00:00:13.760 - 00:00:25.590

I'm amazed so many came out tonight, especially since so large part of the populace is made law with cold. As I have in myself.

00:00:25.590 - 00:00:32.650

I have a rather miscellaneous program tonight. I've changed it several times. The cost of the day.

00:00:32.650 - 00:00:43.580

I'm going to open it with another, those little plays by Henry the fullest. That's interesting, that almost unknown Chicago author

00:00:43.580 - 00:00:53.690

who died 0, 15 or so years ago. He was a bell enters the narrow sense. He tried every thought of form of writing.

00:00:53.690 - 00:01:05.180

And he had a small, but the Fed and following. And he wrote this curious little book, the puppet, both the series of one phase.

00:01:05.180 - 00:01:20.070

And they're extremely compressed. This embolic in a way. They sometimes slightly ironic and taking all the new Scandinavian School

00:01:20.070 - 00:01:28.400

as it was in those days of absence. And so on. Video series, human understanding and most of all,

00:01:28.400 - 00:01:36.630

I think they're remarkable for poetic quality of compression. Of course, that is one of the main functions of part itself.

00:01:36.630 - 00:01:45.130

To compress a great deal in a very little to intensity and through heightening of expression. And somehow without using this,

00:01:45.130 - 00:01:53.480

filler manages that in his plays and the little play, the level of love that I read last spring, he seemed to me to say that.

00:01:53.480 - 00:02:00.100

And the other day one of my students was speaking with enthusiasm. I've displayed it. I'm going to leave tonight

00:02:00.100 - 00:02:12.930

because it seemed as far as that goes. So extremely prophetic. Now this book came out in 1896, and I don't think I need comment

00:02:12.930 - 00:02:21.030

further on they prophetic quality of the play. Because you will note it as the saying goes on.

00:02:21.030 - 00:02:34.160

And then you will note also beyond the mere factual prophecy of modern warfare. You will note the timeless human qualities to enter into

00:02:34.160 - 00:02:47.950

this design is called lamina flow in from the systems. Now the master, his pupil, a young lieutenant, The Millionaire,

00:02:47.950 - 00:02:57.800

a girl who was the daughter, the millionaire. And then it'll press when the scene is it workshop in the midst of a vast city and high above it,

00:02:57.800 - 00:03:04.270

wide Windows command the roofs that shelter million people. And the hombre 2, which has come for generations.

00:03:04.270 - 00:03:12.000

The attribute of the world. The high wind sweeps freely around it, causes the defined flouting of the myriad flags,

00:03:12.000 - 00:03:18.920

the same flag always. And it will bring it into those great swirling clouds of dust and pungent smoke.

00:03:18.920 - 00:03:27.050

Outside the harbor, one sees an aggregation of enormous battleships whose flag is not the flag about the roofs are around.

00:03:27.050 - 00:03:33.900

The clouds of smoke too. We'll come to that same Farhat. The room is come up with the various apparatus of science.

00:03:33.900 - 00:03:40.040

And through every window, the air has seemed to be cut that the black lines of multitudes of y as it

00:03:40.040 - 00:03:49.220

radiate to every point is a compass. The master, Grave, self-contained man of about 35 sounds reaching out as one of the windows.

00:03:49.220 - 00:03:59.570

No one can be sure of what he sees. Hours, he's seeing anything at all. It can only be said in his hands. Caught it, veins and half, TEFL, nails,

00:03:59.570 - 00:04:11.630

strained and emotions and vice slight, get behind his back. The pupil to Louisiana fellow 28. They've calls for a million mom

00:04:11.630 - 00:04:20.240

in lieutenant. He has his arm in a sling. I'm a man and I have answered the call already.

00:04:20.240 - 00:04:29.120

Pupil. And for thousands, millions of money. The Millionaire, his hand in his pocket. I have my minions and I have

00:04:29.120 - 00:04:38.840

given freely your tenant, the men of forthcoming. We have populace and the millions. We are rich.

00:04:38.840 - 00:04:47.590

Pupil. We have them already. Men and money, unlike the Gail, already the pupil.

00:04:47.590 - 00:04:54.860

Yes, They're here. The million men stand looking out of that window. The millions of money held between

00:04:54.860 - 00:05:03.460

those two hands from the sea, that kind of subnet della Roth, the battleship. So once hath lost in their own smote,

00:05:03.460 - 00:05:11.320

the master gives a quick stop. Their attendance. The hours struck. They're doing what they had threatened.

00:05:11.320 - 00:05:18.710

Go who couldn't believe that they would do it because they would dare to do it. Can so many efforts, seven-day sacrifices,

00:05:18.710 - 00:05:28.770

all go in vain. And as the master wake man is your moment, every second of delay means I'm told loss and suffering.

00:05:28.770 - 00:05:38.180

Pupil, trust him. You'll get to plainly that cries and blows that assail our dog. The populous in the streets below call up

00:05:38.180 - 00:05:46.910

to the profits on the landing stage. And the profit scribes with tablets and status appeal to the priests. But let not these unduly

00:05:46.910 - 00:05:56.640

imports and the god himself, he will act of his own, well, at his own time, in his own way. Let them go on clamoring for the miracle.

00:05:56.640 - 00:06:07.220

It'll be wrought and do cost. Shelf and to see flies and along came through the air and explodes, disastrous today not half a mile away.

00:06:07.220 - 00:06:15.560

There's a fever response from Shaw and to new roofs of the city black because people, thousands of invoking arms and thousands of

00:06:15.560 - 00:06:23.460

imploring voices send upward to the mast as tau, millionaire, look, the time is kind of no more delay.

00:06:23.460 - 00:06:31.410

The attendant come do the deep quickly in recognition of our health care and in justification of our faith.

00:06:31.510 - 00:06:41.900

Remember the thousands vaults have yielded up to the tenant. Remember the assistance that my fellow officers have rendered you Master?

00:06:41.900 - 00:06:52.010

It is a dreadful thing to do. There are 10 thousand hours of video news. Is it was one man to slay 10 thousand. Then for 10 thousand to slay

00:06:52.010 - 00:07:02.720

a million and delay the city and ruins the tendons. The triumph is to be enjoyed. Just in. My triumph consists not

00:07:02.720 - 00:07:11.540

him doing that and knowing that I can do, he turns away again, made an a you must do it. And once lives and

00:07:11.540 - 00:07:21.440

property are in danger, I command you. He lays an IGA hand to fund the mass design. Pupil sweeping the hand aside. Then you'll place, is

00:07:21.440 - 00:07:28.310

this the way you can treat a genius? The man who was able to bring the unseen to our eyes. The unhedged two is who can

00:07:28.310 - 00:07:34.470

weigh what no one else can even lay hold upon. The man who was wrench the hidden forces from the Earth and the air.

