You've got to listen in
the beginning real careful,

00:00:11.440 --> 00:00:13.390 align:middle line:84%
because there's like
20 pages of narrative

00:00:13.390 --> 00:00:17.050 align:middle line:90%
packed into a couple of lines.

00:00:17.050 --> 00:00:18.520 align:middle line:90%

They made love in his attic
room, off the Via Anselmo.

00:00:28.150 --> 00:00:32.229 align:middle line:84%
Funny to remember that,
she says, but not his name.

00:00:32.229 --> 00:00:33.940 align:middle line:90%
I was 17.

00:00:33.940 --> 00:00:37.840 align:middle line:84%
She named the baby
Anselmo, half his mother

00:00:37.840 --> 00:00:40.840 align:middle line:84%
and half the entire
land of Italy.

00:00:40.840 --> 00:00:46.460 align:middle line:84%
On that long walk, Anselmo
will never meet his father.

40 years pass.

The lover is--"

00:00:53.580 --> 00:00:55.620 align:middle line:90%
Well, I just revised it.

00:00:55.620 --> 00:00:56.880 align:middle line:90%
"40 years pass.

when it comes to him.

00:01:01.630 --> 00:01:05.370 align:middle line:84%
He's watching his
shadow pass an entryway,

her rounded, wholesome
body furious above his own.

Clairvoyant resonances turn
up everywhere we look--

00:01:15.090 --> 00:01:19.440 align:middle line:84%
footsteps on the walk,
the mailman come and gone.

00:01:19.440 --> 00:01:24.330 align:middle line:84%
That's not unusual, in
all of us the same thing

has gone missing."
