00:00:00.690 --> 00:00:02.520 align:middle line:84%
He says he will
read another for us.

00:00:02.520 --> 00:00:04.380 align:middle line:90%
[LAUGHTER]

00:00:04.380 --> 00:00:05.310 align:middle line:90%


00:00:05.310 --> 00:00:06.030 align:middle line:90%
Just getting me.

00:00:06.030 --> 00:00:12.700 align:middle line:90%


00:00:12.700 --> 00:00:16.340 align:middle line:84%
Let's play a game, a little bit
at gamble and see what I find.

00:00:16.340 --> 00:00:19.721 align:middle line:90%
[LAUGHTER]

00:00:19.721 --> 00:00:24.560 align:middle line:90%


00:00:24.560 --> 00:00:26.127 align:middle line:90%
That wouldn't do.

00:00:26.127 --> 00:00:29.536 align:middle line:90%
[LAUGHTER]

00:00:29.536 --> 00:00:40.750 align:middle line:90%


00:00:40.750 --> 00:00:43.650 align:middle line:84%
It's called "Riddle
in the Garden."

00:00:43.650 --> 00:00:48.030 align:middle line:84%
This is a garden of
extraordinary lushness

00:00:48.030 --> 00:00:53.640 align:middle line:84%
and fruitfulness, a ruined
garden on a Mediterranean

00:00:53.640 --> 00:00:56.100 align:middle line:90%
island.

00:00:56.100 --> 00:01:03.150 align:middle line:84%
My mind is intact but the
shapes of the world change.

00:01:03.150 --> 00:01:07.750 align:middle line:84%
The peach has released the
bough and at last makes

00:01:07.750 --> 00:01:10.140 align:middle line:90%
a full confession.

00:01:10.140 --> 00:01:14.220 align:middle line:84%
Its pudeur has departed
like peach fuzz wiped off,

00:01:14.220 --> 00:01:18.420 align:middle line:84%
and we now know how
the hot sweetness

00:01:18.420 --> 00:01:24.630 align:middle line:84%
of flesh and juice-dark
hug the rough peach pit.

00:01:24.630 --> 00:01:28.710 align:middle line:84%
We know its most
suicidal yearnings.

00:01:28.710 --> 00:01:32.250 align:middle line:90%
It wants to suffer extremely.

00:01:32.250 --> 00:01:38.490 align:middle line:84%
It loves God, and I warn
you, do not touch that plum,

00:01:38.490 --> 00:01:41.400 align:middle line:90%
it will burn like a blister.

00:01:41.400 --> 00:01:43.200 align:middle line:84%
It'll be on your
finger, a blister

00:01:43.200 --> 00:01:46.920 align:middle line:84%
and you will put the finger
to your lips for relief.

00:01:46.920 --> 00:01:53.130 align:middle line:84%
Oh do be careful not to break
that soft, gray bulge of fruit

00:01:53.130 --> 00:01:58.110 align:middle line:84%
skin of blister, for
exposing that inwardness

00:01:58.110 --> 00:02:04.890 align:middle line:84%
will increase your pain, for
you are part of the world.

00:02:04.890 --> 00:02:08.820 align:middle line:84%
You think I am
speaking in riddles.

00:02:08.820 --> 00:02:16.110 align:middle line:84%
But I am not, for the
world means only itself.

00:02:16.110 --> 00:02:17.000 align:middle line:90%
Thank you.

00:02:17.000 --> 00:02:20.050 align:middle line:90%
[APPLAUSE]
