"From the channels of my heart
:02:03
"with icy draining looks
:02:07
"My body glows like desert sand
burned and charred
:02:11
"And the dry Sirocco of madness
:02:14
"rages and my blood flows"

Munch now sees the work
of Auguste Rodin in Paris.

We didn't even know each other
and yet was it because
:02:36
she took my first kiss that she took
the fragrance of life from me?
:02:42
Was it because she lied, deceived
:02:46
that she suddenly took
:02:48
the scales from my eyes one day?
:02:53
Munch now begins to formulate
the artistic philosophy
:02:57
that he is to pursue
all his life
:03:00
to understand and express
the purpose of man's existence,
:03:04
of woman's existence,
:03:06
the purpose for their pain,
their love, their despair,
:03:10
links in an endless chain tying
together thousands of generations.
:03:23
There was to be no more painting interiors
now, people reading and knitting
:03:29
but living people who breathe,
feel, suffer and love.
