:59:01
But I was surprised
by what they said,
:59:03
that you had abandoned the life
that you once loved so much.
:59:08
That you were looking for
a new purpose, a new meaning.
:59:11
You were right, of course.
:59:15
I tried that, too.
Only for me it failed.
:59:20
Yet it's too easy
:59:21
to blame the crusades
for this... loss,
:59:25
this emptiness,
this dissatisfaction I feel.
:59:29
The horror of war,
:59:31
the destruction of our ideals
:59:32
is part of it, I know,
:59:34
but there's something else.
:59:35
I feel stifled by my past,
by my upbringing.
:59:41
None of it means anything
to me anymore.
:59:45
And you, Francesco,
:59:46
you know better
than anyone else
:59:47
that I cannot live
without an ideal,
:59:49
without something
to believe in.
:59:51
Perhaps I'm wrong,
:59:52
perhaps one should be
more cynical and forget ideals.
:59:55
I don't know.
:59:57
That's why I thought
I had to come and talk to you.
1:00:08
What's the matter?
1:00:09
That would make
a worthy cornerstone...
1:00:13
strong...
1:00:16
and true.
1:00:21
Where did you get these,
1:00:24
some quarry near here?
1:00:27
Yes, it's not far.
1:00:30
I can take you there,
if you like.
1:00:31
Thank you, Bernardo.
1:00:39
Oh, come and let yourselves
1:00:41
be built as living stones
unto a spiritual temple.
