00:00:00.970 --> 00:00:04.740 align:middle line:84%
And I was kind of playing
around with mythical--

00:00:04.740 --> 00:00:08.100 align:middle line:84%
there's a lot of ways
in which Krazy is always

00:00:08.100 --> 00:00:11.670 align:middle line:84%
envisioning Ignatz as
this icon of the past.

00:00:11.670 --> 00:00:18.210 align:middle line:84%
She'll see a sphinx or
something with his image on it.

00:00:18.210 --> 00:00:28.700 align:middle line:84%
And so this is one of
those, kind of [INAUDIBLE]..

00:00:28.700 --> 00:00:30.620 align:middle line:90%
"Afterwards, Ignatz rose.

00:00:30.620 --> 00:00:32.540 align:middle line:84%
And without taking
his leave of them,

00:00:32.540 --> 00:00:35.090 align:middle line:84%
open the sliding glass
door and vanished

00:00:35.090 --> 00:00:37.160 align:middle line:90%
onto that lightless beach.

00:00:37.160 --> 00:00:39.440 align:middle line:84%
And there were those who
later said that he never

00:00:39.440 --> 00:00:41.030 align:middle line:90%
opened that door--

00:00:41.030 --> 00:00:43.940 align:middle line:84%
that the molecules of
glass parted at his touch.

00:00:43.940 --> 00:00:46.820 align:middle line:84%
Or still others, that he
stepped through the glass door

00:00:46.820 --> 00:00:49.850 align:middle line:84%
as some of his brothers might
move swiftly through a downpour

00:00:49.850 --> 00:00:51.170 align:middle line:90%
while never being wetted.

00:00:51.170 --> 00:00:54.260 align:middle line:84%
For as his brothers were to
the common run of men, so

00:00:54.260 --> 00:00:57.560 align:middle line:84%
it is said that Ignatz
was to his brothers.

00:00:57.560 --> 00:01:00.020 align:middle line:84%
But these were only
tales told by those

00:01:00.020 --> 00:01:04.670 align:middle line:84%
who through laziness, or envy,
or through a foolish desire,

00:01:04.670 --> 00:01:07.040 align:middle line:84%
will seek enchantment
in any action

00:01:07.040 --> 00:01:08.930 align:middle line:90%
beyond their own abilities.

00:01:08.930 --> 00:01:13.130 align:middle line:84%
Such men thirst for wonders
as others thirst for gin.

00:01:13.130 --> 00:01:15.680 align:middle line:84%
And their stories
are not explanations

00:01:15.680 --> 00:01:18.860 align:middle line:84%
but that heady brew
of their own desiring.

00:01:18.860 --> 00:01:22.310 align:middle line:84%
For the fact was, that
Ignatz slid open the door,

00:01:22.310 --> 00:01:24.530 align:middle line:84%
stepped through, and
slid it shut again so

00:01:24.530 --> 00:01:26.870 align:middle line:84%
smoothly and swiftly
that to distinguish

00:01:26.870 --> 00:01:28.820 align:middle line:84%
one action from
the other would be

00:01:28.820 --> 00:01:31.490 align:middle line:84%
to count the blades of
a flying helicopter.

00:01:31.490 --> 00:01:34.760 align:middle line:84%
And that good door,
well-greased in its gasket,

00:01:34.760 --> 00:01:38.570 align:middle line:84%
did not betray him by a
single ill-timed creak.

00:01:38.570 --> 00:01:42.660 align:middle line:84%
To that by the time that they
saw that he had gone from them,

00:01:42.660 --> 00:01:46.250 align:middle line:84%
his dark head was already lost
in the black waves of sand

00:01:46.250 --> 00:01:48.590 align:middle line:90%
and the black waves of water.

00:01:48.590 --> 00:01:51.980 align:middle line:84%
And even then, there were those
who would have gone after him

00:01:51.980 --> 00:01:55.970 align:middle line:84%
and had risen from their seats
with brave and defiant words.

00:01:55.970 --> 00:01:58.970 align:middle line:84%
But they were stayed by the
wise counsels of others,

00:01:58.970 --> 00:02:01.670 align:middle line:84%
who admonished them that it
would be as well to tether

00:02:01.670 --> 00:02:04.490 align:middle line:84%
an 18-wheeler with a
filament of spider web

00:02:04.490 --> 00:02:07.160 align:middle line:84%
as to dissuade Ignatz
with their pleading

00:02:07.160 --> 00:02:10.360 align:middle line:90%
from his chosen itinerary."
