But that wasn't clear to me.

We were to have a mutual secret.
:58:08
l slowly wanted to take him away
from his wife and make him mine.

:58:14
l saw that terrible coldness
in his marriage...

:58:18
and was somewhat obsessed with
the idea that he would turn to me.

:58:24
That he would
discover me at long last.

:58:27
That he would realize
that l secretly loved him.

Emotionally,
Peter was a dying man.

:58:38
The way one can die of hunger,
thirst or loss of blood.

:58:43
l knew that l could save him.
:58:47
And l wished l was
the one he was seeking.

:58:50

But that doesn't make
the slightest difference.

:59:30
Don't you agree?

Professor Jensen. lt was never sent.

:59:38
Dear Mogens...
:59:40
what l'm going to describe
isn't a dream in the usual sense.

:59:44
Although l experienced this under
the influence of pills and alcohol.

:59:51
This experience seemed
more real and horrible...

:59:54
than the banal reality of everyday
life. But that's all trivial.
