:17:00
And suddenly to have stopped that
meant that he was going away...
:17:04
from a political consciousness
that we felt we all had.
:17:08
One can attribute that
as going commercial...
:17:12
as getting away from this,
and that bothered us.
:17:16
Then take me disappearing
:17:19
through the smoke rings of my mind
:17:22
Down the foggy ruins of time
:17:25
far past the frozen leaves
:17:28
The haunted, frightened trees
:17:31
out to the windy beach
:17:33
Far from the twisted reach of crazy sorrow
:17:39
Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky
:17:42
with one hand waving free
:17:45
Silhouetted by the sea
:17:47
circled by the circus sands
:17:50
With all memory and fate
:17:53
driven deep beneath the waves
:17:56
Let me forget about today
:17:59
until tomorrow
:18:02
An artist has got to be careful
never really to arrive at a place...
:18:05
where he thinks he's "at" somewhere.
:18:07
You always have to realize
that you're constantly...
:18:10
in the state of becoming, you know?
:18:13
And, as long as you can stay in that realm,
you'll sort of be all right.
:18:18
I can't self-analyze my own work,
and I wasn't going to cater to the crowd...
:18:22
because I knew certain people would like it,
and certain people didn't like it.
:18:26
I had gotten in the door
when no one was looking.
:18:28
I was in there now,
and there was nothing anybody...
:18:31
from then on, could ever do about it.
:18:33
There's a time when the operation
of the machine becomes so odious...
:18:38
makes you so sick at heart
that you can't take part.
:18:42
You can't even passively take part,
and you've got to put your bodies...
:18:45
upon the gears and upon the wheels,
upon the levers, upon all the apparatus...
:18:50
and you've got to make it stop,
and you've got to indicate to the people...
:18:53
who run it, to the people who own it,
that unless you're free...
:18:56
the machine will be prevented
from working at all.
