00:00:01.630 --> 00:00:04.830 align:middle line:90%
Let's see.

00:00:04.830 --> 00:00:07.470 align:middle line:84%
I'm sorry this is a
very down reading.

00:00:07.470 --> 00:00:10.140 align:middle line:84%
I come here, and I tell you
how happy I am to be here.

00:00:10.140 --> 00:00:14.520 align:middle line:84%
And then I read you all
these depressed, sad poems.

00:00:14.520 --> 00:00:17.000 align:middle line:90%
What is one to do?

00:00:17.000 --> 00:00:17.625 align:middle line:90%
Here's another.

00:00:17.625 --> 00:00:20.490 align:middle line:90%


00:00:20.490 --> 00:00:21.480 align:middle line:90%
You poor things.

00:00:21.480 --> 00:00:23.190 align:middle line:84%
Go out and party
after the reading.

00:00:23.190 --> 00:00:27.090 align:middle line:90%


00:00:27.090 --> 00:00:29.550 align:middle line:90%
"The Dream."

00:00:29.550 --> 00:00:33.270 align:middle line:90%
The dream was long and unhappy.

00:00:33.270 --> 00:00:36.240 align:middle line:84%
And whether it ended
because of the earliest

00:00:36.240 --> 00:00:41.610 align:middle line:84%
birds or my own silent keening
or the way that by then

00:00:41.610 --> 00:00:43.950 align:middle line:90%
I had given entirely in--

00:00:43.950 --> 00:00:47.760 align:middle line:90%
who can say this story was over?

00:00:47.760 --> 00:00:51.010 align:middle line:90%
Where else could it go?

00:00:51.010 --> 00:00:58.470 align:middle line:84%
Even in dream I knew every
part, every fault was my own.

00:00:58.470 --> 00:01:02.460 align:middle line:84%
I woke and for one
moment blessed this world

00:01:02.460 --> 00:01:09.440 align:middle line:84%
where a person can wake from
grief, then began to remember.

00:01:09.440 --> 00:01:10.000 align:middle line:90%
