00:00:00.510 --> 00:00:01.390 align:middle line:90%
This is a short poem.

00:00:01.390 --> 00:00:04.110 align:middle line:84%
It comes from a thing
I've read once about--

00:00:04.110 --> 00:00:08.220 align:middle line:84%
I guess it's a kind
of folk tale about--

00:00:08.220 --> 00:00:11.550 align:middle line:84%
Rabbi Isaac is
walking along one day,

00:00:11.550 --> 00:00:16.410 align:middle line:84%
and he sees Rabbi Jacob
sitting down crying.

00:00:16.410 --> 00:00:24.660 align:middle line:84%
And he says, Rabbi
Jacob, why do you cry?

00:00:24.660 --> 00:00:29.970 align:middle line:84%
And Rabbi Jacob said, because
of all the splendid things that

00:00:29.970 --> 00:00:32.280 align:middle line:90%
die and go down into the earth.

00:00:32.280 --> 00:00:35.280 align:middle line:90%


00:00:35.280 --> 00:00:39.240 align:middle line:84%
And this is another
way of seeing it.

00:00:39.240 --> 00:00:41.670 align:middle line:84%
It's called "Singing in
My Difficult Mountains."

00:00:41.670 --> 00:00:44.790 align:middle line:90%


00:00:44.790 --> 00:00:48.300 align:middle line:84%
Helots are the slaves
of the Spartans, who

00:00:48.300 --> 00:00:51.210 align:middle line:84%
were kept subjugated
by the Spartans,

00:00:51.210 --> 00:00:54.540 align:middle line:90%
after they were conquered.

00:00:54.540 --> 00:01:00.150 align:middle line:84%
"Helot for what time there is in
the baptist hegemony of death.

00:01:00.150 --> 00:01:05.430 align:middle line:84%
For what time there is
summer, island, cornice.

00:01:05.430 --> 00:01:09.930 align:middle line:84%
Weeping and singing of what
declines into the earth.

00:01:09.930 --> 00:01:13.200 align:middle line:84%
But of having,
not of not having.

00:01:13.200 --> 00:01:13.965 align:middle line:90%
What abounds.

00:01:13.965 --> 00:01:16.830 align:middle line:90%


00:01:16.830 --> 00:01:20.445 align:middle line:84%
Amazed morning after
morning by the yielding.

00:01:20.445 --> 00:01:24.990 align:middle line:90%


00:01:24.990 --> 00:01:27.360 align:middle line:90%
What things there are.

00:01:27.360 --> 00:01:31.520 align:middle line:90%
My fine house that love is."