00:07:34.470 - 00:07:43.340

And then how to drag forth mysterious pause from the deep bosom of the sea itself. So you tell it. So you have shell this

00:07:43.340 - 00:07:53.000

many times in the last fortnight. Now let him do it to tenants. Let me do it. He rescues impulsively across to a table and midst of whose tangle

00:07:53.000 - 00:08:04.270

of rise and plates and to the rest of broad, broad set thick Was leave as knobs and keys, which is the one people hands-off. Do you know what you might do?

00:08:04.270 - 00:08:13.640

The 10th? Do something, anything. This is the time has ever pupil, you've done something already, let that suffice scale.

00:08:13.640 - 00:08:20.150

Indeed, he has. We've not found him satisfied, sit and safety far about the city. He has gone down like a man.

00:08:20.150 - 00:08:25.730

He has taken his sword in hand and cheerful, yes, yes, I now he has mounted upon the breast where he's shouted,

00:08:25.730 - 00:08:32.420

he is waived his blade. While I quote coward have done nothing wrong with a send to fill jobs and couple last

00:08:32.420 - 00:08:39.500

two way even shower found a breast works that is gathered, that picture dress that is exhilarating. But rather the end of thousands of

00:08:39.500 - 00:08:49.460

wave as an Chow has accomplished. Go, they've done their best master telling, selling their as well. Even if one's vast amounts

00:08:49.460 - 00:08:59.210

to nothing still it is one's best and should have phrases such as tendons. Thanks for that generous concession. Millionaire looking through his bath,

00:08:59.210 - 00:09:07.880

they are preparing to follow up the attack that swam with offices, all catalysts of danger. The men aloft laugh across from closeness to

00:09:07.880 - 00:09:19.540

crow's nest and ways Hans ingest. He throws down Devices, Act manna. Another Dao roars head and again, a great smoke cloud obscures the HAVA.

00:09:19.540 - 00:09:27.020

The wind sweeps over the populace roofs in a while the face, and then the fumes of battle with it. The flags below flown

00:09:27.020 - 00:09:35.840

to the face of defiance, but one of them, not as fair long distance. Now flaps all TA1 and shredded and Mikhail, a shell strikes the proud building

00:09:35.840 - 00:09:43.070

above which it rises. The millionaire, nanny binom, this, that building his mind. If you can, nothing for the city,

00:09:43.070 - 00:09:48.800

at least two settings of the citizen who was money is made all your experiments and investigations possible.

00:09:48.800 - 00:09:56.240

Where the focus is we should have built where the ships we should have floated. Tibet as you have surrendered to fade a rents and quick,

00:09:56.240 - 00:10:04.640

quick text that key. Most of the time is approaching. But they must be made to understand who has saved them and how and

00:10:04.640 - 00:10:14.720

from what I look for no other attend go. You can look for the FEV and gratitude of a great country for tenants and for all the honest,

00:10:14.720 - 00:10:24.890

this magnificent city can bestow millionaire and for money beyond your utmost needs. Pupil and for a famed can never die.

00:10:24.890 - 00:10:35.420

Must've. For the mailing FISMA, You may be right as well. For that, we poets a while to Mel, to Yale descends from the street.

00:10:35.420 - 00:10:42.860

There's a medalist, scuffles and cries on the other side of the workshop, dog. The pupil. Again, the crowd calls up

00:10:42.860 - 00:10:51.530

to the profits and the profits, true or false, pass on the road to master. Let us meet that demand. Fit in if you can, if you can.

00:10:51.530 - 00:10:59.450

You can us I hope and I trust my money all gone through nothing. My property destroyed before my very eyes. They know that I have helped

00:10:59.450 - 00:11:10.550

to make you possible pupil famous worldwide even now. But that we may do could make it wide as just a hash as well.

00:11:10.550 - 00:11:19.040

Advances toward the table and places his hand upon one of the keys. Then pausing, he tends to go with a touch of TIMIT and often gathered,

00:11:19.040 - 00:11:27.980

say, Would you like to do it? Pupil hastening to his side. You the great mind, the Agee. Let such a moment we'll me a

00:11:27.980 - 00:11:34.250

casual bystander. The end crowns the work. The work crowns you. You should place the crowd upon your own,

00:11:34.250 - 00:11:44.510

his domestic, how their casual advice than Oswald. She has been here every day for Fortnite. But I had thought to recognize her interest.

00:11:44.510 - 00:11:53.330

We must try to bear in mind thought at that time the world's lies outside of science. We have a 2 likely to forget his pupil,

00:11:53.330 - 00:12:01.370

but it will never forget us. Fastest to go. When you press the key that Gail scans the Havas

00:12:01.370 - 00:12:08.890

and she looks into the master's face and suddenly shrinks away. Nasa twin yourself. I knew it.

00:12:08.890 - 00:12:19.100

I suspected it for days, yet I am a human being after all the tenants, it is an awful thing, but it must be done. It has no woman's was, let me do it.

00:12:19.100 - 00:12:26.060

The girl looks at him with a startled admiration and she lays attaining hand upon his own millionaire.

00:12:26.060 - 00:12:32.870

Then let me do it. No, and I'm sure it has better and the right pupil, we do not deny the right to bravery or

00:12:32.870 - 00:12:44.180

even to view date with the right of myth. I will do it faster as well. And again, advances taught the keyboard. For new disorder outside

00:12:44.180 - 00:12:51.920

the dog tries to hold him back. No Favorite must be shown. He cannot enjoy unless we add her to. The Pressman precipitates himself

00:12:51.920 - 00:12:59.150

into the room with tongue pose and bleeding face test when calling back. It is the friend that I'm admitted.

00:12:59.150 - 00:13:06.320

I'm not meeting to take an unfair advantage. He slams the door in, braces himself against it. The pupil hastens to

00:13:06.320 - 00:13:13.040

strengthen his resistance. Fearful. How did you dad do this? Fast and quick?

00:13:13.040 - 00:13:18.210

Quick. They would tell me to pieces my key. My key, where is it? Where have I drafted pupil?

