:17:04
All that has
made me confused.
:17:07
I've lost the feeling
of where reality ends,
:17:10
and fantasy takes over.
:17:14
You meant to say... poetry.
:17:17
I do not know what
you are aiming at.
:17:21
I will tell you something
:17:23
that is based on the principles
of geometry.
:17:26
Wanting to define
an infinite number,
:17:29
I write a horizontal eight and
divide it by one.
:17:33
If I want to express infinite
smallness,
:17:36
I write a one and divide it by
the horizontal eight.
:17:40
All these signs give me no idea
about what I want to express...
:17:45
infinity... greatness...
:17:50
In the cosmos, infinite
smallness is an infinite root
:17:54
of the smallest part
of an atom.
:17:57
So I am defining infinity,
but without comprehending.
:18:05
Well, if I do not comprehend
but I can define it,
:18:11
I am getting near poetry,
which seems to be nearer to life
:18:16
than we suspect.
:18:20
Empirical science
leads to lack of faith.
:18:24
Only an uneducated man
who sees a thing every day
:18:28
thinks he understands it.
:18:32
A true researcher
proceeds among riddles.
:18:36
He errs, but he gets
nearer his goal every day.
:18:43
Señor Avadoro,
will you finish Toledo's story?
:18:47
I remember he was disturbed
by a voice from the other world.
:18:51
Yes.
:18:53
His tender soul was
very sensitive.
:18:59
So he was in deep despair.
