:40:02
It used to be my defence
on picket lines and rallies
:40:05
and political meetings,
:40:07
being dragged off by the police
and attacked by thugs.
:40:11
What were you fighting for?
:40:14
Big issue.
Liberty, rights, justice.
:40:18
Kings died, kingdoms fell.
:40:21
I don't regret the kingdom.
:40:23
What sense in borders
and nations and patriotism?
:40:30
But I miss the kings.
:40:34
When I was a little girl,
I was taken to the palace in Vienna
:40:38
to a garden party.
:40:40
I can still see the sun shining,
the parasols,
:40:44
the flashing uniforms
of the young officers.
:40:47
I thought then
that I would marry a soldier.
:40:53
Later on,
Frederick would chide me about it.
:40:57
He was so serious.
:41:01
A doctor at the university...
:41:04
and in the government.
:41:18
But that was all before.
:41:30
So...
:41:35
you don't use the umbrella any more?
:41:42
No more revolts?
:41:48
Yes. Every day...
:41:52
but... I don't need a defence
any more, I embrace.
:41:58
Still fighting for the big issues