00:13:18.210 - 00:13:25.090

On this side the door, I hope. But here's mine. Professor, and recovering his breath to the master.

00:13:25.090 - 00:13:33.110

Why this delay the whole town is in a frenzy of fat Phanish. What you've tried and failed, failed my guy. Pupil.

00:13:33.110 - 00:13:42.220

We have not failed. We have not fail fast and then tie in heaven's name. But then the city will be a min-heap of smoking ruin.

00:13:42.220 - 00:13:48.680

And those of us who are left alive will be a massive pitiful beg as preying upon one another for the needs of daily life.

00:13:48.680 - 00:13:56.920

Act men, amendments, delay may mean your own ruin and death. You little know the temper of the crowd. I felt my way through up your stairs.

00:13:56.920 - 00:14:06.800

Your only hope mastered. The only hope should be beyond rough handling, precedence than haste to put it there.

00:14:06.800 - 00:14:16.010

Come, what is the thing to be done? The advances toward the keyboard. If no one else will do it, let me do it. Pupil. But presumption, we

00:14:16.010 - 00:14:24.970

fought the saw it and you would show us how to wielded. Another candidate from the C shell exploded than a 100 yards of the mast as tau.

00:14:24.970 - 00:14:33.320

And tears to sudden tet has the flag that strains in the gay or from his window ledge fit in as they know. They know I told you there's

00:14:33.320 - 00:14:44.050

a new tuple was shunned by a light that act my master. The Masters standing at his table or the goofing hit,

00:14:44.050 - 00:14:55.880

takes a deep reluctant breath and applies a long slow pressure as one of the keys. There's a vast and instantaneous response. Here, remain standing in an adult as FQ,

00:14:55.880 - 00:15:05.630

but the others hastening to the window, see with no man has ever seen before. And here, no man has ever had. New forces had been someone from

00:15:05.630 - 00:15:15.020

the Wahaha and from the air and find themselves for the first time face to face in the service of men. The dock and sky seems full of vast,

00:15:15.020 - 00:15:24.930

gleaming similar ties to see splits widely into a great yawning chasm. The land rocks, measurable clouds compounded of smoke and

00:15:24.930 - 00:15:33.560

spray and of new things. Yet without a name real madly over the town and pass the town. For the elements of the elements

00:15:33.560 - 00:15:43.180

have been loosed at last and in a wider way that one then one has ever dared to dream. The work of creation has been undone.

00:15:43.180 - 00:15:52.880

The pupil exalting me though nothing has yet to be distinguished. The millions of men and millions of money, Gail photos they done.

00:15:52.880 - 00:16:06.340

Pupil possessing nothing. The Gale times lift tall, domestic law. Has he done? Thus the immovable and

00:16:06.340 - 00:16:16.430

with eyes still downwards, what was necessary? And they didn't. Why did you wait so long? The Kiara was hardly mind.

00:16:16.430 - 00:16:22.720

What do one who would search out the very life essence of the globe or the rank. Those are the four insects that swale

00:16:22.720 - 00:16:30.100

with finance surface precedent. That was not your reasons. Why did you wait so long lasting that are not

00:16:30.100 - 00:16:36.280

secure the complete expression of our studies. Thanks. How better to do this than to let the people

00:16:36.280 - 00:16:44.080

feel that from what Charles about to deliver them pupil mass. That's not that you're doing yourself an injustice.

00:16:44.080 - 00:16:51.440

Tell us the real reasons. Why did you wait so long? The master raise his eyes for the first time. Let's talk to Gail.

00:16:51.440 - 00:16:58.980

She refuses to meet his gaze. Instead, she looks out towards the sea from which the great cloud is lifting and blowing away.

00:16:58.980 - 00:17:06.590

She, She's only a massive rolling bellows upon which no single vestige of human life or human crafted is visible.

00:17:06.590 - 00:17:16.510

Within hysterical Shadow. She clasps hands across her eyes to go, take me away, take me away from this horrible place.

00:17:16.510 - 00:17:24.340

Take me away from the presence of this terrible man. Semester drops his head at the same time, awhile shadow Try it.

00:17:24.340 - 00:17:32.700

Rises from the roofs and from the streets. The 1000 feet ahead, swallowing up the stairs that go with the mounting fears.

00:17:32.700 - 00:17:40.980

They are coming in, take me away, press when I'm the only one who has anything to fair trial as well.

00:17:40.980 - 00:17:48.410

There's no lead leaving the other way. Gail, accompanied by her father and the lieutenant, retires through a small

00:17:48.410 - 00:17:58.190

dot on the other side. Pressman say you have done a great thing. Pupil, he has done the greatest thing. And he assured on earned wealth to the end of

00:17:58.190 - 00:18:08.840

his days in the same file beyond that, Pressman, they will Paul riches find you. They will prepare illuminations, foil, raise statues to the master.

00:18:08.840 - 00:18:16.520

Smiled. He shall not be honored, Millay, he shall be wishes. He need not go from among us via FFT size.

00:18:16.520 - 00:18:25.390

He is a god already. Fast and what is the meaning of his smile? Do you think otherwise? Semester yes.

00:18:25.390 - 00:18:32.040

Fashion. Are you thinking that the rewards or the will follow their own peculiar cautious and that,

00:18:32.040 - 00:18:41.550

that he who confers a benefit upon everybody. They get the thanks of nobody. Pupil. How can you say that here now? Master?

00:18:41.550 - 00:18:50.930

Perhaps faster than you're thinking too, that you're not precisely a part of the established order and that he who says it no less than he amuses,

00:18:50.930 - 00:18:58.580

it, is likely one day to be thrown callously aside. Pupil. How can you preach so shameful a doctrine?

00:18:58.580 - 00:19:09.760

How can you show yourself so misled, Hasidic, master, passively fast-food thinking it May 1 achieve the great new thing yet himself known

00:19:09.760 - 00:19:19.160

to humanity and human sympathies. Pupil, that is not true, that cannot be true. Master, glancing sideways towards

00:19:19.160 - 00:19:32.270

the private Dawn, That is true. Submitted and the lieutenant appear leading back to go from the inner rooms. Attendance, there is no escape.

