0:00:42.791,0:00:49.042
Daily the fair Sultan's daughter[br]Wanders to and fro at twilight

0:00:49.142,0:00:55.394
By the margin of the fountain,[br]Where the waters white are rippling.

0:00:55.494,0:01:01.746
Daily the young slave at twilight[br]Stands beside the fountain's margin,

0:01:01.846,0:01:08.098
Where the waters white are rippling,[br]Daily grows he pale and paler.

0:01:08.372,0:01:14.477
There one evening moved the princess[br]Toward the slave with words swift-spoken:

0:01:14.577,0:01:20.682
"Tell me, tell me what thy name is,[br]Where thy home is, what thy lineage?"

0:01:20.782,0:01:26.887
Spake the youthful slave: "My name is[br]Mohamet, I come from Yemen;

0:01:26.987,0:01:33.092
and by birth I am an Asra,[br]One who dieth when he loves."

0:07:43.586,0:07:52.152
"And by birth I am an Asra,[br]One who dieth when he loves."

0:08:58.123,0:09:02.198
See the madwoman as she passes by dancing

0:09:02.323,0:09:06.088
and vaguely recalling something.

0:09:07.167,0:09:13.974
Children pursue her with stones[br]as if she were a blackbird.

0:09:15.236,0:09:21.203
She brandishes a stick and[br]makes as if to pursue them.

0:09:22.202,0:09:25.356
But then she continues her way.

0:09:25.785,0:09:31.436
She has lost a shoe on her way.[br]But she does not notice it.

0:09:32.594,0:09:37.720
Long spider's legs crawl[br]at the nape of her neck,

0:09:38.522,0:09:41.912
but these are nothing but her hair.

0:09:43.174,0:09:47.433
Her face no longer resembles[br]any human countenance,

0:09:47.775,0:09:52.795
and she bursts into shrieks of laughter,[br]like a hyena.

0:09:57.211,0:10:02.968
She lets fall rags of phrases of which,[br]if they were knit together,

0:10:03.093,0:10:08.331
very few would would have any[br]clear significance.

0:10:11.512,0:10:14.955
Her gown, torn in several places,

0:10:15.954,0:10:21.579
flutters about her bony[br]and dung-sprinkled legs.

0:10:24.497,0:10:31.306
She wanders on like a poplar leaf[br]borne upon a whirlwind.

0:10:32.541,0:10:40.690
She, her youth, her illusions[br]and her former happiness

0:10:40.815,0:10:44.606
remembered now through the mists

0:10:45.010,0:10:49.890
of a ruined mind.

0:10:52.230,0:10:56.935
She has lost her former pristine[br]grace and beauty;

0:10:57.893,0:11:03.375
Her bearing is mean,[br]and her breath reeks of brandy.

0:11:06.214,0:11:09.500
If men were happy on this earth,

0:11:09.625,0:11:12.077
there would be cause[br]for astonishment.

0:11:13.785,0:11:17.991
The madwoman makes no reproaches,

0:11:18.680,0:11:23.984
she is too proud to complain[br]and will die

0:11:24.109,0:11:30.398
without having revealed her secret to those[br]who interest themselves in her

0:11:31.977,0:11:38.154
but whom she has forbidden[br]to ever address a word to her.

0:11:40.283,0:11:46.881
Children pursue her with stones[br]as if she were a blackbird.

0:11:50.167,0:11:55.241
She has dropped a roll of paper[br]from her bosom.

0:12:00.991,0:12:03.883
Someone picks it up,

0:12:04.008,0:12:08.982
locks himself in his room all night,[br]and reads the manuscript

0:12:09.883,0:12:12.327
that contains the following:

0:18:41.651,0:18:45.653
But when you say: "I love you",

0:18:47.584,0:18:52.064
I have to cry bitterly.

0:39:50.868,0:39:57.203
Let me enter,

0:39:58.412,0:40:05.337
before it is too late!

0:40:07.822,0:40:12.108
Your desire means nothing to me.

0:40:13.079,0:40:16.287
The appearance will vanish.

0:40:16.412,0:40:19.572
I'm looking for the laws.

