The plane kept
circling the airport
:15:33
seemingly unable
to decide to land.
:15:36
It was the first time
I had been to Rome
:15:39
and I had the odd feeling
that this trip,
:15:42
put off for so long
:15:45
was to be very significant
in my life.
:15:48
For a moment, I even had
the absurd hope
:15:51
that the plane wouldn't land...
:15:53
but would take me
far from Rome.
:15:56
It was not to be.
:16:00
The airport's invisible nets
had already snared the plane
:16:04
and were dragging it
helplessly towards earth.