00:19:32.270 - 00:19:39.320

The crowd is great. On one side, is on the other. Master advancing toward the Gale. There's no native escape

00:19:39.320 - 00:19:45.320

you a perfectly safe here. The Gale shrinks back. Pupil. Is this the way you can treat

00:19:45.320 - 00:19:52.700

a man who was a genius, who was almost a god. Again, on the verge of hysterics, she catches the lieutenants on.

00:19:52.700 - 00:20:02.220

He may be a God, or he may be amongst them. But he's not a man. Pupil. He is more than a man. Go, he may be more than n

00:20:02.220 - 00:20:10.820

or less than a man, or more or less. Both the FASB and truly man is not an intellectual vein, but an emotional being.

00:20:10.820 - 00:20:18.380

And women the same. How many more are there who had passed by the gray matter? And one unique rain for the red sewage,

00:20:18.380 - 00:20:28.850

it pulses from any one of a 100 commonplace. I can understand it. I loved the man who bravely opposes his own body to those of his fellow's rock,

00:20:28.850 - 00:20:34.550

and I have saved dread. So the big bloodless intelligence that sits aloft and common ideas out death to

00:20:34.550 - 00:20:42.020

10 thousand of his own kind. Nasty. You see, festering. I see. He who rides upon as well

00:20:42.020 - 00:20:53.210

and just ride alone. Pupils that you shall not ride alone. Dms that I shall have wings to follow you. Sound of a key is hidden now to DA and

00:20:53.210 - 00:21:01.800

the scuttling and struggling as renew fast with Nike, they've found it faster. Well, when is upon us at last?

00:21:01.800 - 00:21:11.330

I should advise you to try. I should not advise you to try to ride upon it, suppresses the pupil. The ISO remain with you.

00:21:11.330 - 00:21:18.320

Press with retired or the others to the inner room. They will devastate you like a cloud of locusts.

00:21:18.320 - 00:21:28.070

An idol interruption. The empty glory of the master and his pupil remain there alone to oppose the wreckage threatened

00:21:28.070 - 00:21:46.360

by pressing and enthusiastic popular. Considering that's risen nearly 60 years ago, it seems to me a remarkable forecast. Because it always seemed to me

00:21:46.360 - 00:21:56.950

that the climax however, came not with the passing of the key, but rather Masdar sign that says to the jail and impressment and said,

00:21:56.950 - 00:22:03.850

Do you think May 1 achieve the great new thing yet bringing self no near the humanities. Damascus suddenly says, Having said

00:22:03.850 - 00:22:15.860

perhaps and possibly to the others, he says that is two. That seems to be the climax of the time. From the time, the human point of view.

00:22:17.140 - 00:22:26.390

There's one line here which is so interestingly, prophetic of the release of the atom faces in

00:22:26.390 - 00:22:42.770

a ride away then one has ever dared to dream. The work of creation has been done. Quite an astonishing that if prophecy, I think I'm going

00:22:42.770 - 00:22:52.940

to read now with some diffidence appointment my own. It's been requested several times. And today it was requested guy and a slave

00:22:52.940 - 00:23:00.530

by one of our pupils. And so I'm going to read it. I've read to sun as soon as the sequence before.

00:23:00.530 - 00:23:08.500

I think our fellow circumstances of the sequence, because it has a touch you to do it also. But nothing so astonishing

00:23:08.500 - 00:23:29.290

is the play I've just read. It's a sequence of 14 sonnets that was written for the 150th anniversary. 160th anniversary of the founding,

00:23:29.290 - 00:23:41.810

a Phi Beta Kappa, 1938. And this was a year before the wall, but it is a fairly clear prophecy of the war. It was written, begun

00:23:41.810 - 00:23:49.400

just the day after the 1938 hurricane. And since we've just been in another canvas in nature, not so great neurons

00:23:49.400 - 00:23:56.570

have such rather appropriate. And I went into my words and not in Connecticut and found so many great trees

00:23:56.570 - 00:24:03.860

down and such wreckage. This scene for file has its place but never be the same again. And it seemed rather symbolic of

00:24:03.860 - 00:24:12.410

the will then the sonnet sequence tends to examine the reason for the weakness of men of goodwill. And it was seen as a weakness

00:24:12.410 - 00:24:23.530

of men of goodwill is merely that they do not, they hadn't the conviction of that goodwill, that they do not call upon the same pause

00:24:23.530 - 00:24:37.280

with such strength as do the men of IL. Well, that is the, the evil men willing to make sacrifices that we expect only have sales

00:24:37.280 - 00:24:45.370

in order to gain the evil engines. It is there ascetics and people thought devoting everything to one end.

00:24:45.370 - 00:24:54.140

Whereas so it would seem people of goodwill have committed themselves to be loud asleep by a preoccupation with

00:24:54.140 - 00:25:04.100

the mere superficial things of living material things. And that the goodwill though it exists in graded for

00:25:04.100 - 00:25:15.640

Fraassen and the evil desire for mmm pa, nevertheless is that itself become paralyzed by mere material things. That's the main theme of the sequence.

00:25:15.640 - 00:25:22.430

It's dedicated to my old friend John Stewart Brian, who was president of William and Mary at that time.

00:25:22.430 - 00:25:32.380

He's now dead. Some of you may have known him. He was very face Virginia gentleman. And then this was refunded

00:25:32.380 - 00:25:45.280

separately in his honor by the Harvard University Press. And as I say consists of 14 sun, it's there in Shakespearian phone,

00:25:45.280 - 00:25:53.130

I believe one or two deviation that's in the fall, but I forget which they are and probably noticed it anyway.

00:25:53.130 - 00:26:01.850

Of course, you must remember this was a poem for an occasion. And it was started the day after the hurricane.

00:26:01.850 - 00:26:12.010

Hurricane is exactly the spring. The autumn equinox is September 21st. But this must have been written very quickly after because

00:26:12.010 - 00:26:27.610

the boy was delivered in the same year. So it must have been delivered in November. This is no idle rhetoric to reach a is for this occasion.

00:26:27.610 - 00:26:40.190

Though I use some figures that are common to all speech. Some noble words made week with long abuse. For I've seen winds blow the forests down

00:26:40.190 - 00:26:53.780

and I have seen some steady trees survive. Death devise scene. And wa, and I have known the miracles that keep the cell alive.

00:26:53.780 - 00:27:07.920

I have known as well the things that kill with a long day. Those on substantial men who would with money always systems fill the human vibe.

00:27:07.920 - 00:27:17.530

That shall we divide until the Spirit is acknowledged once again, as lot of things, we shall be richer than.

