Everything...
1:30:06
...chilly and dim.
1:30:09
But that hot...
1:30:11
...ravenous mouth.
1:30:13
He was a very ordinary married man.
1:30:15
And then?
1:30:18
One morning, Cousin Sebastian
came in and said, "Get up."
1:30:22
Well, if you're still alive after
dying, then you're obedient. I got up.
1:30:27
He took me down to a place
where they take passport photos.
1:30:31
He said, " Mother can't go
with me this summer.
1:30:34
You're going with me this summer,
instead of Mother."
1:30:37
- Except that it was her idea, not his.
- Mrs. Venable.
1:30:41
And your cousin?
1:30:43
He helped bring me back to life...
1:30:46
...in Paris, Barcelona, Rome.
1:30:48
All those lovely foreign cities
I'd never seen, we saw together.
1:30:52
And those...
What did he call them?
1:30:55
Those sunshine days...
1:30:57
...where it's always noon,
and we cast no shadows.
1:31:01
- But then...
- But then what?
1:31:04
At Amalfi...
1:31:06
...high above the Mediterranean,
in a garden, I took his arm.
1:31:11
You took his arm. Yes...?
1:31:13
It seemed like such a natural thing
to do, but he pulled away.
1:31:16
How he must have loathed
being touched by her.
1:31:20
I only did it to try and show
my appreciation for his kindness.
1:31:24
I didn't want to...
1:31:26
There was nothing else.
1:31:30
Anyway...
1:31:32
...it was there in Amalfi...
1:31:34
...suddenly, last summer,
that he began to be restless and...
1:31:39
Go on.
1:31:43
He couldn't go on.
1:31:44
He couldn't write his summer poem.
1:31:47
I have his notebook here. See?
1:31:50
Title, Poem of Summer.
And the date of the summer: 1937.
1:31:54
And after that, blank pages,
blank pages. Nothing but nothing.
1:31:58
A poet's vocation rests
on something...
