00:00:00.810 --> 00:00:06.330 align:middle line:84%
And this one is about the
generations, the relationship

00:00:06.330 --> 00:00:10.140 align:middle line:84%
of the generations,
Turgenev's Fathers and Sons,

00:00:10.140 --> 00:00:13.620 align:middle line:84%
and that great story at the
beginning of Gertrude Stein's

00:00:13.620 --> 00:00:15.000 align:middle line:90%
Making of America.

00:00:15.000 --> 00:00:19.080 align:middle line:84%
Making of Americans where the
father and son is dragging

00:00:19.080 --> 00:00:23.760 align:middle line:84%
the father by the hair
through the family orchard,

00:00:23.760 --> 00:00:26.580 align:middle line:84%
and they get so far, and
the father cries out,

00:00:26.580 --> 00:00:28.110 align:middle line:90%
and he says, "Stop.

00:00:28.110 --> 00:00:30.720 align:middle line:84%
This is as far as I
dragged my father."

00:00:30.720 --> 00:00:33.960 align:middle line:90%


00:00:33.960 --> 00:00:37.230 align:middle line:84%
This one is called
Step On His Head.

00:00:37.230 --> 00:00:40.350 align:middle line:84%
"Let's step on daddy's
head shout the children

00:00:40.350 --> 00:00:45.270 align:middle line:84%
my dear children as we walk in
the country on a sunny summer

00:00:45.270 --> 00:00:46.470 align:middle line:90%
day.

00:00:46.470 --> 00:00:50.730 align:middle line:84%
My shadow bobs dark on the
road as we walk and they

00:00:50.730 --> 00:00:54.210 align:middle line:84%
jump on its head
and my love of them

00:00:54.210 --> 00:00:57.660 align:middle line:84%
fills me all full
of soft feelings.

00:00:57.660 --> 00:01:02.400 align:middle line:84%
Now I duck with my head so
they'll miss when they jump

00:01:02.400 --> 00:01:04.540 align:middle line:90%
and they screech with delight.

00:01:04.540 --> 00:01:09.480 align:middle line:84%
And I moan, oh you're hurting
you're hurting me, stop.

00:01:09.480 --> 00:01:14.190 align:middle line:84%
And they jump all the harder
and love fills the whole road.

00:01:14.190 --> 00:01:19.560 align:middle line:84%
But I see it run on through the
years and I know how some day

00:01:19.560 --> 00:01:24.420 align:middle line:84%
they must jump when it won't
be this shadow, but really

00:01:24.420 --> 00:01:25.920 align:middle line:90%
my head--

00:01:25.920 --> 00:01:29.070 align:middle line:84%
as I stepped on my
own father's head--

00:01:29.070 --> 00:01:34.020 align:middle line:84%
it will hurt really hurt
and I wonder if then I

00:01:34.020 --> 00:01:37.350 align:middle line:84%
will have love enough
will I have love enough

00:01:37.350 --> 00:01:40.250 align:middle line:90%
when it's not just a game?"

00:01:40.250 --> 00:01:41.000 align:middle line:90%