00:27:17.530 - 00:27:26.860

It was the morning after the great wind had wrecked my country. And the 20th year, since I had had more mad destruction,

00:27:26.860 - 00:27:38.240

deny through walked on words if it's distracted sphere. Yet in the trampled wreckage of the wood ripped by the wind from its New England.

00:27:38.240 - 00:27:50.510

A red tree and a yellow tree withstood in forthright awesome promise of rebirth. And in this chatted forest,

00:27:50.510 - 00:28:03.290

which I thought destroyed beyond the hope of future springs. The lonely god against oblivion, rot in dream of new leaves and

00:28:03.290 - 00:28:18.650

retaining wanes as an, a shattered world. The loan they'd huge from the old wisdom must create the new nature and men entangled in one scheme,

00:28:18.650 - 00:28:27.590

moved to the pulses. If the sleeping God, both in the wavering pattern of his dream, flower to the sun.

00:28:27.590 - 00:28:38.200

Swivel to the sod. Coincidence of haddock, not by chance laid waste my country, forest, field and town.

00:28:38.200 - 00:28:51.700

The same when wrecked the poplar Grove of France and blue the mighty oak of England down. Storms and was on easily reveal the sleep.

00:28:51.700 - 00:29:03.280

In whose mind the nightmare rages. Would he awaken? And at dawn unseal the bright spring morning of the golden ages.

00:29:03.280 - 00:29:13.380

Roc still sniff on. Good. We know the long dream nearer to the age of gold.

00:29:14.170 - 00:29:24.860

We need not sanction articles of faith made large by littleness. The split had doubled yet or they wiser than the creative death,

00:29:24.860 - 00:29:36.090

by which not only life but death is troubled. God was born amongst us. We must know and that he died. And daily dies again.

00:29:36.090 - 00:29:48.880

Needs but ah sorry, hots for fruit, which show anger. As the ANA about pain. Plan, scheme, this dry lament,

00:29:48.880 - 00:30:00.620

denounce and kill the active in all violence. Hate your neighbor. Sneak through a hidden name to MIT. Still the old anguish crowns

00:30:00.620 - 00:30:14.320

the misdirected labor for godless bond to amus against pain. But we chose anger and loved, died in vain. It is the crowd has come upon us.

00:30:14.320 - 00:30:24.340

Every man flung blind, they buy the machine. Worry replaces faith and anger forever. A all caught.

00:30:24.340 - 00:30:33.000

The rich, the poor, and those between in traps of men's contrivance. But beyond control that,

00:30:33.000 - 00:30:46.300

and then we perish here. Like animals imprisoned in a pound, foot fall upon each other, crazed with fair. Where those lonely out a heavier days

00:30:46.300 - 00:30:56.700

went for the lodge on knowledge of the night, the soul of man beside the star a seas may measure once again, depth and height have lost humanity.

00:30:56.700 - 00:31:09.410

Fair, the chats, the ship's captains, and the undoubted Haas. Suspicion narrows every passing household as peer through slits in

00:31:09.410 - 00:31:20.730

the front door TO cc's, if the creaking of a flaw and airplanes do other things than fly. The candidates smile and handshake.

00:31:20.730 - 00:31:31.190

Now no more link friends and unselfconscious hominin woods have a hush upon them like Ally is known to be trusted to the QA.

00:31:31.190 - 00:31:42.240

All, all are waiting, waiting and 45 minds money, explosives from above. This something deadly when men reason.

00:31:42.240 - 00:31:55.960

So in times of peace as if they were at war, strike first and see who struck. Perhaps a file, a friend, small likely, and most likely love.

00:31:55.960 - 00:32:06.800

Many anaphase stands insulin proof that God with men once worked in common fate. Though Moss has molded through the broken roof and Alt as someone but

00:32:06.800 - 00:32:16.630

a priestly rate man-made this miracle though it may seem raised every stone sang the living word, and echoes linger.

00:32:16.630 - 00:32:27.920

Isn't a dream from that strange music which they have a head. However, faith, however far away, they sing again, stylised facts

00:32:27.920 - 00:32:37.750

and wanton force. They shame the age that measures night and day. Five-stars and Athens heedless of the sauce.

00:32:37.750 - 00:32:52.690

That proves there is no God yet never can prove the existence of that myth. A man. The good remains forever undefined. But we have known through all our wonderings,

00:32:52.690 - 00:33:01.870

says the two treasure must be of the mind seconds that no man can be slayed to things. We cannot conquer spiritual evil

00:33:01.870 - 00:33:11.230

when we lost and things of speed. And since a lot of things, hatred of the devil cancel. And once you find a difference,

00:33:11.230 - 00:33:21.520

the arsenal of pieces down already. When piece itself is Tom was the enemies at one, at hot and steady, athletic,

00:33:21.520 - 00:33:34.300

lean, Frank severe is evil a maybe, but at least they now, passive good is a self conquered. Evil may also have It's mystic vision, right?

00:33:34.300 - 00:33:45.470

Lucifer himself a star of moaning, immune to 50 other wheels division in triad. It triumphs after contemptuous wanting the media center like

00:33:45.470 - 00:33:57.590

the mightiest same mass rend his spirit to achieve his goal. Ascetic to mere crime or fleshly take, he wins complete provision of the cells.

00:33:57.590 - 00:34:11.180

Magnificently Evil son does on signing no holiness to match its wrath. All values out of this, all boundaries gun. The entire world becomes an open path.

00:34:11.180 - 00:34:23.710

Evil has spirit, though a downward wings, while good lies top it parallelized. Things. Somewhat attack however much they fear it

00:34:23.710 - 00:34:35.300

outward from the monstrosity to us that daka, daka war against the spirit. Without whose power the monster could not be. Never buy fewer.

00:34:35.300 - 00:34:42.920

A firing shot for shot. Kinda good triumph. Brother, killing brother. Ages of history, a test it.

00:34:42.920 - 00:34:53.680

But we still supplant one evil with another. To us, the dark. To us the dive, like the old heroes to the months does Den,

00:34:53.680 - 00:35:03.080

where essentially weapons fail. And we must strive in darkness with those lights, thou safe to men the mines.

00:35:03.080 - 00:35:11.770

This meditate the cells that summer to human health. The pod made us humans. We shall be good at.

