1
00:01:10,830 --> 00:01:17,530
that on a lonesome road doth walk in
fear and dread, and having once turned

2
00:01:17,530 --> 00:01:23,710
round walks on and turns no more his
head, because he knows a frightful

3
00:01:23,710 --> 00:01:27,090
fiend doth close behind him tread.

4
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:54,700
Tis a strange place, this limbo.

5
00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:00,520
Not a place yet, name it so.

6
00:02:04,100 --> 00:02:05,540
Sam, it's me, Gilman.

7
00:02:10,780 --> 00:02:13,200
Brought a little opium to steady your
nerves.

8
00:02:21,580 --> 00:02:22,880
Oh, I see you've had a little.

9
00:02:23,460 --> 00:02:24,500
More than a little.

10
00:02:25,540 --> 00:02:26,800
Well, you'll get no more today.

11
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:30,040
Perhaps you'd rather stay at home.

12
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:36,960
Let's not let William down.

13
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:40,760
That's the spirit.

14
00:02:45,140 --> 00:02:46,420
William! William!

15
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:48,500
Mr. Wordsworth, sir!

16
00:02:55,100 --> 00:02:57,760
Gentlemen, gentlemen, you are
unfortunate.

17
00:02:58,160 --> 00:02:59,160
The poet must prepare.

18
00:02:59,580 --> 00:03:05,380
Mr. Webber, have you heard from the
palace yet?

19
00:03:35,370 --> 00:03:36,650
I hear Coleridge is expected.

20
00:03:36,910 --> 00:03:38,450
Well, if he is expected, he won't show.

21
00:03:38,950 --> 00:03:41,230
Disappointing expectations is his stock
in trade.

22
00:03:44,430 --> 00:03:47,030
I've got to talk to him.

23
00:04:05,300 --> 00:04:11,700
Time, with branny hands, barren and
soundless as the measuring

24
00:04:11,700 --> 00:04:12,700
sands.

25
00:04:13,540 --> 00:04:15,040
Girls, let him be.

26
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:19,320
He's going to make an important speech,
not dance the mazurka.

27
00:04:20,540 --> 00:04:21,560
Come, sir.

28
00:04:23,700 --> 00:04:30,640
Not marked by flit of shades, unmeaning
they, as

29
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:34,380
moonlight on the dial of the day.

30
00:05:03,950 --> 00:05:05,810
Sir William is to be poet laureate.

31
00:05:06,210 --> 00:05:07,670
Who could have predicted such a thing?

32
00:05:08,190 --> 00:05:09,790
It is an honour he richly deserves.

33
00:05:10,570 --> 00:05:14,090
Indeed it is. He has done all that a man
needs to do to become laureate.

34
00:05:14,930 --> 00:05:17,810
Namely, to produce vast acres of
exquisite dullness.

35
00:05:19,030 --> 00:05:22,290
Did my ears deceive me, or did he really
say exquisite?

36
00:05:25,890 --> 00:05:27,030
Yeoman? Yeoman?

37
00:05:31,050 --> 00:05:32,270
Save me from the storm.

38
00:05:32,470 --> 00:05:33,470
I'm here, sir.

39
00:05:33,530 --> 00:05:34,530
I'm here.

40
00:05:38,290 --> 00:05:42,450
Sir, allow me to kiss the hand that
wrote the Mariner.

41
00:05:44,470 --> 00:05:45,470
Who is it?

42
00:05:45,590 --> 00:05:46,810
Lord Byron. What?

43
00:05:47,070 --> 00:05:48,070
He's a poet, Sam.

44
00:05:48,390 --> 00:05:49,390
An admirer.

45
00:05:51,050 --> 00:05:52,710
Do you have any laudanum about you?

46
00:05:53,870 --> 00:05:55,430
I have a touch of neuralgia.

47
00:05:57,530 --> 00:06:00,650
There is a poem of yours never yet
published but more talked about than

48
00:06:00,650 --> 00:06:01,650
half the poems that are.

49
00:06:03,470 --> 00:06:05,510
It describes the pleasure palace at
Kubla Khan.

50
00:06:06,970 --> 00:06:08,430
I would like to see it published.

51
00:06:08,990 --> 00:06:10,710
I could run to £100.

52
00:06:13,150 --> 00:06:14,150
£100?

53
00:06:14,350 --> 00:06:15,450
For Kubla Khan?

54
00:06:16,970 --> 00:06:19,050
Well, I couldn't.

55
00:06:19,730 --> 00:06:20,730
It's impossible.

56
00:06:21,990 --> 00:06:22,990
It's not finished.

57
00:06:24,050 --> 00:06:27,290
I would have paid Wordsworth twice that
sum for his last poem if only he'd left

58
00:06:27,290 --> 00:06:28,049
it unfinished.

59
00:06:28,050 --> 00:06:29,950
Kubla Khan was lost years ago.

60
00:06:31,180 --> 00:06:33,040
I was told it never leaves your person.

61
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:35,480
Is it not in the little pocket here?

62
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:38,520
Sam.

63
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:41,080
William!

64
00:06:44,020 --> 00:06:45,700
William, it's the most terrible thing.

65
00:06:46,180 --> 00:06:48,340
The opium has cut me loose from time.

66
00:06:49,100 --> 00:06:53,460
Sometimes moments seem to freeze and
seconds melt as slow as glaciers.

67
00:06:53,660 --> 00:06:57,540
Then suddenly I walk through a door and
ten years of my life have gone.

68
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:01,100
My mind is shipwrecked, blown by storms
of time.

69
00:07:01,820 --> 00:07:03,360
William, please help me.

70
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:08,860
William, shipwreck, shipwreck!

71
00:07:09,100 --> 00:07:10,100
Help me!

72
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:11,740
Send him away, he's incapable.

73
00:07:12,340 --> 00:07:14,400
He has broken a few glasses, that's all.

74
00:07:16,140 --> 00:07:18,080
What a bummer, a waste of clarity.

75
00:07:19,580 --> 00:07:20,580
Friends,

76
00:07:22,340 --> 00:07:24,980
this is Samuel Taylor Coleridge.

77
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:33,680
First mariner of the mines oceans
midwife of my own genius Come sir

78
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:39,960
Did you say pounds

79
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:46,940
or guineas guineas Yeah, I've not been
out of human's

80
00:07:46,940 --> 00:07:53,780
house Call it a moment's work and such
it seems

81
00:07:55,150 --> 00:07:58,650
This tale's a fragment from the life of
dreams.

82
00:07:59,850 --> 00:08:06,430
But say that years matured to silent
strife, And tis a record

83
00:08:06,430 --> 00:08:08,890
from the dream of life.

84
00:08:10,590 --> 00:08:14,770
A poet! And a tireless warrior in the
cause of liberty!

85
00:08:15,190 --> 00:08:17,190
Citizen Sam Coleridge!

86
00:08:17,810 --> 00:08:18,810
William!

87
00:08:21,570 --> 00:08:23,270
William! William!

88
00:08:24,910 --> 00:08:25,910
Come, citizen.

89
00:08:27,210 --> 00:08:28,510
The powder is ready.

90
00:08:28,850 --> 00:08:29,850
Light the fuse.

91
00:08:30,530 --> 00:08:31,010
This

92
00:08:31,010 --> 00:08:38,010
is the hour.

93
00:08:44,070 --> 00:08:45,070
I know the day.

94
00:08:47,130 --> 00:08:48,710
I seem to know this day.

95
00:08:51,470 --> 00:08:52,470
It's a day.

96
00:08:52,870 --> 00:08:54,350
Drunk with hope, is it not?

97
00:08:54,890 --> 00:08:59,830
The day when everything seems possible.

98
00:09:01,830 --> 00:09:04,510
France is still at liberty, is she not?

99
00:09:06,270 --> 00:09:07,690
Success to the French!

100
00:09:07,910 --> 00:09:11,770
She is, in fact, the very home of
liberty, is she not?

101
00:09:13,090 --> 00:09:17,950
And so to make war on France is to make
war on liberty itself.

102
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:25,960
of man this

103
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:32,940
government

104
00:09:32,940 --> 00:09:39,180
is an enemy of liberty here and in
France

105
00:09:39,180 --> 00:09:43,760
and in the slave plantations of the new
world

106
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:31,560
Because, look, over there is Mr Walsh.
Mr Walsh, he's a government spy.

107
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:38,860
Yes, and he takes down everything that
we say in his little notebook.

108
00:10:39,580 --> 00:10:43,660
So, if you have any grievances you want
to tell the state, you tell it to Mr

109
00:10:43,660 --> 00:10:48,140
Walsh over there, and he will tell it to
the Prime Minister tomorrow morning

110
00:10:48,140 --> 00:10:49,480
under the breakfast kippers.

111
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:01,240
Sit his hands!

112
00:11:02,700 --> 00:11:05,940
Soldiers, turn your arms on your fellow
men!

113
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:10,000
Mutiny!

114
00:11:12,980 --> 00:11:13,980
Sir!

115
00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:17,680
Quick, follow me!

116
00:11:18,420 --> 00:11:20,860
Come on, sir!

