1:18:00
So l shall repeat:
write better verse.
1:18:05
The gods have given me
a spark of a talent
1:18:10
and blessed me with an expert friend
who dares tell me the truth.
1:18:16
- Away with those!
- No, no.
1:18:19
Don't deprive mankind.
1:18:22
Then you will receive them
in a cylinder of my own design.
1:18:29
My burning Troy
is not blazing enough.
1:18:37
You have opened my eyes.
l know the reason.
1:18:41
When a sculptor creates
a god's likeness,
1:18:45
he hires a model,
and l've never seen a burning town,
1:18:49
l lack authenticity.
1:18:51
l'll set Antium on fire.
1:18:55
Or, if you want to spare it,
1:18:58
l'll build a town
out of wood and let you ignite it.
1:19:04
Wooden barracks?
1:19:08
Your mind has dried out.
1:19:10
You underestimate my talent
and my ''Troyad''.
1:19:18
lmagine the stench in Rome today.
1:19:26
Won't they punish you for leaving
Antium without Caesar's consent?
1:19:31
He will be composing poetry
for two days.
1:19:35
And l couldn't live without you.
1:19:38
l knew you'd come.
1:19:42
l turn my eyes,
gazing at your shadow,
1:19:48
which borrows charm
from your body,
1:19:54
it is as weightless
as if born of foam.
