Nightcap?
:06:11
Don't think so.
:06:41
- There you are.
- London tomorrow.

:06:44
Who are you lecturing?
Disabled veterans?

:06:48
- Church widows?
- Association of Christian Teachers.

:07:02
- Night, Jack.
- Night, Warnie.

:07:16
Garden, enclosed by a high wall.
:07:19
Inside the garden,
a fountain.

:07:20
In the fountain,
two crystal stones.

:07:24
In the crystals, in reflection,
a rose garden.

:07:28
In the midst of the roses,
one perfect rosebud.

:07:33
Guillaume de Lorris is using
the rosebud, of course...

:07:36
as an image.
:07:38
But an image of what?
:07:40
- Love?
- What kind of love?

:07:42
Untouched?
:07:44
- Unopened, like a bud?
- Yes. More?

:07:48
- Perfect love.
- What makes it perfect?

:07:52
- Come on, wake up.
- Is it the courtly ideal of love?

:07:54
What is that?

:07:58
- Un...
- Unattainability.