117
00:11:47,790 --> 00:11:48,790
Well done, citizen.

118
00:11:49,270 --> 00:11:51,070
An old trick I learnt in France.

119
00:12:07,890 --> 00:12:08,890
Shh.

120
00:12:12,950 --> 00:12:14,270
STC. Sim.

121
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:22,480
Here it is.

122
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:24,100
Our place of safety.

123
00:12:25,300 --> 00:12:26,300
Citizen, who's this?

124
00:12:26,540 --> 00:12:27,540
This is William.

125
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:29,620
Citizen William Wordsworth.

126
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:35,520
Hold the banner of coming insurrection.

127
00:12:43,500 --> 00:12:47,720
Citizen, we have all taken great pains
to keep the location of this press

128
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:48,720
secret.

129
00:12:49,300 --> 00:12:50,980
And I've never heard of Citizen William.

130
00:12:51,390 --> 00:12:52,590
He saved us from the troops.

131
00:12:53,850 --> 00:12:55,990
He was in France during the revolution.

132
00:12:56,290 --> 00:12:59,670
That means nothing. Queen Marie
Antoinette was in France during the

133
00:12:59,670 --> 00:13:01,010
revolution. Does that make her a
Democrat?

134
00:13:01,350 --> 00:13:02,750
No, but I am a Democrat.

135
00:13:03,730 --> 00:13:04,730
And a poet.

136
00:13:05,970 --> 00:13:08,450
And an admirer of the poems of Citizen
Coleridge.

137
00:13:10,010 --> 00:13:14,870
The Watchman.

138
00:13:16,590 --> 00:13:19,630
Sam, that is, Citizen Coleridge. He
chose the name.

139
00:13:20,190 --> 00:13:21,210
Such a good name.

140
00:13:21,610 --> 00:13:23,850
It's certainly Red Ragify the
Slumberous.

141
00:13:24,310 --> 00:13:25,310
Well, what?

142
00:13:25,930 --> 00:13:26,930
Red Ragify.

143
00:13:27,330 --> 00:13:28,330
Rouse up.

144
00:13:30,290 --> 00:13:35,050
See, the injustices of masculine society
have deprived me of vocabulary wealth by

145
00:13:35,050 --> 00:13:39,570
limiting my education, so therefore I
make up for it by inventing words of my

146
00:13:39,570 --> 00:13:40,570
own.

147
00:13:41,510 --> 00:13:45,590
Sam, I mean Citizen Coleridge, I can't
fold this, all right?

148
00:13:48,870 --> 00:13:49,870
No, that's right.

149
00:13:53,730 --> 00:13:54,730
Like that.

150
00:13:55,910 --> 00:13:56,910
Sam, these are ready.

151
00:13:58,830 --> 00:14:00,030
William, come here.

152
00:14:00,330 --> 00:14:01,330
Look at these.

153
00:14:02,570 --> 00:14:04,550
10,000 copies printed.

154
00:14:05,610 --> 00:14:06,630
10,000.

155
00:14:08,430 --> 00:14:09,750
Will you sell them all, do you think?

156
00:14:11,170 --> 00:14:14,450
Or might it not have been more prudent
to start with a smaller number and build

157
00:14:14,450 --> 00:14:15,450
up the circulation?

158
00:14:17,030 --> 00:14:20,690
Perhaps, but... How much better to start
with a large number and then build to a

159
00:14:20,690 --> 00:14:21,690
colossal one?

160
00:14:24,230 --> 00:14:28,170
The truth will fall and strike them like
heaven's lightning.

161
00:14:29,010 --> 00:14:30,010
Look.

162
00:14:31,750 --> 00:14:32,970
What keeps it up?

163
00:14:33,210 --> 00:14:36,770
Well, the gas is lighter than air, so if
you remove the ballast and the

164
00:14:36,770 --> 00:14:39,770
restraints, it will fly.

165
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:48,820
Gas, citizens, shall be the liberator of
mankind.

166
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:54,120
Gas can be used to perform the menial
and dangerous tasks now performed by

167
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:57,600
men. Gas to heat our houses, to power
our carriages.

168
00:14:58,140 --> 00:15:02,500
Imagine a system of pipes crisscrossing
the country down which letters can be

169
00:15:02,500 --> 00:15:04,300
sent propelled by gas.

170
00:15:04,580 --> 00:15:06,560
A gas for every occasion.

171
00:15:08,220 --> 00:15:09,320
Who will join me?

172
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:11,200
Sam, you're not going up in it, are you?

173
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:15,320
I've sent up a dog, a rabbit, and a foal
with no ill effects.

174
00:15:16,490 --> 00:15:19,710
Oh, Thelma, forbid him the great
stuposity. He'll make a carnage of

175
00:15:19,710 --> 00:15:21,470
himself. Are you ready, Sam?

176
00:15:21,690 --> 00:15:23,510
Ready, Mr. Davy. Gentlemen!

177
00:15:23,830 --> 00:15:25,490
Sam? The ropes, if you please.

178
00:15:25,850 --> 00:15:26,890
Davy, no. Sam!

179
00:15:27,230 --> 00:15:29,490
The truth shall set us free, citizens!

180
00:15:30,010 --> 00:15:31,010
Sam, no! Sam!

181
00:15:31,230 --> 00:15:32,270
Sam! Sam! Sam!

182
00:15:32,550 --> 00:15:33,550
Sarah!

183
00:16:38,860 --> 00:16:41,900
of a constitution is that it's like a
monk preaching fornication.

184
00:16:47,420 --> 00:16:48,940
Are you John Thelwar?

185
00:16:50,500 --> 00:16:54,920
Aye. Then, sir, you are my prisoner.

186
00:17:42,510 --> 00:17:44,610
STC. Sure he won't follow? Quite sure.

187
00:17:45,190 --> 00:17:47,330
Well, one thing is clear. Walsh is
frightened.

188
00:17:47,930 --> 00:17:48,869
Frightened of what?

189
00:17:48,870 --> 00:17:49,669
Why, of us.

190
00:17:49,670 --> 00:17:52,490
Burning books and presses, desperate
measures, death throes of a dying

191
00:17:52,490 --> 00:17:55,190
regime. Why should Walsh be frightened
of us?

192
00:17:55,730 --> 00:17:57,910
His troops, guns, horses.

193
00:17:58,570 --> 00:17:59,890
We have truth.

194
00:18:00,190 --> 00:18:02,650
Eternal, invincible, undeniable truth.

195
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:06,960
They may have physical might to crush
us, but we can invade and take

196
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:10,540
possession of the most precious
territory of all, the hearts and minds

197
00:18:10,540 --> 00:18:11,540
of men.

198
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:12,760
And women?

199
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:15,280
And women.

200
00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:19,820
This would be by selling them the
Watchmen?

201
00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:23,400
This would be by lighting a beacon that
would shine out to all the world.

202
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:28,680
I have in mind a scheme whereby we would
shun the cities and the manufactories

203
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:31,460
and return to a simple, ideal, rural
life.

204
00:18:32,430 --> 00:18:36,630
We could live together, holding all
things in common. We will have chickens

205
00:18:36,630 --> 00:18:41,830
and goats and apple trees, and we will
make poetry and... And babies.

206
00:18:44,730 --> 00:18:45,730
Well, shan't we?

207
00:18:49,010 --> 00:18:54,990
Well, I was describing a general
spiritual political movement, not my own

208
00:18:54,990 --> 00:18:56,130
personal preferences.

209
00:18:56,990 --> 00:19:00,030
And where will it be, this New Eden?

210
00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:08,980
where the climate is kind and warm.

211
00:19:11,220 --> 00:19:12,220
Come on.

212
00:19:12,620 --> 00:19:13,620
Come along.

213
00:19:14,460 --> 00:19:15,460
Come on.

214
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:17,620
Come on.

215
00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:22,760
Citizen, if we had have gone to America,
would it not have been more sunny?

216
00:19:23,580 --> 00:19:24,580
Possibly.

217
00:19:24,740 --> 00:19:28,680
But if we had taken land in America, we
would have been stealing it from its

218
00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:31,540
rightful owners, the Indians, and that's
unthinkable, citizen.

219
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:34,280
Oh, yes, unthinkable.

220
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:35,840
Although sunnier.

221
00:19:37,770 --> 00:19:39,010
Ah, you try.

222
00:19:40,330 --> 00:19:42,910
Don't put it down, you bitch, you
possity.

223
00:19:48,550 --> 00:19:52,270
We can't feed Citizen Pig on scraps
because there are no scraps to eat.

224
00:19:52,690 --> 00:19:55,310
We eat the scraps. There are only
scraps.

225
00:19:56,330 --> 00:19:57,330
I have a scheme.

226
00:19:59,850 --> 00:20:03,310
If I could sell a series of articles to
a right-thinking newspaper describing

227
00:20:03,310 --> 00:20:07,170
our life here, that would bring in extra
revenue and at the same time spread the

228
00:20:07,170 --> 00:20:10,510
joyful news of our victory over greed
and emptiness.

229
00:20:10,830 --> 00:20:12,370
What? What is it?

