00:00:01.800 --> 00:00:03.810 align:middle line:84%
I've got a series
of poems in here

00:00:03.810 --> 00:00:07.830 align:middle line:84%
about Greek mythological figures
because those stories just

00:00:07.830 --> 00:00:09.090 align:middle line:90%
never get old, do they?

00:00:09.090 --> 00:00:12.970 align:middle line:90%
It's so remarkable.

00:00:12.970 --> 00:00:18.090 align:middle line:84%
So this is in the
voice of Eurydice

00:00:18.090 --> 00:00:25.680 align:middle line:84%
after she gets left behind,
when Orpheus takes off out

00:00:25.680 --> 00:00:29.070 align:middle line:90%
of the Underworld.

00:00:29.070 --> 00:00:30.080 align:middle line:90%
"Eurydice".

00:00:30.080 --> 00:00:32.720 align:middle line:90%


00:00:32.720 --> 00:00:36.680 align:middle line:84%
"Why couldn't you just
trust that I would follow?

00:00:36.680 --> 00:00:41.360 align:middle line:84%
Now I'm dodging
hijackers in Hell,

00:00:41.360 --> 00:00:45.920 align:middle line:84%
who can't stop looking for the
virgins they were promised,

00:00:45.920 --> 00:00:50.930 align:middle line:84%
while back on the ranch you sing
to the almond trees and lemurs,

00:00:50.930 --> 00:00:56.670 align:middle line:84%
your beauty made
great by your loss.

00:00:56.670 --> 00:01:01.950 align:middle line:84%
If I came as close as
I dared to the border,

00:01:01.950 --> 00:01:06.560 align:middle line:84%
if I begged you, if
I prayed, would you

00:01:06.560 --> 00:01:11.180 align:middle line:84%
come down to the
plane of my suffering?

00:01:11.180 --> 00:01:12.860 align:middle line:90%
Would you touch me?

00:01:12.860 --> 00:01:19.160 align:middle line:84%
Not as the god you've
become, but as the man who

00:01:19.160 --> 00:01:23.230 align:middle line:90%
returns from wounding exile."

00:01:23.230 --> 00:01:24.000 align:middle line:90%
