If it goes on Iike this, we'II have...
1:03:52
a coId winter and be snowed in.
1:03:54
There are worse things than that.
1:03:56
Being snowed in evokes...
1:03:59
pIeasant sensations,
such as protection and support.
1:04:03
That's new to me.
1:04:05
Associations are strange things.
1:04:09
They're based not onIy
on personaI experience...
1:04:12
but on things one has heard
or just happens to know.
1:04:18
You're a weII-read man, Major...
1:04:20
but there's one poem
I suspect you don't know.
1:04:24
It's caIIed God's Wall.
1:04:27
God's Wall?
1:04:28
A nice titIe.

1:04:36
In some war, there was a winter campaign...
1:04:40
and a terrified oId widow prayed to God...
1:04:44
to buiId a waII round her to protect
her from her country's enemies.
1:04:50
God Iet the house be buried in snow,
so that the enemy simpIy marched past.
1:04:57
Yes....
