"In the Balance."

00:00:03.480 --> 00:00:06.690 align:middle line:84%
This comes from a
book called Faces.

00:00:06.690 --> 00:00:09.270 align:middle line:90%
"In the Balance."

00:00:09.270 --> 00:00:11.910 align:middle line:84%
"So you can have
that brilliant smile,

00:00:11.910 --> 00:00:16.050 align:middle line:84%
somebody else must take
your share of crying.

00:00:16.050 --> 00:00:19.050 align:middle line:84%
So you can touch the
polestar with your mast,

00:00:19.050 --> 00:00:23.670 align:middle line:84%
somebody else must plummet,
leaden, to the bottom.

00:00:23.670 --> 00:00:26.670 align:middle line:84%
So you can be the
lovebirds, nestling

00:00:26.670 --> 00:00:30.990 align:middle line:84%
happy in your sleepy weather,
someone else must brood alone

00:00:30.990 --> 00:00:34.920 align:middle line:84%
at night, without a wink,
and think, and shiver,

00:00:34.920 --> 00:00:38.100 align:middle line:84%
hours like an owl in
the wind, and come

00:00:38.100 --> 00:00:41.440 align:middle line:90%
undone so you can be together.

00:00:41.440 --> 00:00:43.710 align:middle line:84%
So that you can
climb the rock face

00:00:43.710 --> 00:00:47.730 align:middle line:84%
to the sunny spot above,
somebody else is giving you

00:00:47.730 --> 00:00:51.390 align:middle line:84%
support from in the shadows
of the mountain shelf,

00:00:51.390 --> 00:00:55.710 align:middle line:84%
someone whose nerve is twisted
there above the last abyss,

00:00:55.710 --> 00:00:59.930 align:middle line:84%
above disaster,
somebody above himself."