00:35:11.770 - 00:35:20.900

In an age when Laughter rings out to drown the fuselage of guilt. The ivory tower. It's every crazy rafter,

00:35:20.900 - 00:35:30.500

will be referred to as the thing way belt. And more than likely we shall fail. She'll fail. And times when triumph had been very sweet.

00:35:30.500 - 00:35:40.290

But Sydney at last we must prevail. So we have blown dust down and awesome Street, wisdom and quiet, peace and holiness.

00:35:40.290 - 00:35:51.510

These are the things we may or may not win, but through their magic, failure or success, lost in the shear courage to begin.

00:35:51.510 - 00:36:02.080

Faith. The fabric which we may not see. This side of death, this side eternity, the search itself as its fulfillment.

00:36:02.080 - 00:36:11.930

Now when we are nagged by every sterile cause, let us renew, omit these brawls. Thou of contemplation to the ancient laws.

00:36:11.930 - 00:36:24.470

In gross, when no wind reaches to destroy, where time itself dies with the sunset when let us renew our spiritual joy, the boundless freedom of

00:36:24.470 - 00:36:34.760

the disciplines We should be good at as the uncouth host. Jed adaptation so that monkeys tile whose beacons mapped upon and

00:36:34.760 - 00:36:44.930

windswept coast where wisdom had found refuge from ten miles. The flight beyond the world. For those who must preserve

00:36:44.930 - 00:36:53.660

some pattern for the whaling dust. Light of this world from the world tries to dock. And lot of this world

00:36:53.660 - 00:37:04.130

whom faith alone can find. Word of this world who men will not hoc and write presence 2s radiance men are blind. View with compassion.

00:37:04.130 - 00:37:15.730

Ya, revolving wheel, primal gift. Now failing to destruction, your goal converted to a blast of steel. Wisdom twisted by Dr.

00:37:15.730 - 00:37:26.990

corruption in lonely spirits here and there in flame, austere enthusiasm for the, for the plan, which in your image first and then

00:37:26.990 - 00:37:35.840

your name would have created the triumphant man. Speak immortality through them. Wage war on things.

00:37:35.840 - 00:37:46.310

Men worship that men live one small that men may live. And on the morning hills, the sun may rise not only to reveal the ruin,

00:37:46.310 - 00:37:54.320

but as well the sentinel. So God, future, good. From present arrow. Then shall we live?

00:37:54.320 - 00:38:03.510

Glad wake us from despair, throw off the dark dream. And once more a set interval. And son and heir.

00:38:03.510 - 00:38:13.960

Even in forests where the mad when Swift, it'll be such a day is all redeem us have died thaw, though they seem to die in vain.

00:38:13.960 - 00:38:24.410

The evil men of violence, the schemas who whispered violence to helpless dreamers. Shao with that dark dream die and wake and

00:38:24.410 - 00:38:39.340

men with God once wake and will not sleep again. The tell them that foil is darker than it would be now.

00:38:39.340 - 00:38:48.910

And I see in the reading is for and how much Verizon has lightened and they try the flood is 930 a run that's next to that.

00:38:48.910 - 00:38:59.170

15 years is 25, was written just about 15 years ago. And suddenly the whole spirit of the world seems to be

00:38:59.170 - 00:39:14.720

much less topic than it was at the time I wrote that poem. I suppose it's as when a disease is coming on or a common cold feels

00:39:14.720 - 00:39:25.590

most miserable the far it actually breaks. And I suppose the atmosphere that you have a fall of the wall is much heavier than we realized at the time.

00:39:26.350 - 00:39:36.510

The last two well, I want to make an announcement now. Two weeks from now when we have our next reading,

00:39:36.510 - 00:39:46.190

I'm going to read from a practically unknown almost lost jobs San Xian, as it says, Laura,

00:39:46.190 - 00:39:54.320

when he called theological genre, Lucifer, spit it into very small edition by skewedness back in the nineties.

00:39:54.320 - 00:40:01.340

And the fact that his fears that was published in an absurdly expensive edition, which by gracefully finish,

00:40:01.340 - 00:40:11.330

if I happen to receive to coffers us about 25, 30 years ago. So it never really got to hearing. It's a very interesting than

00:40:11.330 - 00:40:20.230

a theological and philosophical dharma called Lucifer. And I'm going to read some sections from it and say a little about it.

00:40:20.230 - 00:40:28.980

For at least touched on it. Reading it has some beautiful poetry in it. Sounds Yana and is added days to sound Yana of the sonnet sequence.

00:40:28.980 - 00:40:38.720

Here is that as best as poet, the midst of our program tonight will be two or three Middle English lyrics.

00:40:38.720 - 00:40:45.200

And then I want to read you some lyrics for a book which will be out very soon. They collected times of

00:40:45.200 - 00:40:56.600

Louise Townsend nickel. I've read some macaroni poems. Because these readings, I remember reading the focus

00:40:56.600 - 00:41:04.400

has that lovely thing to bear in which malice della loudly into division, which is so appropriate for

00:41:04.400 - 00:41:10.880

Christmas last year at our proudly read it again. The focus was this year. Well, this macrocytic, this medieval times.

00:41:10.880 - 00:41:16.880

It's quite interesting because I always like to show off how many languages they knew and sometimes they'd

00:41:16.880 - 00:41:27.380

write appointment to foreign languages. This little dot point for thought in French and English and Latin. It says, predicate invention of

00:41:27.380 - 00:41:38.300

love letter from a friend to the fence, from the lava to the beloved. And I'll just translate it directly. As you'll see, it's nothing very unusual and

00:41:38.300 - 00:41:50.190

its contents to the one, to the de-risk, the world wrong man found the loveliest gradings. Suddenly.

00:41:50.190 - 00:41:58.580

The great love that Grace and join all honest. Oh sweet. Hist1. Know well, pleasant and beautiful.

00:41:58.580 - 00:42:10.070

I'm at, I'm in good health. And I send you my mind's own day and night forever. Like sweetest and most beloved,

00:42:10.070 - 00:42:18.780

nice night and day. Isi, for love of the, the permanent and faithful. And I will fire.

00:42:18.780 - 00:42:29.360

You, make me feel the love that you've damaged. All my joy is in everything. I've given you everything, my

00:42:29.360 - 00:42:41.390

hots for love you. And I pray you. Squeezing. Kit is a failure to charity, to hold was a risk that I read to

00:42:41.390 - 00:42:54.860

you and turn me and the God of PQ. And so farewell. And here it is in French and Middle English and Latin.