0:42:46.379,0:42:51.032
When you embrace me, I feel a[br]sensation of humility

0:42:51.157,0:42:54.896
and can bear without sorrow[br]that you cherish me.

0:43:30.256,0:43:34.068
She is dead, Maria!

0:43:38.458,0:43:41.324
I beg you, God of Love,

0:43:41.449,0:43:43.531
take her to you.

0:47:50.157,0:47:54.047
A sailor, dressed in white,[br]walked down the street,

0:47:54.172,0:47:58.069
confident and with the[br]swaying walk of the seamen.

0:47:58.989,0:48:02.801
I looked at him, without[br]really knowing it.

0:48:03.905,0:48:08.899
He was much younger than I[br]had ever been

0:48:09.024,0:48:13.210
and much more beautiful and blond.

0:48:13.710,0:48:17.600
And his masculinity was so self-evident

0:48:17.725,0:48:23.304
that for a moment I felt[br]a sting, as if of envy.

0:48:24.934,0:48:30.770
Our paths crossed, and as if he[br]had seen in my eyes

0:48:30.895,0:48:37.841
a treacherous glint, he gave me[br]an inviting regard.

0:48:37.966,0:48:40.637
Such a regard he might just have

0:48:40.999,0:48:45.050
given to one of the beings, dressed up[br]with desperate accuracy,

0:48:45.440,0:48:48.773
in the cafés on the street.

0:48:49.351,0:48:53.268
Had this regard lasted only[br]a second longer,

0:48:53.899,0:48:58.893
then surely words would have been[br]spoken, something like the usual

0:48:59.018,0:49:02.731
"Hey Baby, shouldn't we know each other?".

0:49:03.625,0:49:07.975
My face was burning and my heart[br]was pounding in my chest

0:49:08.100,0:49:13.430
as I hurried on and tried[br]to look stiffly ahead.

0:49:14.192,0:49:18.004
He had caught me in an unguarded moment,

0:49:18.129,0:49:21.316
as I hadn't really thought of him,

0:49:21.946,0:49:24.601
but of the letter in my pocket

0:49:25.101,0:49:26.941
and of Helmut.

0:49:29.035,0:49:31.962
When I changed the street

0:49:32.620,0:49:36.982
I asked myself what he might have[br]seen in me.

0:49:37.107,0:49:40.532
I wasn't so young any more to believe,[br]that the way I walked

0:49:40.909,0:49:44.448
or held my hands had caught[br]his attention.

0:49:44.573,0:49:50.862
No, It must have been something different,[br]something that I didn't dare look in the eye.

0:49:50.987,0:49:56.461
For that would be like looking[br]into the flaring sun.

0:59:22.920,0:59:24.628
It was half past nine

0:59:25.338,0:59:29.991
and he hoped to be at home by ten.

0:59:32.251,0:59:35.932
It had been very presumptuous of him

0:59:36.057,0:59:42.167
to act as if he was sure[br]of knowing the future.

0:59:44.843,0:59:49.680
It had been very presumptuous of him

0:59:49.805,0:59:57.224
to act as if he was sure[br]of knowing the future.

1:00:03.270,1:00:09.080
Could not some unforeseen obstacle thwart him,

1:00:10.420,1:00:15.573
and would such a circumstance be so unusual,

1:00:16.124,1:00:21.724
as to lead him to regard it as an exception.

1:00:23.590,1:00:30.424
Why didn't he regard it rather as[br]an anormal fact

1:00:31.397,1:00:37.259
that it had been possible for him[br]to feel free of unrest

1:00:37.627,1:00:41.444
and, so to speak, happy?

1:00:43.699,1:00:45.513
Indeed.

1:00:46.354,1:00:49.614
With what right could he assert

1:00:49.955,1:00:53.610
to reach his home without damage,

1:00:54.319,1:00:58.603
and someone luring and following him

1:00:59.234,1:01:03.361
as if he was his future bait.

1:01:05.754,1:01:09.670
I so long for you.

1:01:12.068,1:01:16.511
I so long for you.

1:01:19.428,1:01:24.212
I so long for you.

