1:10:01
But why are your words
so hesitant? Why?

1:10:07
It's dark...
1:10:12
They grope in the darkness...
looking for...your ear.

1:10:18
My words have not that problem.
1:10:19
It's normal they should find their way.
1:10:23
For it's upon my heart they prey.
1:10:25
My heart is large
whereas your ear is small.

1:10:30
Besides, your words slip down
speedily along the wall.

1:10:35
Mine are heavy like fruit on a bough.
1:10:38
They're arriving faster now.
1:10:40
They're used to the exercise.
1:10:44
I'm standing here in the skies!
1:10:46
One harsh word from so high
could make my heart die.

1:10:52
I'll come down.
No!

1:10:54
Climb up here!
1:10:55
No!
Why...no?

1:10:57
Let us stay near...
1:10:59
but talk without seeing each other...
1:11:04
Without seeing?
1:11:05
It's quite wonderful...in darkness.
1:11:08
You see a cloak of blackness.
1:11:11
I see a dress of summer white.
1:11:15
I'm but a shadow. You are a light.
1:11:19
I'm using my true voice.
1:11:22
Indeed, it is altered.
1:11:23
In this dark night...
1:11:26
which protects me, I can be myself.
1:11:29
And I dare...
1:11:33
Where was I?
1:11:35
I don't know...all this...
1:11:37
Forgive my emotion.
1:11:38
It's this sweet, new sensation.
1:11:42
New, you say?
1:11:43
Yes, new. I can be honest.
1:11:46
Fear of mockery gripped my breast.
1:11:49
Mockery?
1:11:49
For my feelings!
1:11:53
My heart
in modesty, cloaks itself in art!

1:11:56
Ah, ''art''. How I hate that in love!
1:11:59
It's a crime,
in love, to play this pantomime.
