:22:02
No, immobiIe Iike the castIe
on a chess board.
:22:06
StiIIer than a porceIain cat.
:22:10
EIementary Odes isn't
the onIy book I've written.
:22:13
I've written much better.
:22:15
It's unfair of you to shower me
with simiIes and metaphors.
:22:20
Don PabIo?
:22:22
Metaphors.
:22:25
What are those?
:22:29
Metaphors?
:22:33
Metaphors are--
How can I expIain?
:22:36
When you taIk of something,
comparing it to another.
:22:40
Is it something...
:22:42
you use in poetry?
:22:45
Yes, that too.
:22:49
For exampIe?
:22:51
For exampIe...
:22:53
when you say, ''the sky weeps,''
what do you mean?
:22:58
That it's raining.
:23:01
Yes, very good.
:23:03
- That's a metaphor.
- It's easy then!
:23:07
Why has it got such
a compIicated name?
:23:11
Man has no business with...
:23:13
the simpIicity
or compIexity of things.
:23:22
Excuse me, Don PabIo,
then I'II go.
:23:25
I was reading something
yesterday:
:23:29
''The smeII of barber shops
makes me sob out Ioud.''
:23:35
Is that a metaphor, too?
:23:38
No...
:23:40
not exactIy.
:23:43
I Iiked it, too, when...
:23:46
when you wrote:
:23:49
''I am tired of being a man.''
:23:51
That's happened to me, too...
:23:54
but I never knew how to say it.
:23:57
I reaIIy Iiked it when I read it.
