the last few split seconds of his life

12
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:40,840
no profound modalizing and the inability

13
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:42,960
of a Divine omnipotence which creates

14
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:46,760
the rose and the be in a word after this

15
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:48,719

00:01:14,479 --> 00:01:16,400
Shell dumps whatever for well they said

27
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:18,080
the shells cost5 each and it was

28
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:19,720
everyone's duty to save government money

29
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:21,799

some years later having finally

00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:49,760
recovered from shell shop I came to

58
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:51,800
London believing that only there could I

59
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:54,319
seriously begin my career as a writer

60
00:02:54,319 --> 00:02:56,360
and despite the passage of time my

61
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:58,120
companion From The Trenches was as good

62
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:01,640

68
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:18,440
but very influential literally weekly he

69
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:20,760
was considered one of the first poets in

70
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:22,720
the land the center of what was

71
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:24,680
doubtless a brilliant group of poets and

72
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:27,239
Asus and I felt sure an embodiment of

73
00:03:27,239 --> 00:03:30,159
intelligence and perception of intuition

74
00:03:30,159 --> 00:03:32,480

for a stranger and a foreigner at that

101
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,320
to have kept such a distinguished man

102
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:50,080

103
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:52,440

loose such cracks upon a humble Village

00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:02,839

which the blacksmith was to

263
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:31,120
the ground behind the Wicket was level

264
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:33,399

abruptly do they have a

00:16:39,639 --> 00:16:42,160
Bowa so that it was only during the last

268
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:44,120
three or four galvanic yards of his run

269
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:46,240
that the blacksmith who took a long run

270
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:48,240
was visible to the batsman or indeed to

the kinetic energy of a cannonball

00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:31,480
the next player presented a singular

302
00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:33,760
appearance there was a retiring modesty

303
00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:35,400
about him that made him conspicuous in

304
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:37,159
that Cricket 11 and there was a

305
00:21:37,159 --> 00:21:39,679
gentleness an almost finicky gentleness

306
00:21:39,679 --> 00:21:41,720
about his movements which hardly seemed

307
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:44,559

00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:51,320

the captain instructing his men to play

317
00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:17,320
a type of game that was demanded by the

00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:19,360
state of the team's fortunes and the

319
00:22:19,360 --> 00:22:21,159

00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:23,639
attacking the public school system oh it

454
00:33:23,639 --> 00:33:25,080
has its drawbacks of course like

455
00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:27,279
everything else but its advantages are

456
00:33:27,279 --> 00:33:29,279
so over whing the people who attack it

457
00:33:29,279 --> 00:33:32,240
are merely stamping themselves as

458
00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:34,440