230
00:20:13,370 --> 00:20:15,590
What color am I mostly in this book?

231
00:20:16,470 --> 00:20:17,910
You're a weak citizen, baby.

232
00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:51,220
I see fingers painting on our window.

233
00:20:52,660 --> 00:20:53,500
The

234
00:20:53,500 --> 00:21:02,900
frost

235
00:21:02,900 --> 00:21:08,500
performed its secret ministry, unhelped
by any wind.

236
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:13,060
The owlet's cry came loud.

237
00:21:23,050 --> 00:21:29,370
was reared in the great city, pent mid
cloisters dim, and saw naught lovely but

238
00:21:29,370 --> 00:21:30,450
the sky and stars.

239
00:21:31,330 --> 00:21:37,990
But thou, my babe, shalt wander like a
breeze, by lakes and

240
00:21:37,990 --> 00:21:44,090
sandy shores, beneath the crags of
ancient mountain, and beneath the

241
00:21:44,090 --> 00:21:46,370
clouds. There's the moon.

242
00:21:48,250 --> 00:21:50,010
That's who painted our windows.

243
00:21:54,090 --> 00:21:55,290
He's painted your face.

244
00:21:58,070 --> 00:21:59,070
There's Venus.

245
00:22:01,610 --> 00:22:04,370
And over there, that's Mars.

246
00:22:06,470 --> 00:22:07,470
Sam?

247
00:22:08,530 --> 00:22:10,110
What are you doing out here?

248
00:22:10,650 --> 00:22:13,290
Sarah? Hartley will freeze to death.

249
00:22:14,430 --> 00:22:16,750
Come to bed. You look exasperated.

250
00:22:24,110 --> 00:22:26,970
This is the most wonderful time of my
life.

251
00:22:29,150 --> 00:22:32,510
I wish it was always now and here.

252
00:22:34,310 --> 00:22:35,670
Best so far, maybe.

253
00:22:36,330 --> 00:22:39,330
But there should be better times to
come. No, no, no.

254
00:22:40,550 --> 00:22:41,690
This is the best.

255
00:22:51,210 --> 00:22:53,690
one day we'll have a cottage with a
fireplace that works.

256
00:23:03,990 --> 00:23:10,670
Tis calm indeed, so calm that it

257
00:23:10,670 --> 00:23:16,670
disturbs and vexes meditation with its
strange and extreme silentness.

258
00:23:23,660 --> 00:23:30,500
village sea and hill and wood with all
the numberless goings-on of life

259
00:23:30,500 --> 00:23:33,540
inaudible as dreams

260
00:23:59,330 --> 00:24:00,830
Getting warmer?

261
00:24:05,730 --> 00:24:06,730
Warmer?

262
00:24:14,270 --> 00:24:15,270
Therefore,

263
00:24:16,070 --> 00:24:22,110
all seasons shall be sweet to thee,
whether the summer clothe the general

264
00:24:22,110 --> 00:24:25,270
earth with greenness or the red breast
sit.

265
00:24:25,470 --> 00:24:31,130
and sing betwixt the tufts of snow on
the bare branch, or if the secret

266
00:24:31,130 --> 00:24:38,010
ministry of frost shall hang them up in
silent icicles, quietly shining

267
00:24:38,010 --> 00:24:39,770
to the quiet moon.

268
00:24:44,050 --> 00:24:49,350
If we put him in his own little kingdom,
then he can be the king.

269
00:24:50,390 --> 00:24:52,910
Help me lift it up.

270
00:25:01,070 --> 00:25:02,150
You put the newt inside.

271
00:25:06,430 --> 00:25:09,470
And there, he's the king of his own
little world.

272
00:25:11,150 --> 00:25:12,630
Them! Strangers!

273
00:25:13,770 --> 00:25:14,770
Strangers!

274
00:25:15,610 --> 00:25:18,550
There's two strangers in Asholt this
morning.

275
00:25:18,750 --> 00:25:20,010
They're asking after you.

276
00:25:24,290 --> 00:25:25,350
The right man.

277
00:25:26,390 --> 00:25:28,250
You promised me you'd burn this.

278
00:25:28,810 --> 00:25:30,130
Do their filthy job for them.

279
00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:57,200
Oh,

280
00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:02,220
I was told you were very fine-looking.

281
00:26:02,420 --> 00:26:03,480
Indeed, you're quite plain.

282
00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:04,720
Too pale.

283
00:26:05,420 --> 00:26:06,900
Too scrawny.

284
00:26:09,130 --> 00:26:11,910
Still, I will try to see beyond such
things, for my brother's sake.

285
00:26:13,330 --> 00:26:14,330
Your brother?

286
00:26:15,410 --> 00:26:16,570
Oh, the cot!

287
00:26:17,290 --> 00:26:20,330
Is this the very one from Frost at
Midnight?

288
00:26:20,770 --> 00:26:21,950
You know my poems?

289
00:26:22,270 --> 00:26:27,130
My brother thinks them brilliant,
prophetic even. I find them narrowly

290
00:26:27,130 --> 00:26:29,050
domestic and lacking in ambition.

291
00:26:30,010 --> 00:26:31,330
Do you? Sam!

292
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:40,400
Oh, it's good to see you. I came as soon
as I could.

293
00:26:41,020 --> 00:26:45,900
I read about this rural utopia of yours.
It was a revelation to me.

294
00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:47,600
You're the brother?

295
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:49,100
This is your sister?

296
00:26:49,360 --> 00:26:51,280
Yes, indeed. This is Dorothy.

297
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:53,760
Dorothy. Dorothy.

298
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:57,160
Ah, yes. This is Samuel Taylor
Coleridge.

299
00:26:59,060 --> 00:27:02,000
So... Are the others here?

300
00:27:02,740 --> 00:27:04,200
Davy, Thelwell, Southie?

301
00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:06,500
Well, no, not yet.

302
00:27:07,060 --> 00:27:08,760
Thelwell... as you know, is still in
prison.

303
00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:13,280
So far, it's Sarah, myself, and the
baby.

304
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:17,640
But now you're here, and that's what
matters.

305
00:27:20,180 --> 00:27:21,180
Sarah.

306
00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:22,840
Come with me.

307
00:27:30,300 --> 00:27:34,620
Here is the garden, where flowers and
food grow side by side.

308
00:27:35,060 --> 00:27:38,230
Spiritual... and physical sustenance
interpollinating.

309
00:27:38,490 --> 00:27:39,490
It's full of weeds.

310
00:27:40,630 --> 00:27:44,470
Well, yes, the weeds have taken the
liberty to grow. Well, it would be

311
00:27:44,470 --> 00:27:47,090
unfair to prejudice the soil towards
roses and strawberries.

312
00:27:48,030 --> 00:27:49,490
Even his gardening is ambitious.

313
00:27:50,150 --> 00:27:51,930
He is building a second Eden.

314
00:27:52,170 --> 00:27:55,890
We're up at five to work in the garden.
Then I feed the pig and the hens. This

315
00:27:55,890 --> 00:27:57,750
is not prophecy.

316
00:27:58,770 --> 00:28:00,510
This is market gardening.

317
00:28:02,690 --> 00:28:04,030
I am sorry, Sam.

318
00:28:04,430 --> 00:28:05,430
She's so...

319
00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:07,400
No, she's right.

320
00:28:08,380 --> 00:28:09,380
What's through here?

321
00:28:11,260 --> 00:28:12,380
She's extraordinary.

322
00:28:16,380 --> 00:28:19,280
This is the home of my dearest friend.

323
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:20,720
Fellow poet?

324
00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:23,420
Well, no, he's a tanner.

325
00:28:23,700 --> 00:28:24,700
He makes leather.

326
00:28:25,380 --> 00:28:27,280
But in his way, the greatest of men.

327
00:28:27,860 --> 00:28:28,940
Tom, all's well?

328
00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:41,600
Tom Poole, my neighbour and protector,
Sarah, my wife, and little Hartley.

329
00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:43,600
Never was a more joyous creature born.

330
00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:48,280
Very pretty.

331
00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:52,000
Oh, a library.

332
00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:55,900
Oh, yes, it's Poole's library that makes
it possible for me to stay here and work

333
00:28:55,900 --> 00:28:56,859
in Stowey.

334
00:28:56,860 --> 00:28:58,880
He bankrupted himself in the making of
it.

335
00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:01,420
Oh, no, no, these books are my wealth.

336
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:03,920
I'll not be accounted poor while I have
them.

337
00:29:07,020 --> 00:29:09,260
Look, Dorothy, here's Sam's volume.

338
00:29:10,700 --> 00:29:12,580
Poems by S.T. Coleridge.

339
00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:16,120
It's very handsome.

340
00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:18,940
I like this colour.

341
00:29:19,900 --> 00:29:21,160
I like the lettering.

342
00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:24,140
I see you found Sam's volume.

343
00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:27,900
Is it not a handsome and posterifying
binding?

344
00:29:28,220 --> 00:29:31,120
It is over-decorated. Even William
thinks so.

345
00:29:31,620 --> 00:29:35,680
Some have said there's too much spent on
the cover, but wait and see.