00:42:54.860 - 00:43:07.670

Wonderful, wonderfully graceful, composite. Perhaps on a face of a challenge, just the same as salary please aim or a viola though

00:43:07.670 - 00:43:22.930

that E cell is a tray handle with graphs and joint dual system a Savior that there, that the enriched in good at lattice crystal.

00:43:22.930 - 00:43:36.980

It's one-on-one, done a good day, and I'll Niche and a trace to say twice in a day filled Spiro. So I eat me. A legal love

00:43:36.980 - 00:43:45.740

may sell to eat fish. Require a bushel suite to donate. Hearts is full of love. Does a presenter, if

00:43:45.740 - 00:43:56.210

this pre straightening for the course, the ZIM into JMU pretty fast sciatic day is involved. Is that fair? To make them in turn,

00:43:56.210 - 00:44:07.670

they may have to log a lot. Yes, Kivu gas is valid. Salary isn't much more fun problem isn't working out.

00:44:07.670 - 00:44:15.290

And crossword puzzles or even double acrostics. And then there's run-time here. I want to save time for

00:44:15.290 - 00:44:28.730

three or four Miss Nikos files because they seemed to me important. Suppose I read you just the famous toilet, Chaucer's younger, fresher focus.

00:44:28.730 - 00:44:45.520

Hey, uh, she merely a little admonition to you to remember that besides the loud, There's also the heavenly love.

00:44:45.520 - 00:44:56.870

It says, it's a toy with the religious twist. I'll read some of these opioids from time to time because N stands for several. Who comes these readings?

00:44:56.870 - 00:45:10.110

People like the sound of them. I think this is perfectly clear. The first says to the young people, not have found, nearly found the fifth phase,

00:45:10.110 - 00:45:17.480

but also to Christ. And the second stanza gives the reason for loving him. He died on the cross, and so on.

00:45:17.480 - 00:45:28.580

It's a very beautiful fine in an old phone call, right or wrong. Oh yeah, the friendship fall because Pinochet in which that

00:45:28.580 - 00:45:37.880

Nava growth video repair at home from we'll examine stay in W on how to cast it to these adjectives. Silica, got that out to you as

00:45:37.880 - 00:45:46.850

the manager Yeoman and think thumbs bit of fat and this was passed and so on as food is fair, in love with him, they

00:45:46.850 - 00:45:55.880

wished for love upon a cross. Was Sewell this for today? First stuff and robust and sit in hidden above the hay nail fastener.

00:45:55.880 - 00:46:07.140

Wish daddy say is that well, it's hot all falling out of him later. And said, Hey, that's too loud is more snake. But made it faded lavas foster safe.

00:46:07.140 - 00:46:16.610

It's a beautiful language, isn't lost a great deal. And monitoring this. I wouldn't say we're gay it, we'd lost more than we gave

00:46:16.610 - 00:46:23.690

it a final reason, seventh and the consonant, a vowel sounds because they're beautiful. But that last couple, since he is

00:46:23.690 - 00:46:34.040

best to love and most me, why you have to seek for fainted and said, Hey, that's two lovers most make us. But native thing is love.

00:46:34.040 - 00:46:43.790

As far as beautiful flow to that what she was searched far to get in modern English. Well, a few weeks ago,

00:46:43.790 - 00:46:53.810

I addressed the associated librarians athletic City, and my topic was the reason for the decline

00:46:53.810 - 00:47:01.280

of interest in modern poetry. I think I spoke with last time. But one of the reasons is of course the lack in

00:47:01.280 - 00:47:10.320

most bookstores of well educated books at the start, I used to have before the First World War for example.

00:47:10.320 - 00:47:17.780

When the book facts for both levels, both worms, if you will, usually older people. So always have some

00:47:17.780 - 00:47:26.990

new discoveries present to you. And that was in the days we're discovering all the poets. So now well established

00:47:26.990 - 00:47:35.790

in history and a good many whose task has been forgotten sometimes and sometimes not as disappearance or occurs.

00:47:35.790 - 00:47:43.830

Reputations ON interesting, I kind of went with now. But nowadays the book trade has been organized like everything else.

00:47:43.830 - 00:47:54.840

And you'll find the few events selling poets and the other thoughts when fits their books are out. But you won't find any variety

00:47:54.840 - 00:48:03.920

of poetry on the shelves. Public finance, but rather where your poetry in general, because so much of it is willfully

00:48:03.920 - 00:48:11.800

obscure and disdainful of the public and therefore it can hog, they hope to capture their hot topic. I mean, the education because they've

00:48:11.800 - 00:48:21.080

got millions in the streets. Well, poetry has come to a dead end, simply selling the last unsorted list. Because the people who should be

00:48:21.080 - 00:48:31.670

looking for new for sale, yes, they're frost at LA let's see, there's frost at Las Well, that's off. And go into any bookshop better for

00:48:31.670 - 00:48:40.400

oxidized by any other thought names were living. In the old days, of course, there were great shelves of books and

00:48:40.400 - 00:48:51.830

your slogan and educational bookseller. You were to take your change it to him. He had his recommendations. That's i sound husband.

00:48:51.830 - 00:49:00.530

And I. Fidel and various other theories. Well, now occasionally a very good book for foils

00:49:00.530 - 00:49:08.600

comes out and it is passed over the public and not bought because in the first place their attention is called,

00:49:08.600 - 00:49:17.840

threw it in the second phase. Comes, think it off or just wealthy, cure. My line to eat tons of nickels, new collected toys is one of the side,

00:49:17.840 - 00:49:25.310

but in fact actually helps you call it if the editor of the Times doesn't change my title, actually view it under the title

00:49:25.310 - 00:49:36.600

of a great lyric poet. You can see that very often. She's a poet with a set of us mystical leanings button.

00:49:36.600 - 00:49:47.020

She's filling out all the details of this world. As I said, my view is sort of mysticism. This emphasizes rather than,

00:49:47.020 - 00:49:53.960

and I'd like to read just a few of the things. You'll notice that had technique is very beautiful.

00:49:54.360 - 00:50:04.840

These are collected poems. And it's a wonder that she isn't better, no knowledge. All the critics of every school agree on

00:50:04.840 - 00:50:16.080

her excellence and even her fellow poets praise him. See, I'll read you a few. Thickness ought to be out.

