No.
:15:03
Historians will study
your childhood,

:15:07
examine your relationships,
the dark secrets.

:15:11
lt warped my judgment.
:15:14
They will exaggerate
your slightest scribbles

:15:18
into important,
irrefutable clues.

:15:21

of endless fascination.

:15:25
Perhaps.
:15:27
l am seeing universities
:15:31
all over the world
:15:33
with their courses--
:15:35
''Hitler, Architecture,
and Politics.''

:15:38
''Hitler.
:15:40
Salvation and Human Evolution.''
:15:42

:16:36
We knew that liberty,
equality, and democracy

:16:40
are the grandest nonsense.
:16:44
But war is the most simple
affirmation of life.

:16:48
But l do not admire him.
:16:54
Envy? Stalin?
:16:57
Paah!
A footnote.

:16:59
A footnote
if he's fortunate.
