lt's been on my mind a long time,
and these simple words...
1:06:07
with their conscious...
1:06:08
or perhaps unconscious
hint of accusation...
1:06:11
have completely unsettled me.
1:06:15
lt's been tormenting me for some time.
1:06:17
l want to free myself of this whole business.
1:06:21
Nothing gives me pleasure anymore.
1:06:23
The more distinctions l gain,
the more meaningless it all seems.
1:06:29
l've messed up my life.
1:06:35
May was IoveIy. June even IoveIier.
Once Effi had overcome the heartache...
1:06:40
RoIIo's arrivaI aroused in her...
1:06:44
she was deIighted to have
the faithfuI creature with her again.
1:06:47
Roswitha was praised,
and Briest expressed to his wife...
1:06:51
his respect for Innstetten...
1:06:53
who was a perfect gentIeman, not petty...
1:06:56
and whose heart was in the right pIace.
1:06:59
''A pity that stupid affair had to happen!
1:07:02
''They were the perfect coupIe.''
1:07:12
What a glorious summer!
1:07:15
l should never have thought
a year ago that l could be so happy.
1:07:20
Just get well again!
1:07:22
Happiness will come.
Not past happiness, but a new one.
1:07:27
There are many types of happiness.
1:07:29
You'll see, we'll find something for you.
1:07:33
The summer passed...
1:07:34
and the nights with
shooting stars were over.
1:07:37
On these nights,
Effi had sat Iong at her window...
1:07:41
never tired of watching.
1:07:43
''I never was a very good Christian,
but perhaps we do come from up there...
1:07:48
''and when it's aII over here,
we'II return to our heavenIy home...
1:07:52
''to the stars up there, or beyond.
1:07:54
''I don't know, and I don't want to know.
1:07:57
''I simpIy feeI a Ionging....''
