00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.760 align:middle line:90%


00:00:03.760 --> 00:00:05.560 align:middle line:90%
Yeah.

00:00:05.560 --> 00:00:09.430 align:middle line:84%
There's a lot of regional
variation in the Cantares.

00:00:09.430 --> 00:00:11.950 align:middle line:84%
So the rhythms change
based on the region

00:00:11.950 --> 00:00:14.110 align:middle line:84%
that's being represented
in different sections

00:00:14.110 --> 00:00:16.210 align:middle line:90%
of the manuscript.

00:00:16.210 --> 00:00:18.400 align:middle line:84%
It's like the Confucian
odes actually.

00:00:18.400 --> 00:00:21.880 align:middle line:84%
Confucius went out to all
these rural areas of China

00:00:21.880 --> 00:00:23.500 align:middle line:90%
and just collected odes.

00:00:23.500 --> 00:00:26.690 align:middle line:84%
And you can track the regional
variation in the Confucian.

00:00:26.690 --> 00:00:28.540 align:middle line:90%
Same thing in the Cantares.

00:00:28.540 --> 00:00:32.500 align:middle line:84%
So the rhythm
changes in this one.

00:00:32.500 --> 00:00:33.000 align:middle line:90%
"XIV."

00:00:33.000 --> 00:00:37.370 align:middle line:90%


00:00:37.370 --> 00:00:40.880 align:middle line:84%
Citadel siege there,
caught like a bird there.

00:00:40.880 --> 00:00:43.640 align:middle line:84%
Quickly, the feather
trips across the drums,

00:00:43.640 --> 00:00:44.600 align:middle line:90%
beating leather.

00:00:44.600 --> 00:00:45.470 align:middle line:90%
Why sing?

00:00:45.470 --> 00:00:46.310 align:middle line:90%
Why bother?

00:00:46.310 --> 00:00:47.480 align:middle line:90%
Why remember?

00:00:47.480 --> 00:00:50.090 align:middle line:84%
It's a terrible time
for all the households.

00:00:50.090 --> 00:00:53.360 align:middle line:84%
And only kids still live
in rituals, vaguely.

00:00:53.360 --> 00:00:54.785 align:middle line:90%
Whose painting is that?

00:00:54.785 --> 00:00:56.450 align:middle line:90%
That one right there.

00:00:56.450 --> 00:00:58.790 align:middle line:84%
Ask the people why
a child could see

00:00:58.790 --> 00:01:03.800 align:middle line:84%
such color, green shade of
live water, ocher of old honey,

00:01:03.800 --> 00:01:06.980 align:middle line:90%
while we walk in dim downpours.

00:01:06.980 --> 00:01:09.170 align:middle line:90%
Lightning misses us like this.

00:01:09.170 --> 00:01:11.300 align:middle line:90%
We can scarcely reminisce.

00:01:11.300 --> 00:01:13.340 align:middle line:90%
Some say that, that, that.

00:01:13.340 --> 00:01:16.210 align:middle line:90%
I say this, this, this.

00:01:16.210 --> 00:01:17.000 align:middle line:90%
