shall clench a fist
against the stricken brother.

:12:06
Let each one of us look...
:12:08
more candidly than ever...
:12:12
upon the desperate brother.
:12:15
And the care of each one shall

:12:22
each of us will inhale...
:12:26
the noxious odor of this brother...
:12:29
and our gentle hearts will

with these same gentle eyes...
:13:46
watch time's mysterious
manipulation...

:13:50
of the other tools
it skillfully wields...

:13:54
in its transformations...
:13:57
never once questioning
its unfathomable...
