Lights out.
1:12:13
"Peaceful yet,
Charlemagne and his frights"
1:12:16
"Left the mountain,
forgetting lights"
1:12:26
My bed-jacket will get marks on it.
1:12:28
It would be a pity.
1:12:39
Why does one decide
to read to strangers?
1:12:43
I don't know. To talk. Maybe.
1:12:47
Because words one likes.
One wants to share.
1:12:50
That's nice.
1:12:56
Reading a lot.
Doesn't one want to invent stories?

"Brothers Pierre and Paul
disliked one another."
1:13:26
"So when Paul was knocked down

of the room where he lay,
1:13:38

1:13:43
he felt avenged and was ashamed."
1:13:46
"They both suffered and did not speak."
1:13:49
"They both dreamed of the distant sea
of which all speak,
1:13:52
but which no one knows
who has not tasted it."
1:13:56
"Pierre confessed:
1:13:57
"I will never go to the sea, for I live
in darkness and would lose my way."
