1:12:00
I didn't want to take your place
last summer.
1:12:04
Please believe that, Aunt Vi.
1:12:06
But Sebastian insisted. He said...
1:12:08
...you weren't well enough to travel
with him, and he couldn't travel alone.
1:12:13
So he insisted that I go along
with him in your place last summer.
1:12:17
And he died last summer.
1:12:21
Aunt Violet, would you like me
to tell you...?
1:12:45
You fell in love with Sebastian,
didn't you?
1:12:48
I tried to give him
what you had always given him:
1:12:51
The tender understanding
and the love you gave...
1:12:54
My son and I had a rare and wonderful
love and trust between us.
1:12:59
A covenant between us...
1:13:01
- I know about the covenant.
- He broke that covenant...
1:13:04
...when he took her, not me,
to travel while he created his poem.
1:13:07
Even when I was with him,
he'd sometimes be frightened.
1:13:11
But I'd know what of.
1:13:13
I'd reach across a table
and touch his hands.
1:13:16
Say not a word, just look,
and touch his hands with mine.
1:13:22
Then, in the morning, the summer poem
would be continued...
1:13:25
...until it was finished.
1:13:27
- I couldn't help him.
- Naturally not, he was mine.
1:13:30
I knew how to help him.
You couldn't.
1:13:32
- I tried.
- I'd force him.
1:13:33
All right, I failed him.
1:13:35
I knew that the day we flew down
to Cabeza de Lobo from...
1:13:39
...where he'd given off
writing his poem.
1:13:41
- Because he had broken...
- Yes, something had broken.
1:13:45
- That string of pearls old mothers...
- Old?
1:13:48
- Hold their sons by!
- Yes, from death.
1:13:50
No! Hold them from life!
1:13:52
You were the stranger, the destroyer.
1:13:55
- We were life.
- You fed on life.
1:13:58
Both of you. Taking!
