The strange-- the phrase
has become stranger

00:00:03.810 --> 00:00:07.560 align:middle line:84%
over time because of
post technological sense

00:00:07.560 --> 00:00:08.880 align:middle line:90%
of portable.

00:00:08.880 --> 00:00:12.810 align:middle line:84%
But to port-- to do what a
porter does was already there,

00:00:12.810 --> 00:00:16.230 align:middle line:84%
and he is such a
terrific writer.

00:00:16.230 --> 00:00:17.280 align:middle line:90%
He's so great.

00:00:17.280 --> 00:00:21.180 align:middle line:84%
That he does feel-- the
vibration has gotten greater

00:00:21.180 --> 00:00:23.520 align:middle line:84%
between them but, yet,
he felt the vibration

00:00:23.520 --> 00:00:24.810 align:middle line:90%
between the words.

00:00:24.810 --> 00:00:29.880 align:middle line:84%
For one thing, he felt portable,
Latin or French, to port,

00:00:29.880 --> 00:00:31.440 align:middle line:90%
is a romance root.

00:00:31.440 --> 00:00:34.170 align:middle line:90%
And grief, grief, is Germanic.

00:00:34.170 --> 00:00:35.850 align:middle line:84%
So he knew there was
a contrast there,

00:00:35.850 --> 00:00:37.845 align:middle line:84%
and the contrast has
gotten greater for us.

00:00:37.845 --> 00:00:39.720 align:middle line:84%
It's been a real pleasure
talking to you all.

00:00:39.720 --> 00:00:40.500 align:middle line:90%
See you.

00:00:40.500 --> 00:00:42.950 align:middle line:90%
