I wanted to read this one
because of the hand poem.

00:00:04.540 --> 00:00:08.860 align:middle line:84%
They're two short poems
from early in that book.

00:00:08.860 --> 00:00:10.340 align:middle line:90%
This one's called The Deluge.

00:00:10.340 --> 00:00:12.220 align:middle line:84%
And we were talking
about myth of course.

00:00:12.220 --> 00:00:18.460 align:middle line:84%
And this has to do
with almost every body

00:00:18.460 --> 00:00:23.350 align:middle line:84%
and every culture seems to
have an idea of a diluvian,

00:00:23.350 --> 00:00:24.850 align:middle line:90%
an antediluvian time.

00:00:24.850 --> 00:00:27.520 align:middle line:90%


00:00:27.520 --> 00:00:31.090 align:middle line:84%
Before there was a body,
an eye wandered in a forest

00:00:31.090 --> 00:00:34.120 align:middle line:90%
to see how it would be.

00:00:34.120 --> 00:00:35.950 align:middle line:84%
Only when the
trees were gone did

00:00:35.950 --> 00:00:39.640 align:middle line:84%
the veins appear, newly
joined and windowed.

00:00:39.640 --> 00:00:41.360 align:middle line:84%
And the eye embarked
in the body,

00:00:41.360 --> 00:00:44.740 align:middle line:84%
one of an only pair
on the rising waters

00:00:44.740 --> 00:00:48.500 align:middle line:84%
to watch for the end
of the rain of age.

00:00:48.500 --> 00:00:49.000 align:middle line:90%
