Philip Larkin, Ezra Pound.

00:00:07.410 --> 00:00:09.240 align:middle line:84%
In one of his more
lucid moments,

00:00:09.240 --> 00:00:10.620 align:middle line:84%

and Andy Pettitte.

00:00:29.760 --> 00:00:32.610 align:middle line:84%
Trade the warrior
Pettitte for smelted ore.

00:00:32.610 --> 00:00:34.950 align:middle line:90%
Let it cool in a Roman spring.
