those who are absent,

00:01:24.180 --> 00:01:27.990 align:middle line:84%
and traces as light as
the amount of arsenic

00:01:27.990 --> 00:01:35.460 align:middle line:84%
in Napoleon's hair, and immobile
masks on the frozen faces,

00:01:35.460 --> 00:01:38.610 align:middle line:84%
the museums of dreams
which are closed.

00:01:38.610 --> 00:01:44.250 align:middle line:84%
And the force that doesn't want
to fall asleep, and symbols

00:01:44.250 --> 00:01:50.370 align:middle line:84%
of freemasonry that Mozart has
hidden, even in his Requiem,

00:01:50.370 --> 00:01:55.600 align:middle line:84%
cheating God, so many
unexpressed things.

00:01:55.600 --> 00:01:58.440 align:middle line:84%
And women who must
live in our time,

00:01:58.440 --> 00:02:03.840 align:middle line:84%
though they didn't ask for
it, and countries once freed,

00:02:03.840 --> 00:02:08.550 align:middle line:84%
and now peeled like
apples, and the weather,

00:02:08.550 --> 00:02:15.290 align:middle line:84%
so changeable, and myself,
mature without shape."
