00:00:01.420 --> 00:00:05.320 align:middle line:84%
This next section is
about my young adult life.

00:00:05.320 --> 00:00:06.340 align:middle line:90%
I've grown from it.

00:00:06.340 --> 00:00:09.124 align:middle line:90%


00:00:09.124 --> 00:00:11.140 align:middle line:90%
I hope I'm not going too fast.

00:00:11.140 --> 00:00:11.640 align:middle line:90%
OK.

00:00:11.640 --> 00:00:15.190 align:middle line:84%
It's hard to take a
lot of points too fast.

00:00:15.190 --> 00:00:17.080 align:middle line:90%
The Splinter.

00:00:17.080 --> 00:00:20.830 align:middle line:84%
I had a little silver mannequin,
who walked, and talked,

00:00:20.830 --> 00:00:22.330 align:middle line:90%
and petted me.

00:00:22.330 --> 00:00:23.590 align:middle line:90%
I pampered him.

00:00:23.590 --> 00:00:25.090 align:middle line:90%
He pampered me.

00:00:25.090 --> 00:00:27.100 align:middle line:90%
We were convivial.

00:00:27.100 --> 00:00:32.110 align:middle line:84%
On the gray streets of many a
gray city, he worked with me.

00:00:32.110 --> 00:00:34.900 align:middle line:84%
Oh, then, how
miniature was then?

00:00:34.900 --> 00:00:37.540 align:middle line:84%
How clear its purpose
like a looking glass

00:00:37.540 --> 00:00:40.960 align:middle line:90%
to show me my young girl skin?

00:00:40.960 --> 00:00:45.910 align:middle line:84%
But I looked and looked again,
and saw blue cadaverous vein.

00:00:45.910 --> 00:00:48.220 align:middle line:90%
I will grow old, I cried.

00:00:48.220 --> 00:00:50.050 align:middle line:90%
You are a silver groom.

00:00:50.050 --> 00:00:52.540 align:middle line:90%
I will be a brown leather bride.

00:00:52.540 --> 00:00:54.490 align:middle line:90%
You are imperishable.

00:00:54.490 --> 00:00:57.850 align:middle line:84%
Still by my side, you
will shine in the wine

00:00:57.850 --> 00:01:00.370 align:middle line:90%
that puckers my hide.

00:01:00.370 --> 00:01:04.060 align:middle line:84%
And in these sad reflections,
I took the silver hammer

00:01:04.060 --> 00:01:06.610 align:middle line:90%
made of words and hit him.

00:01:06.610 --> 00:01:11.080 align:middle line:84%
And he shattered like bright
birds flying in all directions.

00:01:11.080 --> 00:01:14.350 align:middle line:84%
All night and all
eternity I cried.

00:01:14.350 --> 00:01:16.900 align:middle line:84%
And in the morning
via the gray light,

00:01:16.900 --> 00:01:19.480 align:middle line:84%
I found this
splinter in my side.

00:01:19.480 --> 00:01:22.840 align:middle line:84%
And when I drew it out,
I saw it was glass.

00:01:22.840 --> 00:01:27.190 align:middle line:84%
The finest concave mirror,
silver, white, and backed

00:01:27.190 --> 00:01:29.350 align:middle line:90%
with that brightest silver.

00:01:29.350 --> 00:01:32.470 align:middle line:84%
Oh, yes, he was a
mannequin of glass

00:01:32.470 --> 00:01:35.830 align:middle line:84%
with all his light
turned in and mirrored

00:01:35.830 --> 00:01:38.700 align:middle line:90%
in the dark, the mannequin.

00:01:38.700 --> 00:01:40.000 align:middle line:90%