346
00:29:36,460 --> 00:29:39,340
Sam will prove our finest poet since
Milton.

347
00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:42,360
I was talking not about the cover, but
about the verses within.

348
00:29:42,980 --> 00:29:43,980
Some verse?

349
00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:48,040
There is power there, but it is buried
in frills and flounces.

350
00:29:48,620 --> 00:29:52,980
These poems are about our life and our
child and our little cottage.

351
00:29:53,380 --> 00:29:58,060
Exactly. The new Milton should aspire to
some more terrific theme, not

352
00:29:58,060 --> 00:30:00,160
domesticity. We need epic.

353
00:30:00,660 --> 00:30:03,800
We need an epic of nature in the
language of liberty.

354
00:30:04,650 --> 00:30:06,070
The language of liberty.

355
00:30:07,010 --> 00:30:08,250
What is she talking about?

356
00:30:08,530 --> 00:30:12,530
Why should not poetry be simple too,
plain like the food we eat so that any

357
00:30:12,530 --> 00:30:14,630
man, the simplest, might understand it?

358
00:30:15,090 --> 00:30:16,510
Would not that be democratic?

359
00:30:16,970 --> 00:30:18,750
We will create a new poetry, William.

360
00:30:19,030 --> 00:30:21,770
Something that's never even been seen
before.

361
00:30:23,090 --> 00:30:26,910
By God, William and I will do some great
work in this library of yours, Tom

362
00:30:26,910 --> 00:30:28,730
Poole. No, not here.

363
00:30:29,110 --> 00:30:32,170
You cannot find truth by looking it up
in a book.

364
00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:37,080
You must follow it up the hill track to
the high and lonely places.

365
00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:42,180
The high and lonely places. That is
marvellous. We will make poetry out of

366
00:30:42,180 --> 00:30:47,660
our sense of taste and smell and hearing
and sight, not from our memory.

367
00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:51,280
If I had the means to hand, I would pulp
these volumes now.

368
00:30:51,820 --> 00:30:56,720
Please, don't excite Sam. His mind is
very volatile. No, poetry cannot be

369
00:30:56,720 --> 00:31:00,140
written at a desk among the dead leaves
of a library.

370
00:31:00,860 --> 00:31:04,800
It should be warped into birth, to the
rhythm of tramping feet and ringing

371
00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:05,800
stones.

372
00:31:07,740 --> 00:31:08,740
Goodbye, then.

373
00:31:08,980 --> 00:31:10,040
I'll make a picnic.

374
00:31:21,100 --> 00:31:22,640
Look, there's even soup, Dorothy.

375
00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:24,640
This is wonderful, Sarah.

376
00:31:25,300 --> 00:31:26,300
Smells good.

377
00:31:27,220 --> 00:31:29,460
Mmm, it's a rich and wholesome smell.

378
00:31:30,030 --> 00:31:32,470
We made this from something that was
growing in the garden.

379
00:31:32,870 --> 00:31:33,870
Thorn apple.

380
00:31:33,890 --> 00:31:36,610
It has very interesting qualities.

381
00:31:36,970 --> 00:31:38,430
Though the taste be somewhat bitter.

382
00:31:39,150 --> 00:31:40,430
Doesn't taste bitter to me.

383
00:31:41,570 --> 00:31:43,250
But then I have no sense of taste.

384
00:31:44,270 --> 00:31:45,450
No, surely not.

385
00:31:45,650 --> 00:31:46,710
What? You can't taste anything?

386
00:31:47,470 --> 00:31:48,470
Mm-mm.

387
00:31:49,150 --> 00:31:50,590
Sorry, not taking your soup.

388
00:31:52,150 --> 00:31:54,370
Thank you, no. I've tried it once
before.

389
00:31:56,310 --> 00:31:57,310
Eggs.

390
00:31:57,670 --> 00:31:58,930
I can taste eggs.

391
00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:03,240
But that may just be the texture.

392
00:32:10,100 --> 00:32:12,320
Well, it's not an egg.

393
00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:14,040
I have no idea.

394
00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:17,180
Milky, if you chew it.

395
00:32:19,260 --> 00:32:20,620
Well, what does milk taste like?

396
00:32:24,620 --> 00:32:25,539
Caterpillar, William.

397
00:32:25,540 --> 00:32:26,960
What? Would you like to try a
caterpillar?

398
00:32:29,260 --> 00:32:30,540
Eyebrows. A pair of eyebrows.

399
00:32:51,750 --> 00:32:53,370
Oh my god!

400
00:32:53,950 --> 00:32:55,630
What's happening to me?

401
00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:01,940
I think William is about to discover the
properties of Thorna.

402
00:34:08,420 --> 00:34:09,920
Nobody's with but one soul.

403
00:34:10,739 --> 00:34:13,600
Together we shall turn the world the
right way up.

404
00:34:17,860 --> 00:34:18,860
Sam!

405
00:34:19,980 --> 00:34:20,980
Sam!

406
00:34:21,940 --> 00:34:24,460
I can't carry Hartley on the hamper.

407
00:34:28,580 --> 00:34:32,000
I'm sure she would make the perfect wife
for someone, only not for him.

408
00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:37,580
He's like a marvellous bird tethered to
a huge sea anchor.

409
00:34:39,179 --> 00:34:43,219
right when he has to answer to her every
call and yet he writes about a

410
00:34:43,219 --> 00:34:47,139
wonderfully well the poem about the
frost and the baby no one has written so

411
00:34:47,139 --> 00:34:53,300
intimately before it's nothing
beautifully expressed but really a baby

412
00:34:53,300 --> 00:34:56,880
cries in the night the father comes down
to comfort it anyone can experience such

413
00:34:56,880 --> 00:35:03,440
things we never did the soul does not
live by nursing babies

414
00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:05,160
but surely it does

415
00:35:05,930 --> 00:35:09,870
And Mrs Coleridge, does she not strike
you as the poetic embodiment of the very

416
00:35:09,870 --> 00:35:10,870
idea of woman?

417
00:35:11,650 --> 00:35:16,730
Why? Because her breasts are dripping
milk all day. Because that mewling

418
00:35:16,730 --> 00:35:18,310
infant is always at her hip.

419
00:35:19,310 --> 00:35:24,510
Must a woman be like a farmyard animal?
Can she have no ambition, no

420
00:35:24,510 --> 00:35:27,130
intelligence, no organic sensibility?

421
00:35:32,850 --> 00:35:35,090
We will light a candle in this window.

422
00:35:35,580 --> 00:35:41,180
which shall shine out to a far distance,
sending its echoes back from the future.

423
00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:45,820
How long are they staying?

424
00:35:47,620 --> 00:35:48,620
Don't know.

425
00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:54,980
I love your poem about the project, Sam.

426
00:35:56,520 --> 00:35:57,640
I know you do.

427
00:36:05,390 --> 00:36:07,510
You're not really going to pulp those
volumes, are you?

428
00:36:10,430 --> 00:36:11,830
No, of course not.

429
00:36:20,870 --> 00:36:27,050
Is this it?

430
00:36:28,610 --> 00:36:31,110
It was so clever of you and Mr Poole to
find it.

431
00:36:31,850 --> 00:36:34,190
Here we'll live in honest simplicity.

432
00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:38,180
We could all live in honest simplicity
if we had palaces to do with him.

433
00:36:43,140 --> 00:36:46,140
Davy sent this to welcome you to your
new home.

434
00:36:47,220 --> 00:36:48,620
We should give it a fair trial.

435
00:36:49,180 --> 00:36:54,220
I believe that you turn the tap and then
breathe and inhale.

436
00:36:55,480 --> 00:36:58,520
I'm not so sure, Sam. It could be
something dangerous or unhealthy.

437
00:36:59,060 --> 00:37:00,060
We must try everything.

438
00:37:02,040 --> 00:37:03,040
No, Dorothy.

439
00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:06,260
Let me first, for safety's sake.

440
00:37:13,780 --> 00:37:19,200
I feel no change.

441
00:37:20,260 --> 00:37:22,760
Perhaps you have to wait for it to reach
the brain.

442
00:37:26,360 --> 00:37:27,360
No, no different.

443
00:37:33,770 --> 00:37:34,669
Of course it will.

444
00:37:34,670 --> 00:37:37,050
William, do some poetry. Some Milton.

445
00:37:37,270 --> 00:37:38,009
Do some Milton.

446
00:37:38,010 --> 00:37:39,010
I will not.

447
00:37:41,470 --> 00:37:42,470
Then I will.

448
00:37:46,210 --> 00:37:51,450
Nor did he escape by all intentions, but
was headlong sent with industrious crew

449
00:37:51,450 --> 00:37:57,630
to build in hell at Pandemonium by
capital of Satan and his peers.

450
00:38:06,799 --> 00:38:07,799
Wordsworth, is it?

451
00:38:08,080 --> 00:38:09,080
How do you do?

452
00:38:09,500 --> 00:38:12,740
I'm Holland, the past to hear about. I'm
glad to meet you.

453
00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:17,280
It's a friendly enough place. The men
here are stout and true and ready to

454
00:38:17,280 --> 00:38:19,700
give their last breath should the damned
French invade.