00:50:16.080 - 00:50:27.470

About the 20th of this month. I read your first one called Snow life because it's so appropriate to see. But you'll see what she does

00:50:27.470 - 00:50:39.880

with the double picture. No light enters. Now life sentence off the yeah. They had distance.

00:50:39.880 - 00:50:52.070

Disappear. Snow like less than five. Snow sleet logged in. Then the strange that it could be forgotten how cells rest

00:50:52.070 - 00:51:03.020

but his forgot who was laying on his nose comes repos, snow live rounds is smallest sphere. Milk, illuminance,

00:51:03.020 - 00:51:15.200

unfair, like the curious glass ball. Children 10, first snow to fall. No life lingered in that tie. And feet.

00:51:15.200 - 00:51:27.240

No snow like a disk drive? Slowly now the snows slowly now the snow as if through someone soon will tend the snowfall.

00:51:27.240 - 00:51:37.310

Snow lights filtered residue, snow like entrance. Now live centers in the cell. Now the fees for glove is

00:51:37.310 - 00:51:49.110

how it's really beautiful, seems to me the way she take the fence now, then the little twist of fate away if it's snowing inside with the size, make it.

00:51:49.110 - 00:51:59.100

Now in the wall. That's typical of I used to selling very simple and common place and turning it to a new angle.

00:51:59.590 - 00:52:13.560

This is rather fine about the old apple trees. Vocational know better. As time goes on and really getting

00:52:13.560 - 00:52:23.700

old apple trees look like old horse is standing together in a meadow, was from knees and fell remains. No one has carried them.

00:52:23.700 - 00:52:32.460

No one is groom them. Love the feel of the range. All the objects stand rooted in their ragged shadow.

00:52:32.460 - 00:52:44.540

Shade which is once as rich a yield as fruit of bloom or leave. So are all falses in the steel. And diminishing grief from

00:52:44.540 - 00:52:56.540

this unbearable pit a godsend. It's really funny for all things left to their own resources. Old man, old apple tree.

00:52:56.540 - 00:53:14.690

Oh, here's another timeout. So Sonoma, she's made it. Her father snow is coming. By noting where the seed pods,

00:53:14.690 - 00:53:32.270

they are. India. The Indians. They say they'll be as D for fall, as snow as this year's Indian. And he had a wreck and death.

00:53:32.270 - 00:53:44.210

And high enough to know. The flowers are growing extra tall this year, slender with small like clusters at the top. They find, calculate to

00:53:44.210 - 00:53:58.730

the unseen place where snow on from unfollow and yet We'll stop. The clusters. Just suggest snow crystal lay. These meadows will be

00:53:58.730 - 00:54:07.570

blown and drifted steep. These Reaching flaws. Such small seed to so taught that Great Harvest.

00:54:07.570 - 00:54:25.530

Only he can read the massive myriad flawed reserves now, forgotten my microphone for that one tend to lend to them then.

00:54:26.560 - 00:54:43.150

This one about the past, I think, is quite interesting. Sees the past as a talk where we come death and of course

00:54:43.150 - 00:54:53.400

with a stranger to people who stayed in the past that just as they were sweeping change. The past is a foreign port.

00:54:53.400 - 00:55:01.900

We said move into it slowly. Now, for the Ohad and your eyes like a figurehead, fixed intent on the prow.

00:55:01.900 - 00:55:15.280

Walk silently into the yielding Doc. Listen, listen again for the awful sound, the delicate Shah of the speech of living men way or I can throw

00:55:15.280 - 00:55:27.080

Yaro doubly twisted strands woven of logging and of hope to tether, Use the land. The fabulous folk are unaware of you.

00:55:27.080 - 00:55:36.260

Who are there creature. You mingle with them free as a gas, a figment from the future. And you will find your magical way

00:55:36.260 - 00:55:46.800

as if you were reading a story abroad and an incredible day with Tara and with glory, the sun above you in its prime.

00:55:46.800 - 00:55:54.200

And on your face, the weather roughened to the grains of time and timelessness. Together.

00:55:54.200 - 00:56:06.480

The past is a place on an antique shop. You will know the curve of the coast. It will come back to Modern Law. You are the ghost.

00:56:09.190 - 00:56:23.000

Lastly, I'd like to read a poem which I felt very fine called sled math, gets to illustrates so well the working of the poetic imagination.

00:56:23.000 - 00:56:31.540

Here's Freud walking through a field and she simply notices that the sleds of last winter I've cut extra d so that in

00:56:31.540 - 00:56:40.390

the cellular fields you can still see where the sled moths were. And then see where that leads just in a few lines.

00:56:40.390 - 00:56:52.800

The sled mock stay all summer in this hill from last year's coasting. This is the glacier lot, the high field, boasting its own moraine,

00:56:52.800 - 00:57:06.620

which lies now in the noonday, warm and still hedge rows that it's edge. But in It's coming was itself a sledge laden with asleep,

00:57:06.620 - 00:57:23.550

forging away 2 times most slow domain. Age to descending age from ledge to ledge, creating the terrain. Last years to bargaining went deep.

00:57:23.550 - 00:57:34.100

Startling beyond all reason. These knots of winter. In the summer season. It's wonderful day when she comes back to

00:57:34.100 - 00:57:43.280

the line last just bargaining Wednesday, she means the entire ice age is cost and that you may not have gotten it. Just hearing it first

00:57:43.280 - 00:57:53.350

allowed to carry that was moths have sharp. The sled moths day all summer in this hail from last year's coasting. This is the glacier lot,

00:57:53.350 - 00:58:03.560

the high field boasting its own moraine which lies now and the noonday warm and still with hedge rows, it is edge, but it's coming was

00:58:03.560 - 00:58:18.530

itself a sledge laden with is asleep, forging away through times most slow domain, age to descending age and lead to ledge, creating the terrain.

00:58:18.530 - 00:58:32.630

Last years to bargaining went deep. Beyond all reason. These mocks have winter in the summer season. That will be all I was going

00:58:32.630 - 00:58:41.920

to read something for us tonight. We're hoping to have frost with this Robert Frost on the 20th of this month. So I don't, I wouldn't anticipate is coming.

00:58:41.920 - 00:58:52.700

But possibly later after his vineyard. I like to read to you some of the things he's read for further consideration of apps. And then there's 15 is especially our three,

00:58:52.700 - 00:58:54.960

which perhaps he'll forget.
