00:00:00.960 --> 00:00:01.460 align:middle line:90%
"Eros."

00:00:01.460 --> 00:00:05.430 align:middle line:90%


00:00:05.430 --> 00:00:08.580 align:middle line:84%
"I had thrown my chair
to the hotel window,

00:00:08.580 --> 00:00:11.640 align:middle line:90%
to watch the rain.

00:00:11.640 --> 00:00:17.400 align:middle line:84%
I was in a kind of dream, or
trance -- in love and yet,

00:00:17.400 --> 00:00:18.330 align:middle line:90%
I wanted nothing.

00:00:18.330 --> 00:00:21.060 align:middle line:90%


00:00:21.060 --> 00:00:27.180 align:middle line:84%
It seemed unnecessary to
touch you, to see you again.

00:00:27.180 --> 00:00:32.250 align:middle line:84%
I wanted only this:
The room, the chair,

00:00:32.250 --> 00:00:35.790 align:middle line:84%
the sound of the
rain falling hour

00:00:35.790 --> 00:00:41.310 align:middle line:84%
after hour in the warmth
of the spring night.

00:00:41.310 --> 00:00:47.010 align:middle line:84%
I needed nothing more,
I was utterly sated.

00:00:47.010 --> 00:00:53.580 align:middle line:84%
My heart had become small; it
took very little to fill it.

00:00:53.580 --> 00:00:56.220 align:middle line:84%
I watched the rain
falling in heavy sheets

00:00:56.220 --> 00:01:00.000 align:middle line:90%
over the darkened city.

00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:02.700 align:middle line:90%
You were not concerned.

00:01:02.700 --> 00:01:06.060 align:middle line:84%
I could let you live
as you needed to live.

00:01:06.060 --> 00:01:09.550 align:middle line:90%


00:01:09.550 --> 00:01:12.760 align:middle line:90%
At dawn the rain abated.

00:01:12.760 --> 00:01:17.020 align:middle line:84%
I did the things one does in
daylight, I acquitted myself,

00:01:17.020 --> 00:01:20.560 align:middle line:90%
but I moved like a sleepwalker.

00:01:20.560 --> 00:01:25.480 align:middle line:84%
It was enough, and it
no longer involved you.

00:01:25.480 --> 00:01:27.640 align:middle line:90%
A few days in the strange city.

00:01:27.640 --> 00:01:31.840 align:middle line:84%
A conversation, the
touch of a hand.

00:01:31.840 --> 00:01:37.750 align:middle line:84%
And afterward, I took
off my wedding ring.

00:01:37.750 --> 00:01:42.270 align:middle line:84%
That was what I
wanted: to be naked."