455
00:38:21,040 --> 00:38:22,040
Do you hunt, Wordsworth?

456
00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:26,280
Pity.

457
00:38:27,060 --> 00:38:31,520
Oh, Coleridge, I... I didn't know you
knew our new tenant.

458
00:38:32,100 --> 00:38:33,560
William and Sam are old friends.

459
00:38:35,240 --> 00:38:36,098
Is that so?

460
00:38:36,100 --> 00:38:38,580
Well, I... I bid you farewell.

461
00:38:38,960 --> 00:38:40,860
Goodbye. Very nice to meet you.

462
00:38:41,220 --> 00:38:42,440
Goodbye, Mrs Wordsworth.

463
00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:44,840
Oh, it's Miss, not Mrs.

464
00:38:45,140 --> 00:38:46,860
William and I are brother and sister.

465
00:39:07,310 --> 00:39:09,490
You notice anything strange, Amelia?

466
00:39:10,030 --> 00:39:11,550
Was it their voices, Father?

467
00:39:11,830 --> 00:39:12,890
Their voices, exactly.

468
00:39:13,830 --> 00:39:16,250
Unusual voices. Now, what do you think?
Do you think they could be foreign?

469
00:39:16,790 --> 00:39:17,790
French, even.

470
00:39:18,290 --> 00:39:21,110
The Dark Lady was not wearing any shoes,
Father.

471
00:39:21,430 --> 00:39:23,030
No shoes, funny voices.

472
00:39:24,270 --> 00:39:25,410
They must be French.

473
00:39:29,930 --> 00:39:31,270
And, Sam, what about the beginning?

474
00:39:32,190 --> 00:39:33,910
We'll follow the course of the river.

475
00:39:34,270 --> 00:39:35,810
From the first mountain...

476
00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:40,020
Springing over the barren moorland.
Scared of the first shepherd's cut.

477
00:39:40,380 --> 00:39:44,960
Leaping over cataracts and torrents.
Down into fertile valleys. Winding

478
00:39:44,960 --> 00:39:46,240
through the towns and farms.

479
00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:48,160
And out to sea.

480
00:39:55,400 --> 00:39:56,400
It's all right, William.

481
00:39:57,000 --> 00:39:58,000
You go on.

482
00:39:58,620 --> 00:39:59,620
You sure?

483
00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:01,040
Yes, I'm sure.

484
00:40:23,250 --> 00:40:24,670
Dorothy, come here and listen.

485
00:40:36,990 --> 00:40:37,990
What is it?

486
00:40:42,790 --> 00:40:43,990
It's an underground waterfall.

487
00:40:45,170 --> 00:40:48,330
Not a hundred feet below us, yet no
human eye has ever seen it.

488
00:40:51,880 --> 00:40:57,040
I heard it first as a boy, and I
imagined underground caverns and sunless

489
00:40:57,040 --> 00:40:58,040
seas.

490
00:40:59,260 --> 00:41:02,180
In fact, the stream emerges just below
that bush down there.

491
00:41:02,740 --> 00:41:04,620
Let's listen.

492
00:41:09,840 --> 00:41:11,000
I see it.

493
00:41:12,660 --> 00:41:13,660
What?

494
00:41:14,980 --> 00:41:15,980
William's right.

495
00:41:21,190 --> 00:41:22,210
A voice like honey.

496
00:41:23,550 --> 00:41:30,230
The animation of your face like... Like
cloud shadows chased

497
00:41:30,230 --> 00:41:31,870
across bright fells.

498
00:41:33,470 --> 00:41:36,570
Your skin is not too pale at all, but...

499
00:42:04,850 --> 00:42:05,850
You've missed the way.

500
00:42:06,590 --> 00:42:08,950
The source of the river is down there,
just below that bush.

501
00:42:10,970 --> 00:42:11,970
Come along, Dorothy.

502
00:42:14,750 --> 00:42:16,550
We'll observe the river on its own
terms.

503
00:42:17,170 --> 00:42:20,430
Drink from it, listen to it, measure its
speed.

504
00:42:26,710 --> 00:42:27,710
12, 13,

505
00:42:28,350 --> 00:42:30,910
13, 14.

506
00:42:31,270 --> 00:42:32,410
Why do you cling to him so?

507
00:42:32,750 --> 00:42:33,750
Cling to?

508
00:42:35,470 --> 00:42:36,470
To our friend.

509
00:42:38,130 --> 00:42:39,990
Because he is a great spirit.

510
00:42:41,170 --> 00:42:43,370
Because I am. You're a great
distraction.

511
00:42:44,030 --> 00:42:45,750
As if you were not distracted enough.

512
00:42:47,670 --> 00:42:49,830
We came here to write poetry.

513
00:42:50,090 --> 00:42:53,270
To ignite a revolution of the mind, not
to canoodle on a hillock.

514
00:42:54,190 --> 00:42:55,190
Canoodle.

515
00:42:56,330 --> 00:42:57,950
Now, look, I've lost count.

516
00:42:58,990 --> 00:43:00,090
What are they at now?

517
00:43:02,310 --> 00:43:03,350
Writing poetry.

518
00:43:04,620 --> 00:43:05,820
He's measuring something.

519
00:43:06,560 --> 00:43:09,620
They're compiling some sort of map to
assist the enemy.

520
00:43:13,260 --> 00:43:16,720
I shall write to the government.

521
00:43:18,300 --> 00:43:20,460
They should send a man down here to keep
an eye on them.

522
00:43:54,440 --> 00:43:57,080
There's a gentleman outside who insists
he knows you.

523
00:44:25,450 --> 00:44:26,910
The handshaking day has ended in the
tower.

524
00:45:13,800 --> 00:45:16,400
You have grown such pleasing huge
breasts, Sarah.

525
00:45:23,660 --> 00:45:25,380
You ought not to say such things.

526
00:45:25,820 --> 00:45:26,819
Well, it's nature.

527
00:45:26,820 --> 00:45:27,920
We're all for nature, are we not?

528
00:45:33,880 --> 00:45:36,200
It's the breastfeeding. Makes them swell
up.

529
00:45:37,240 --> 00:45:38,680
Toast, then, to breastfeeding.

530
00:45:39,900 --> 00:45:40,900
Breastfeeding.

531
00:45:41,740 --> 00:45:42,800
Breastfeeding. Breastfeeding.

532
00:45:48,170 --> 00:45:49,170
working on a book together.

533
00:45:49,410 --> 00:45:51,970
Well, William and Sam are working on a
book together.

534
00:45:53,810 --> 00:45:58,550
Al, do you write one line and he the
next, or what?

535
00:45:59,050 --> 00:46:00,590
We've just begun to write yet.

536
00:46:02,130 --> 00:46:04,150
We're still gathering material.

537
00:46:05,270 --> 00:46:08,670
The poetry will be simple. It should
appear almost not written at all, but

538
00:46:08,670 --> 00:46:10,010
discovered.

539
00:46:11,910 --> 00:46:13,090
Like Davy's gases.

540
00:46:14,830 --> 00:46:16,870
And when we publish, it should be
anonymously.

541
00:46:19,340 --> 00:46:20,340
I wasn't aware.

542
00:46:21,400 --> 00:46:22,680
I've only just thought of it.

543
00:46:24,100 --> 00:46:28,560
They should walk away from the poet, out
into the world an orphan, adopted by

544
00:46:28,560 --> 00:46:29,660
every heart that hears it.

545
00:46:30,280 --> 00:46:32,960
But surely Sam is famous. His name would
bring in readers.

546
00:46:34,420 --> 00:46:36,000
No, this is brilliant.

547
00:46:36,580 --> 00:46:40,240
Anonymous. Like Homer. Like the hills
and clouds themselves.

548
00:46:42,860 --> 00:46:44,720
So none of Anonymous doesn't collect the
fee?

549
00:46:54,410 --> 00:46:58,410
Citizen, is it not craven to be sitting
here in the second best dining room

550
00:46:58,410 --> 00:47:01,550
whilst in our midst it's one of the
great revolutionaries, a man who has

551
00:47:01,550 --> 00:47:06,250
been kept in a tower with murderers and
villains without books or light or

552
00:47:06,250 --> 00:47:11,270
exercise and without reason. I propose
that we invade the best dining room.

553
00:47:12,410 --> 00:47:13,450
Jones, the keys.

554
00:47:14,210 --> 00:47:15,590
I don't know, sir.

555
00:47:15,810 --> 00:47:17,430
The keys or the guillotine, Jones.

556
00:47:18,650 --> 00:47:22,130
Well, I'm not sure the terms of the
lease are quite stringent.

557
00:47:24,300 --> 00:47:25,300
Revolution, William.

558
00:47:25,920 --> 00:47:27,860
Revolution in Al Foxton. Come along.

559
00:47:29,320 --> 00:47:30,320
Follow me.

560
00:47:34,340 --> 00:47:35,780
Serenade the planks. And the bottles.

561
00:47:36,020 --> 00:47:37,020
Don't forget the bottles.

562
00:47:37,360 --> 00:47:38,540
Storm the table in it.