1:01:39.394,1:01:43.706
That is death for me.

1:01:49.463,1:01:51.723
Death.

1:02:14.284,1:02:20.878
The judgements over men

1:02:21.671,1:02:28.636
are more precious than men themselves.

1:02:30.056,1:02:34.472
If I grant men

1:02:34.597,1:02:38.468
to despise me,

1:02:39.020,1:02:44.698
they shouldn't forget to say

1:02:46.117,1:02:50.061
that this is everything

1:02:50.954,1:02:56.106
I can do for them.

1:03:10.470,1:03:14.867
What am I supposed to do now?

1:03:58.632,1:04:08.569
I shouldn't have given him my love.

1:04:17.807,1:04:20.541
He is dead!

1:04:47.637,1:04:51.185
Let's put it off until tomorrow.

1:05:59.422,1:06:05.886
Federico Garcia,[br]the father of Maria Malibran

1:08:47.810,1:08:50.860
God be with you, friend!

1:08:51.306,1:08:55.350
God be with you, too![br]Where are you headed?

1:08:56.774,1:08:59.508
To Eisenstadt!

1:08:59.876,1:09:03.608
Then we can go the way together.

1:10:14.267,1:10:17.974
I think the best possibility for[br]a young man

1:10:18.315,1:10:22.938
to earn his living is to[br]take up drugs.

1:10:24.013,1:10:28.062
To secure the grip of a tight footgear

1:10:28.482,1:10:32.032
is the most prestigious task[br]of a southerner.

1:10:32.157,1:10:36.342
I believe, though, that the refinement[br]of the object I occupy myself with

1:10:36.467,1:10:41.206
corresponds to the character[br]of a beautiful warm clothing.

1:10:41.574,1:10:45.253
To dress the nude is futile,

1:10:45.378,1:10:51.641
for I know that the grip of him,[br]who wears my footwear, is so tight,

1:10:52.456,1:10:55.953
that he has no use for warmth.

1:12:49.215,1:12:54.420
I strongly suggest you supply[br]yourself with sufficient supplies.

1:12:55.524,1:13:01.018
I, for one, are going to buy me[br]an ample amount of bread.

1:13:01.990,1:13:06.276
The way is short, so we are going[br]to be at our destination before dawn.

1:13:07.112,1:13:09.798
I am not afraid, Hugo!

1:13:22.822,1:13:26.766
You are going to regret it!

1:16:49.506,1:16:58.707
If you give me one of your[br]shining blue eyes,

1:17:00.257,1:17:08.748
then I will give you something to eat.

1:19:09.906,1:19:18.195
You shall eat your fill, but I will[br]cut out one of your eyes for that.

1:20:24.800,1:20:28.323
Where are we?

1:20:32.389,1:20:39.486
At a place where you can finally rest.

1:21:47.437,1:21:51.827
At the neighboring pond grows an alder,[br]between whose roots there blooms a blue plant.

1:21:52.169,1:21:56.901
If one brew a tea of it and gave it to[br]a sick person, would have cured him soon.

1:21:57.026,1:22:00.554
You know something good,[br]but my science is even higher,

1:22:00.679,1:22:05.891
it would do a lot of people good, they are[br]dying of thirst anyway in the capital, the fools!

1:22:06.016,1:22:08.940
When they could have water!

1:22:09.065,1:22:12.864
- And how?[br]- In front of the gate after dawn, grows a beech,

1:22:12.989,1:22:16.094
From the steed, there mold away leaves,[br]on that horse one has to jump

1:22:16.514,1:22:20.670
and chase three times around the town square,[br]but so that sparks are thrown out!

1:22:20.795,1:22:25.031
- Well, and you?[br]- All the blind on earth could see again.

1:22:25.156,1:22:29.194
The blind would have to wash his eyes with[br]the dew that drips from the leaves this morning!

1:23:06.543,1:23:11.880
I can see again!

1:23:52.992,1:23:55.960
If you give me one of your eyes...

1:26:30.023,1:26:32.389
I don't know you.

1:26:32.863,1:26:34.912
And I have never been here.

1:26:39.971,1:26:42.074
I'm a singer.

