00:00:00.660 --> 00:00:03.270 align:middle line:84%
And here's another myth
of a bird called Robin.

00:00:03.270 --> 00:00:07.060 align:middle line:90%


00:00:07.060 --> 00:00:12.220 align:middle line:84%
One of these funny things
that happens in the spread

00:00:12.220 --> 00:00:15.550 align:middle line:84%
or imperialism or diffusion or
whatever you want to call it

00:00:15.550 --> 00:00:19.480 align:middle line:90%
of cultures, we have a robin.

00:00:19.480 --> 00:00:21.113 align:middle line:90%
And there's a robin in England.

00:00:21.113 --> 00:00:23.530 align:middle line:84%
The one was named for the
other, but they have very little

00:00:23.530 --> 00:00:24.770 align:middle line:90%
resemblance to each other.

00:00:24.770 --> 00:00:27.100 align:middle line:84%
And yet the myths of
the one get couched

00:00:27.100 --> 00:00:32.410 align:middle line:84%
under the perceptions of the
other, and that's what we are.

00:00:32.410 --> 00:00:33.910 align:middle line:84%
That's not what the
English language

00:00:33.910 --> 00:00:40.960 align:middle line:84%
when it was English whereas what
it is English ever intended.

00:00:40.960 --> 00:00:42.910 align:middle line:90%
The poem is called Robin.

00:00:42.910 --> 00:00:46.330 align:middle line:84%
And I don't mean to
say which robin it is.

00:00:46.330 --> 00:00:49.700 align:middle line:90%


00:00:49.700 --> 00:00:51.710 align:middle line:84%
In one of the
creations, the robin

00:00:51.710 --> 00:00:54.890 align:middle line:84%
invented the day in order
to escape from the owl.

00:00:54.890 --> 00:00:56.900 align:middle line:90%
And they killed Cock Robin.

00:00:56.900 --> 00:00:59.600 align:middle line:84%
And he entered the next
world when the world he knew

00:00:59.600 --> 00:01:02.870 align:middle line:84%
was utterly destroyed
many worlds before ours.

00:01:02.870 --> 00:01:06.560 align:middle line:84%
And he invented the
day for a new reason.

00:01:06.560 --> 00:01:12.400 align:middle line:84%
And again, we survived, we
survivors, without knowing why.

00:01:12.400 --> 00:01:13.000 align:middle line:90%