563
00:47:39,800 --> 00:47:40,820
Liberate the pottery.

564
00:47:41,820 --> 00:47:44,720
Untrain the wine cellar. Free the oil
paintings.

565
00:47:46,040 --> 00:47:48,160
Welcome to the revolution, Senator
Jones.

566
00:47:48,780 --> 00:47:52,240
There shall be no servant and no master
at Al Foxton.

567
00:48:13,380 --> 00:48:17,600
Dorothy, I... I... You go first.

568
00:48:17,840 --> 00:48:19,420
No, you. No, I will.

569
00:48:20,720 --> 00:48:22,660
I have strong feelings for you.

570
00:48:23,680 --> 00:48:26,420
The most strong and tender feelings.

571
00:48:28,440 --> 00:48:30,360
ever be expressed in the realm of
poetry.

572
00:48:30,980 --> 00:48:35,780
I cannot do anything that would unsettle
your great enterprise, your gift.

573
00:48:36,600 --> 00:48:39,660
Our caresses must only be an
imagination.

574
00:48:41,340 --> 00:48:48,300
Dorothy. I care not that she has your
body, your love,

575
00:48:48,360 --> 00:48:54,620
your children, so that I have your
secret soaring soul.

576
00:48:56,020 --> 00:49:01,110
She may keep your... Walking, so that I
have your flying.

577
00:49:15,570 --> 00:49:22,150
Material for your... Material for your
poems. I've thought of some.

578
00:49:22,930 --> 00:49:25,990
A friend of Davy's.

579
00:49:26,560 --> 00:49:28,160
Lives near here. Goes by the name of
Cross.

580
00:49:29,000 --> 00:49:30,000
Experiments with electricity.

581
00:49:31,760 --> 00:49:33,020
There's got to be a poem in that.

582
00:49:35,760 --> 00:49:36,760
What do you think?

583
00:49:37,480 --> 00:49:38,480
Yes!

584
00:49:39,280 --> 00:49:40,280
Brilliant.

585
00:50:02,830 --> 00:50:04,530
Did you make this lightning, Mr. Cross?

586
00:50:05,210 --> 00:50:10,270
The atmospheric power of the storm is
conducted by these wires into the higher

587
00:50:10,270 --> 00:50:12,630
sphere, where it is held and
concentrated.

588
00:50:12,970 --> 00:50:17,570
And then the lower sphere attracts that
power and calls it forth as indoor

589
00:50:17,570 --> 00:50:21,050
lightning. But this is the very image of
ourselves.

590
00:50:21,850 --> 00:50:26,130
Sam is the electricity, a force of
nature waiting to be tapped.

591
00:50:26,610 --> 00:50:28,410
And William is the sheet anchor.

592
00:50:28,830 --> 00:50:33,790
grounding us to the earth. And Dorothy
is like the spheres, bringing us both

593
00:50:33,790 --> 00:50:37,630
together and then holding us in balance
until that moment of inspiration.

594
00:50:38,990 --> 00:50:40,010
What about me?

595
00:50:41,810 --> 00:50:45,790
Well, you are the sturdy table on which
we all rest.

596
00:50:47,730 --> 00:50:48,930
I don't like it.

597
00:50:49,570 --> 00:50:51,110
Speak more flatteringly, citizen.

598
00:50:52,770 --> 00:50:55,550
Well, the table has good legs. So do
you.

599
00:51:05,740 --> 00:51:09,360
Over here, we have something truly,
truly astonishing.

600
00:51:11,280 --> 00:51:15,020
Have the answer to the mystery of life
itself.

601
00:51:16,680 --> 00:51:19,060
They lie in bed till noon almost.

602
00:51:19,880 --> 00:51:23,740
That's a Frenchy way, isn't it, Mr.
Walsh? Wordsworth was in France.

603
00:51:24,720 --> 00:51:26,940
Reverend Holland did right to send for
me, Jones.

604
00:51:27,940 --> 00:51:30,080
There's Mrs. Coleridge now, look.
Running out.

605
00:51:30,780 --> 00:51:31,780
Sarah!

606
00:51:32,620 --> 00:51:33,940
And good God.

607
00:51:34,600 --> 00:51:35,660
That is Thelwall.

608
00:51:36,000 --> 00:51:37,880
There's some scheme afoot, I'm sure.

609
00:51:38,580 --> 00:51:43,160
I believe that electricity is the
original power, the spark that lit

610
00:51:43,160 --> 00:51:46,480
creation's flame. And I believe that I
can now offer proof of this.

611
00:51:47,040 --> 00:51:51,720
In there, we have a solution of flint
and potassium carbonate, through which I

612
00:51:51,720 --> 00:51:54,180
have been passing up a current over a
period of time.

613
00:51:54,440 --> 00:51:57,020
I was hoping to find silicon crystals.

614
00:51:57,480 --> 00:51:59,760
Instead, I found these.

615
00:52:01,680 --> 00:52:03,080
I repeated the experiment.

616
00:52:03,390 --> 00:52:04,390
with the same result.

617
00:52:05,690 --> 00:52:07,770
It is a species of might.

618
00:52:08,730 --> 00:52:11,810
It is not a species that has been
previously recorded.

619
00:52:12,290 --> 00:52:14,050
Are you saying it is a new creation?

620
00:52:14,850 --> 00:52:17,490
There was no life. Then there was life.

621
00:52:19,370 --> 00:52:22,770
This must be the most astounding
discovery of all time.

622
00:52:27,510 --> 00:52:30,850
I feel as though we've been present at
the unveiling of a great mystery.

623
00:52:31,480 --> 00:52:35,240
An unshakable bond must have been forged
between all of us. It's only a cheese

624
00:52:35,240 --> 00:52:39,840
mite. It's not as if he created a fully
grown doctor of philosophy or a

625
00:52:39,840 --> 00:52:41,140
strapping great plow boy.

626
00:52:41,360 --> 00:52:45,400
It's beside the point. He's created life
from nothing. He's taken the place of

627
00:52:45,400 --> 00:52:47,000
God. There are very likely eggs in the
solution.

628
00:52:47,480 --> 00:52:51,060
Twice! The eggs may have fallen into the
solution from across his hair. He's not

629
00:52:51,060 --> 00:52:54,020
the cleanest man I've ever met. He may
well have developed his own species of

630
00:52:54,020 --> 00:52:56,480
parasite. You're deta... not to believe.

631
00:52:56,760 --> 00:53:00,080
I've seen new life. I was there when our
child was born. It's not a question of

632
00:53:00,080 --> 00:53:01,080
nits in water.

633
00:53:03,220 --> 00:53:05,060
You'll understand when your time comes,
Dorothy.

634
00:53:16,780 --> 00:53:19,080
I wish you hadn't said that, Sam.

635
00:53:39,460 --> 00:53:40,780
Goodnight. You're

636
00:53:40,780 --> 00:53:47,740
back earlier than expected.

637
00:53:55,880 --> 00:53:56,880
Yes, I'm back.

638
00:54:17,560 --> 00:54:18,560
Sam!

639
00:54:20,340 --> 00:54:21,340
Look!

640
00:54:22,080 --> 00:54:24,260
I found a phallus impudicus!

641
00:54:29,750 --> 00:54:31,670
Wordsworth. He doesn't say very much,
does he?

642
00:54:33,990 --> 00:54:35,110
He'll surprise us all.

643
00:54:35,670 --> 00:54:36,670
You'll see.

644
00:54:37,510 --> 00:54:38,510
Sam.

645
00:54:45,410 --> 00:54:46,410
He will have to go.

646
00:54:47,950 --> 00:54:48,950
What? Why?

647
00:54:49,990 --> 00:54:51,130
We are being spied upon.

648
00:54:51,790 --> 00:54:53,130
Walsh is here. I've seen him.

649
00:54:54,010 --> 00:54:55,010
Thelwell is the reason.

650
00:54:56,680 --> 00:54:57,680
He will have to go.

651
00:54:58,200 --> 00:54:59,200
Go?

652
00:54:59,480 --> 00:55:04,240
Go where? He has nowhere to go. His
presence compromises our project. How?

653
00:55:06,180 --> 00:55:07,700
The world has changed, Sam.

654
00:55:08,840 --> 00:55:11,580
We are making new poetry for a new
world.

655
00:55:12,740 --> 00:55:15,600
Thelwell's old politics cling like
barnacles to our new ship.

656
00:55:18,080 --> 00:55:19,940
I think it would be best if you were to
ask him.

657
00:55:21,740 --> 00:55:23,820
I ask him? Well, he's your guest.

658
00:55:29,550 --> 00:55:31,730
then there is no point in my staying
here any longer.

659
00:55:42,370 --> 00:55:46,570
I wish you and William luck with your
book.

660
00:56:02,190 --> 00:56:03,350
I hope it's a great book.

661
00:56:27,510 --> 00:56:29,930
Your presence was distracting to
William.

662
00:56:36,200 --> 00:56:37,200
Protecting from what?

663
00:56:41,760 --> 00:56:43,080
William has done nothing.

664
00:56:44,720 --> 00:56:45,720
Said nothing.

