00:00:01.410 --> 00:00:04.860 align:middle line:90%
"The Second Ceremony," Gabriel.

00:00:04.860 --> 00:00:09.000 align:middle line:84%
The nursery, with Robert as
before, but open-eyed as fire

00:00:09.000 --> 00:00:11.730 align:middle line:84%
comes through the door
on tiptoe with a tray

00:00:11.730 --> 00:00:16.620 align:middle line:84%
of fresh herbs, wild apples,
a garlic clove, and nutmeg.

00:00:16.620 --> 00:00:18.480 align:middle line:90%
Child.

00:00:18.480 --> 00:00:19.200 align:middle line:90%
Lord?

00:00:19.200 --> 00:00:20.250 align:middle line:90%
Do you see me?

00:00:20.250 --> 00:00:21.240 align:middle line:90%
Yes, Lord.

00:00:21.240 --> 00:00:23.370 align:middle line:90%
So my twin's gift took.

00:00:23.370 --> 00:00:27.660 align:middle line:84%
Today we must make haste to
help our child develop taste.

00:00:27.660 --> 00:00:33.790 align:middle line:84%
Now child, lick the salts that
season what wetly walls you in

00:00:33.790 --> 00:00:36.390 align:middle line:90%
and, with that, reason.

00:00:36.390 --> 00:00:37.950 align:middle line:90%
Lord, I take it in.

00:00:37.950 --> 00:00:39.540 align:middle line:90%
I make sense of it.

00:00:39.540 --> 00:00:43.470 align:middle line:84%
Dear unborn, you have
been thoroughly schooled

00:00:43.470 --> 00:00:46.980 align:middle line:84%
and the other meaning of this
new sense is yours to apply.

00:00:46.980 --> 00:00:50.790 align:middle line:84%
One, no dynamic simply
for the thrill of them.

00:00:50.790 --> 00:00:55.530 align:middle line:84%
Two, keep entrench the clean
calm harmonics of heaven.

00:00:55.530 --> 00:00:59.310 align:middle line:84%
Three, bring to your
art the clarifying salt

00:00:59.310 --> 00:01:03.330 align:middle line:84%
you now taste and you
will please our God.

00:01:03.330 --> 00:01:04.830 align:middle line:90%
Lord, I obey.

00:01:04.830 --> 00:01:08.550 align:middle line:84%
And child, develop
a taste for the ice,

00:01:08.550 --> 00:01:11.880 align:middle line:84%
that cold absolute
which tinkling your wine

00:01:11.880 --> 00:01:14.160 align:middle line:84%
helps make its
intoxicant twice as

00:01:14.160 --> 00:01:17.220 align:middle line:84%
potent in the heat
of too much life.

00:01:17.220 --> 00:01:18.990 align:middle line:90%
Lord, ice it is.

00:01:18.990 --> 00:01:22.980 align:middle line:84%
So on the morrow with
a pat my Emmanuel

00:01:22.980 --> 00:01:27.180 align:middle line:84%
brings you that most
gratifying of the senses.

00:01:27.180 --> 00:01:28.470 align:middle line:90%
There!

00:01:28.470 --> 00:01:32.250 align:middle line:84%
Greet your friends
and taste their air.

00:01:32.250 --> 00:01:33.750 align:middle line:90%
Exit.

00:01:33.750 --> 00:01:37.860 align:middle line:84%
In Robert's portrait now
a sheen of Lethe spreading

00:01:37.860 --> 00:01:41.130 align:middle line:90%
wipes the flat lips clean.

00:01:41.130 --> 00:01:46.260 align:middle line:84%
Sirs, he called for a sugar lump
as antidote to the salt lick;

00:01:46.260 --> 00:01:51.300 align:middle line:84%
then sightless clap, soundless
hands, fetch me the peacock,

00:01:51.300 --> 00:01:52.910 align:middle line:90%
and off they flew.

00:01:52.910 --> 00:01:53.820 align:middle line:90%
Uni, is he limping?

00:01:53.820 --> 00:01:55.320 align:middle line:90%
Has he changed?

00:01:55.320 --> 00:01:58.110 align:middle line:84%
He comes to my mind
each day diminished,

00:01:58.110 --> 00:02:01.660 align:middle line:90%
a little man made younger yet.

00:02:01.660 --> 00:02:03.660 align:middle line:90%
How lonely we'll all be.

00:02:03.660 --> 00:02:08.789 align:middle line:84%
You'll have the peacock
still and Unice.

00:02:08.789 --> 00:02:10.350 align:middle line:90%
The next day.

00:02:10.350 --> 00:02:13.540 align:middle line:90%
Sirs, he will leave us?

00:02:13.540 --> 00:02:14.040 align:middle line:90%
Yes.

00:02:14.040 --> 00:02:15.460 align:middle line:90%
You didn't know?

00:02:15.460 --> 00:02:18.390 align:middle line:84%
DJ, it's dawning
on him only now.

00:02:18.390 --> 00:02:20.190 align:middle line:90%
Uni is stunned.

00:02:20.190 --> 00:02:23.820 align:middle line:84%
The cup looks for a place some
corner of the board to hide its

00:02:23.820 --> 00:02:26.880 align:middle line:90%
face then with-- the light, oh--

00:02:26.880 --> 00:02:29.420 align:middle line:90%
stumbles from the room.

00:02:29.420 --> 00:02:30.100 align:middle line:90%
