00:00:01.020 --> 00:00:04.290 align:middle line:84%
I'm going to start with the very
first poem in the book, which

00:00:04.290 --> 00:00:05.340 align:middle line:90%
is "Ars Poetica."

00:00:05.340 --> 00:00:10.430 align:middle line:90%


00:00:10.430 --> 00:00:11.840 align:middle line:90%
Can you hear my heart?

00:00:11.840 --> 00:00:18.190 align:middle line:90%


00:00:18.190 --> 00:00:20.830 align:middle line:84%
"One would like to
see oneself walking

00:00:20.830 --> 00:00:24.580 align:middle line:84%
through the forest as two
girls along the creek,

00:00:24.580 --> 00:00:29.830 align:middle line:84%
the golden carp under the
ice like blurred poppies.

00:00:29.830 --> 00:00:34.240 align:middle line:84%
The tall, hooded girl will
extend a basket offering bread

00:00:34.240 --> 00:00:40.240 align:middle line:84%
and water, a kindly
face, and a thick cloak.

00:00:40.240 --> 00:00:43.780 align:middle line:84%
The other is small
with sly hands.

00:00:43.780 --> 00:00:46.540 align:middle line:84%
She will eat her
fill, wrap herself

00:00:46.540 --> 00:00:52.090 align:middle line:84%
in the warmth of the wool
cloak, cut a branch from a tree.

00:00:52.090 --> 00:00:54.670 align:middle line:84%
Whittling the end
to a point, she

00:00:54.670 --> 00:00:57.460 align:middle line:84%
will pull the arrow
back and shoot it

00:00:57.460 --> 00:01:00.460 align:middle line:84%
into the throat of
the hooded girl.

00:01:00.460 --> 00:01:03.090 align:middle line:90%
She will retrieve the basket."