665
00:56:48,700 --> 00:56:53,120
The gatepost would be more companion-ish
and inspirationary. It helps me to think

666
00:56:53,120 --> 00:56:55,380
his mind runs clear and deep.

667
00:56:56,140 --> 00:56:57,480
William has said nothing.

668
00:56:59,440 --> 00:57:00,440
Done nothing.

669
00:57:02,260 --> 00:57:03,260
Neither have you.

670
00:57:23,540 --> 00:57:25,280
Vera, William and I are to write our
epic.

671
00:57:26,520 --> 00:57:27,520
We've found our theme.

672
00:57:28,280 --> 00:57:29,280
Another one?

673
00:57:30,100 --> 00:57:31,240
This one will be finished.

674
00:57:31,920 --> 00:57:32,920
Published within a week.

675
00:57:33,440 --> 00:57:35,020
Sensation of London within a month.

676
00:57:35,480 --> 00:57:36,740
The Wanderings of Cain.

677
00:57:37,740 --> 00:57:39,580
We will tell the story of two brothers.

678
00:57:40,120 --> 00:57:45,780
One who betrays the other. And it will
be dark and splendid and terrifying.

679
00:57:46,600 --> 00:57:48,020
And it will make our fortunes.

680
00:57:48,760 --> 00:57:50,120
William is to write the first part.

681
00:57:50,910 --> 00:57:54,530
myself the second, and together we shall
write the third. And to make sure that

682
00:57:54,530 --> 00:57:57,510
we do finish it, the whole thing will be
done in one night.

683
00:57:59,030 --> 00:58:00,030
Tonight.

684
00:58:01,170 --> 00:58:02,310
You'll want tea, then.

685
00:59:15,630 --> 00:59:17,070
I think I'm beginning a toothache.

686
00:59:20,070 --> 00:59:21,070
Perhaps another night.

687
00:59:26,670 --> 00:59:27,670
Here.

688
00:59:28,570 --> 00:59:29,650
Take some laudanum.

689
00:59:30,770 --> 00:59:31,890
That'll soon get rid of it.

690
01:02:24,700 --> 01:02:25,700
Sam? Sam?

691
01:02:30,800 --> 01:02:31,860
Have you drunk it all?

692
01:02:33,860 --> 01:02:35,480
You're supposed to take a thimbleful.

693
01:02:40,670 --> 01:02:41,670
Sam?

694
01:02:42,790 --> 01:02:43,790
Sam?

695
01:02:45,790 --> 01:02:47,310
Sam! Come on.

696
01:02:48,350 --> 01:02:49,350
Sam!

697
01:02:50,930 --> 01:02:52,210
I'll fetch some water.

698
01:02:53,610 --> 01:02:54,630
Did we finish?

699
01:02:58,370 --> 01:02:59,530
William, let me see.

700
01:03:20,330 --> 01:03:27,250
One morn, we walked out on our dry walk,
our quiet

701
01:03:27,250 --> 01:03:33,710
house in full view, and held our
intermitted

702
01:03:33,710 --> 01:03:38,070
talk as we were wont to do.

703
01:03:40,490 --> 01:03:47,090
Without him here to inspire me, it's all
just so much geography.

704
01:03:56,140 --> 01:03:57,500
Have you ever taken opium, Dorothy?

705
01:03:58,860 --> 01:04:00,040
Only for toothache.

706
01:04:02,500 --> 01:04:03,800
I never wrote a line.

707
01:04:06,240 --> 01:04:07,240
When?

708
01:04:07,440 --> 01:04:09,180
In Sam's house, that night.

709
01:04:10,460 --> 01:04:13,640
It isn't true that we wrote Cain. He
wrote it. I wrote nothing.

710
01:04:14,380 --> 01:04:16,040
The page glared at me.

711
01:04:16,360 --> 01:04:18,540
I no sooner picked up the pen than I was
sweating.

712
01:04:19,720 --> 01:04:22,380
Why could I not write, Dorothy? Why
could I not write?

713
01:04:29,740 --> 01:04:32,540
He has such velocity.

714
01:04:37,040 --> 01:04:38,880
I'm afraid to write in front of him.

715
01:04:39,880 --> 01:04:41,960
You are afraid to pick up the pen.

716
01:04:43,440 --> 01:04:45,220
Very well, I will pick it up for you.

717
01:04:46,740 --> 01:04:48,220
You need only to talk.

718
01:04:49,260 --> 01:04:50,500
You're not afraid of talking.

719
01:05:00,080 --> 01:05:02,320
I wandered lonely as a cow.

720
01:05:03,500 --> 01:05:06,740
Perhaps a cloud would be better,
William.

721
01:05:14,460 --> 01:05:15,020
Good

722
01:05:15,020 --> 01:05:22,980
evening.

723
01:05:23,180 --> 01:05:24,300
Good evening, sir.

724
01:05:30,700 --> 01:05:32,600
They live by what they can catch.

725
01:05:34,260 --> 01:05:38,880
They have to walk out across the
mudflats to place their nets, like

726
01:05:38,880 --> 01:05:42,080
creatures from a primordial swamp.

727
01:05:46,340 --> 01:05:48,320
We could make a poem about this, Sam.

728
01:05:49,080 --> 01:05:51,780
About the hardships of England's estuary
fishermen.

729
01:05:53,180 --> 01:05:55,980
Brendan, I brought someone to see you.

730
01:06:15,400 --> 01:06:20,280
They say the more you tell it, the more
it'll go away.

731
01:06:21,620 --> 01:06:25,700
Somehow, to me, it just sticks there.

732
01:06:27,520 --> 01:06:28,780
I keep having it.

733
01:06:32,180 --> 01:06:33,180
What is it?

734
01:06:33,540 --> 01:06:37,280
I have this dream about a ship.

735
01:06:39,020 --> 01:06:42,480
It comes in over the bar over there.

736
01:06:50,860 --> 01:06:52,340
Only there's no crew aboard.

737
01:06:54,640 --> 01:06:56,900
Only dead men.

738
01:06:58,640 --> 01:07:00,400
A whole crowd of them.

739
01:07:01,120 --> 01:07:02,120
Dead.

740
01:07:03,000 --> 01:07:06,600
What does it mean? What do you think it
means?

741
01:07:07,120 --> 01:07:13,000
They say it tokens some great wrong I've
done. I don't know.

742
01:07:14,340 --> 01:07:18,880
I stole another man's halberd bucket
once.

743
01:07:24,590 --> 01:07:25,590
We're good with that.

744
01:07:30,470 --> 01:07:31,690
That's all right, sir.

745
01:07:31,970 --> 01:07:33,430
They're only Elvers.

746
01:07:34,090 --> 01:07:36,090
That's what we're here for.

747
01:07:43,770 --> 01:07:47,330
The fair breeze blew. The white foam
flew.

748
01:07:47,610 --> 01:07:49,530
The furrow followed free.

749
01:07:50,380 --> 01:07:54,140
We were the first that ever burst into
that silent sea.

750
01:08:01,820 --> 01:08:02,820
Slimy things.

751
01:08:03,720 --> 01:08:06,920
I saw the slimy things that were
crawling up my legs.

752
01:08:08,240 --> 01:08:10,000
Elvers. Yes.

753
01:08:11,620 --> 01:08:16,300
They're sold to make elver cheese, but
the whole eel fetches a better price.

754
01:08:17,130 --> 01:08:20,930
The fishermen of the estuary have always
to calculate the possibility of present

755
01:08:20,930 --> 01:08:24,450
gain with that of long-term loss if too
many elvers are taken.

756
01:08:25,770 --> 01:08:29,790
Slimy things did crawl with legs upon
the slimy sea.

757
01:08:31,670 --> 01:08:32,670
And listen.

758
01:08:34,090 --> 01:08:40,870
We had not the sight of one fish or bird
except a disconsolate albatross,

759
01:08:41,029 --> 01:08:45,270
hatly observing that the bird was always
hovering near us.

760
01:08:45,609 --> 01:08:50,330
imagined it was some ill omen and shot
it.

761
01:08:51,830 --> 01:08:55,870
Sam, albatrosses have nothing to do with
eel fishing.

762
01:08:56,130 --> 01:08:57,430
This is another distraction.

763
01:08:58,170 --> 01:09:01,970
To shoot a bird of ill omen is nothing.
To shoot a bird of good omen?

764
01:09:03,970 --> 01:09:04,970
Imagine.

765
01:09:05,410 --> 01:09:10,090
Because of the storm, the mariner
murders the albatross. Straight away,

766
01:09:10,250 --> 01:09:13,590
the ship is becalmed, but then the sun
beats down relentlessly.

767
01:09:14,439 --> 01:09:20,540
And all the crew die of thirst and
fever. All except the one who willed the

768
01:09:20,540 --> 01:09:21,540
bird.

769
01:09:25,899 --> 01:09:26,920
And then what?

770
01:09:33,439 --> 01:09:34,479
When is God?

771
01:09:35,880 --> 01:09:36,880
Sam!

772
01:09:48,720 --> 01:09:50,580
Little chap, it's not safe.