1:26:43.020,1:26:44.203
You too?

1:26:46.726,1:26:49.775
I, too, am a singer.

1:26:52.167,1:26:55.663
I, too, am... a singer.

1:26:57.741,1:27:01.841
Maybe... we shall meet again some time.

1:27:08.276,1:27:13.139
In the year 1814

1:27:14.012,1:27:17.534
When your foot slips on a frog

1:27:17.659,1:27:20.662
you have a feeling of disgust;

1:27:21.004,1:27:27.576
But when you lightly stroke[br]the human body,

1:27:28.154,1:27:33.780
the skin of your fingers scales off[br]like the laminations of a block of mica

1:27:33.905,1:27:36.802
as one fractures it with a hammer.

1:27:48.248,1:27:52.586
and even as the heart of a shark still[br]palpitates with tenacious vitality

1:27:52.711,1:27:56.266
after it has been dead for an hour,

1:27:56.391,1:28:01.181
so our entrails are still moved

1:28:01.306,1:28:04.152
long after the contact.

1:28:05.493,1:28:12.931
To such an extent does man inspire[br]his fellow man with horror!

1:28:19.030,1:28:23.157
TO SUCH AN EXTENT DOES MAN

1:28:23.282,1:28:29.177
INSPIRE HIS FELLOW MAN[br]WITH HORROR!

1:33:02.872,1:33:07.734
The antique temple of Mendera[br]is situated one and a half hour

1:33:07.859,1:33:12.334
from the left bank of the Nile!

1:33:12.965,1:33:21.535
Today tremendous droves of wasps took[br]possession of the rives and quays.

1:33:22.271,1:33:28.948
They buzz around the pillars like[br]the dense waves of a black head of hair.

1:33:29.842,1:33:35.204
As sole inhabitant of[br]the cold pillar hall

1:33:35.329,1:33:38.621
they guard the entrance to the forecourts

1:33:38.746,1:33:43.432
as if that was their ancestral right.

1:33:43.773,1:33:48.847
I compare the buzzing of their[br]metallic wings

1:33:48.972,1:33:52.895
with the never ending blows of[br]the ice floes

1:33:53.020,1:33:58.679
which collide during the icefall[br]of the polar seas.

1:33:59.230,1:34:03.988
But when I think of[br]the conduct of him,

1:34:04.113,1:34:08.877
whom prevision gave the throne[br]of this earth,

1:34:09.219,1:34:14.057
then the three pinions of my pain

1:34:14.451,1:34:19.786
let hear a stronger buzz!

1:34:24.176,1:34:25.885
But he is dead,

1:34:27.173,1:34:31.510
Maria, he is dead, dead, dead!

1:34:55.166,1:35:02.811
Even his grave is kept secret from me.

1:36:31.787,1:36:36.160
10 years later

1:37:04.076,1:37:12.830
Can you imagine that?

1:37:42.169,1:37:47.400
I am not aware of any guilt.

1:38:05.916,1:38:10.385
I say it for the last time,[br]I will not work with him again.

1:38:10.511,1:38:15.722
But I'm begging you, I just want[br]your best, just your best!

1:38:15.847,1:38:19.954
I cannot work with Federico again.

1:38:20.079,1:38:23.187
I don't want to and I can't!

1:38:23.608,1:38:27.367
- I'm begging you, Signora Malibran, you have to sing![br]- It is impossible!

1:38:27.492,1:38:29.970
- You promised![br]- It's madness!

1:38:30.095,1:38:33.439
It's madness to force me!

1:40:32.438,1:40:39.798
Signora Malibran, your daughter[br]just committed suicide.

1:42:25.490,1:42:28.303
Nobody can force her now!

1:42:29.755,1:42:33.436
But I'm telling you, it's best for you!

1:42:35.723,1:42:39.376
You have to do it, and[br]if it's only for me!

1:42:40.967,1:42:48.380
Soon you will be an angel in heaven

1:43:11.960,1:43:16.981
I'm going to die, but at least[br]mother is going to avenge me!

1:43:17.401,1:43:22.658
I'm not going to die alone and[br]somebody is going to follow me!
