I read something, a reference
to Echo and Narcissus.

00:00:05.320 --> 00:00:07.780 align:middle line:84%
And I knew I was supposed to
know that, so I looked it up,

00:00:07.780 --> 00:00:11.200 align:middle line:90%
and the poem came out of it.

00:00:11.200 --> 00:00:14.230 align:middle line:84%
"The Marriage of
Echo and Narcissus."

00:00:14.230 --> 00:00:19.000 align:middle line:84%
He is having sex, earnestly,
trying to learn how.

00:00:19.000 --> 00:00:22.330 align:middle line:84%
She is making love,
lovingly, believing

00:00:22.330 --> 00:00:27.530 align:middle line:84%
she's in love because
incapable of duplicity.

00:00:27.530 --> 00:00:31.100 align:middle line:84%
He won't speak except
to ask, who are you?

00:00:31.100 --> 00:00:35.780 align:middle line:84%
She can only echo, like
a child, who are you?

00:00:35.780 --> 00:00:38.960 align:middle line:84%
As long as he doesn't
answer, he doesn't know.

00:00:38.960 --> 00:00:43.040 align:middle line:84%
And as long as she pines
for the one who isn't there,

00:00:43.040 --> 00:00:45.080 align:middle line:90%
they'll stay like this forever.

00:00:45.080 --> 00:00:48.920 align:middle line:84%
Because we put them there,
to work through the paradigm,

00:00:48.920 --> 00:00:51.340 align:middle line:90%
trying to get it right.