773
01:09:51,680 --> 01:09:52,680
Sam!

774
01:10:26,470 --> 01:10:30,190
Now the storm blast came, and he was
tyrannous and strong.

775
01:10:30,490 --> 01:10:34,550
He struck with his o'ertaking wings and
chased us south along.

776
01:10:34,950 --> 01:10:39,470
And now there came both mist and snow,
and it grew wondrous cold.

777
01:10:39,790 --> 01:10:44,950
And ice, mast high, came floating by, as
green as emerald.

778
01:10:45,750 --> 01:10:51,970
The ice was here, the ice was there, the
ice was all around. It cracked and

779
01:10:51,970 --> 01:10:55,610
growled and roared and howled like
noises in a swan.

780
01:10:58,670 --> 01:11:02,810
At length did cross an albatross, and
through the fog it came.

781
01:11:04,450 --> 01:11:09,170
God save thee, ancient mariner, from the
fiends that plague thee thus. Why

782
01:11:09,170 --> 01:11:10,170
look'st thou so?

783
01:11:10,610 --> 01:11:15,450
With my crossbow I shot the albatross.

784
01:11:20,550 --> 01:11:25,290
And I had done hellish thing, and it
would work and woe.

785
01:11:25,900 --> 01:11:30,780
For all averred, I had killed the bird.
If the ancient mariner has simply killed

786
01:11:30,780 --> 01:11:33,920
a bird, why is he punished so severely?

787
01:11:34,740 --> 01:11:36,920
Why do all the other crew members have
to die?

788
01:11:37,780 --> 01:11:39,600
It's just a bird, after all.

789
01:11:40,420 --> 01:11:42,800
He's broken his bond with nature.

790
01:11:44,380 --> 01:11:45,880
It's a kind of parable.

791
01:11:46,540 --> 01:11:52,780
Man is tied to nature. If he cuts that
tie, then the result is chaos.

792
01:11:56,080 --> 01:12:00,620
In my darkness and my dreams, I'm drawn
to the power of these images.

793
01:12:03,880 --> 01:12:06,700
But they seem to shrink in the daylight
of my reason and my faith.

794
01:12:14,020 --> 01:12:16,140
Then extinguish that light.

795
01:12:21,740 --> 01:12:22,740
Just for a time.

796
01:12:56,360 --> 01:13:02,940
Day after day, day after day, we stop,
no breath,

797
01:13:03,240 --> 01:13:08,800
no motion, as idle as a painted ship

798
01:13:08,800 --> 01:13:12,220
upon a painted ocean.

799
01:13:39,240 --> 01:13:40,980
The very deep did rot.

800
01:13:41,600 --> 01:13:45,420
O Christ, that this should come to be!

801
01:13:46,500 --> 01:13:52,180
Yea, slimy things did crawl with legs
upon the slimy sea.

802
01:14:08,560 --> 01:14:14,280
Instead of the cross, the albatross
about my neck was hung.

803
01:14:14,700 --> 01:14:15,700
Sarah,

804
01:14:20,700 --> 01:14:21,700
please.

805
01:14:25,580 --> 01:14:27,100
Please help me.

806
01:14:34,620 --> 01:14:36,040
You're not to see him.

807
01:14:39,530 --> 01:14:40,530
He's taken bad.

808
01:14:44,970 --> 01:14:46,030
Must be left alone.

809
01:14:47,510 --> 01:14:48,510
Please.

810
01:14:49,430 --> 01:14:50,550
Ah, Sarah!

811
01:14:52,970 --> 01:14:53,970
Sam!

812
01:14:55,130 --> 01:14:56,130
Sam, your boat!

813
01:14:56,610 --> 01:14:57,710
Sam, your... Dorothy!

814
01:14:59,610 --> 01:15:00,610
Sam!

815
01:15:01,570 --> 01:15:08,490
The mariner... The mariner's lost upon
the ocean. I don't know how to bring

816
01:15:08,490 --> 01:15:09,490
him back.

817
01:15:12,430 --> 01:15:16,070
He killed the bird. All of nature
conspires against him. I can see him. I

818
01:15:16,070 --> 01:15:20,170
can see him. I can see him on the ship
with the dead men in the dead water.

819
01:17:21,000 --> 01:17:25,940
Beyond the shadow of the ship, I watched
the water snakes, blue, glossy green,

820
01:17:26,040 --> 01:17:31,520
and velvet black. They coiled and swam,
and every track was a flash of golden

821
01:17:31,520 --> 01:17:37,280
fire. A spring of love gushed from my
heart, and I blessed them unaware.

822
01:17:38,300 --> 01:17:41,000
Astonishing. That was my suggestion.

823
01:17:41,780 --> 01:17:47,160
The selfsame moment I could pray, and
from my neck so free, the albatross fell

824
01:17:47,160 --> 01:17:49,680
off and sank like lead.

825
01:17:50,200 --> 01:17:51,200
Into the sea.

826
01:17:53,140 --> 01:17:54,140
William?

827
01:17:57,380 --> 01:17:58,920
He said we would work together.

828
01:17:59,860 --> 01:18:01,400
I've written nothing of him like this.

829
01:18:02,960 --> 01:18:03,960
It's huge.

830
01:18:04,120 --> 01:18:05,340
It's a book in itself.

831
01:18:06,660 --> 01:18:07,660
Where is my...

832
01:18:45,070 --> 01:18:46,070
William?

833
01:18:56,250 --> 01:18:57,250
William?

834
01:19:03,170 --> 01:19:06,370
You can feed him with ideas and images
but I go hungry.

835
01:19:47,210 --> 01:19:51,450
I have felt a presence that uplifts me
with the joy of elevated thoughts.

836
01:19:52,350 --> 01:19:55,650
A sense sublime of something far more
wonderful.

837
01:19:55,890 --> 01:20:00,290
William, with regard to what happened
yesterday... Uplift is wrong. Something

838
01:20:00,290 --> 01:20:01,770
less certain.

839
01:20:02,590 --> 01:20:04,090
Disturbed. Disturbed, precisely.

840
01:20:04,530 --> 01:20:07,050
With regard to what happened between
us... I have felt a presence that

841
01:20:07,050 --> 01:20:09,350
disturbs me with the joy of elevated
thoughts.

842
01:20:10,110 --> 01:20:11,910
No, not thoughts. Thought.

843
01:20:12,670 --> 01:20:13,670
Thoughts are too philosophical.

844
01:20:14,010 --> 01:20:15,270
Thoughts is more personal.

845
01:20:15,490 --> 01:20:17,710
Good, Dorothy, very good. I have
something that I wish to say. A sense

846
01:20:17,710 --> 01:20:20,690
sublime of something far more... Far
deeper.

847
01:20:21,190 --> 01:20:22,190
Deeper.

848
01:20:22,910 --> 01:20:24,950
Deeper, deeply interfused.

849
01:20:27,830 --> 01:20:29,110
Yes, this is better.

850
01:20:29,710 --> 01:20:35,730
A sense sublime of something far more
deeply interfused, whose dwelling is the

851
01:20:35,730 --> 01:20:39,030
setting of the suns and the round ocean
and the living air.

852
01:20:39,970 --> 01:20:41,610
For thou art with me.

853
01:20:41,880 --> 01:20:44,100
Here upon the banks of this fair river.

854
01:20:44,400 --> 01:20:48,180
Thou? Who? There wasn't a thou in the
poem before, was there? Thou, my dearest

855
01:20:48,180 --> 01:20:49,400
friend. Son.

856
01:20:49,780 --> 01:20:51,620
My dear, dear friend.

857
01:20:52,560 --> 01:20:57,400
And in thy voice I catch the language of
my former heart and read my former

858
01:20:57,400 --> 01:21:00,480
pleasures in the shooting lights of thy
wild eyes.

859
01:21:02,120 --> 01:21:06,400
Oh, yet a little while may I behold in
thee what I was once.

860
01:21:07,900 --> 01:21:09,860
My dear, dear sister.

861
01:21:18,060 --> 01:21:19,060
Of course.

862
01:21:20,880 --> 01:21:21,880
Turn.

863
01:21:34,600 --> 01:21:38,620
The sounding cataract haunted me like a
passion.

864
01:21:38,860 --> 01:21:40,340
The tall rock.

865
01:21:40,730 --> 01:21:45,130
the mountain and the deep and gloomy
wood. Their colours and their forms were

866
01:21:45,130 --> 01:21:52,070
then to me an appetite, a feeling and a
love that had no need of a

867
01:21:52,070 --> 01:21:53,070
remoter charm.

868
01:21:55,030 --> 01:21:56,030
Sam.

869
01:21:57,170 --> 01:21:59,950
Sam, don't. It's destroying you.

870
01:22:00,810 --> 01:22:05,210
For I have learned to look on nature,
not as in the hour of thoughtless youth,

871
01:22:05,450 --> 01:22:07,530
but hearing, oftentimes,

872
01:22:08,540 --> 01:22:10,960
The still sad music of humanity.

873
01:22:14,460 --> 01:22:15,460
It's here.

874
01:22:15,900 --> 01:22:17,720
What? Your book, Sam.

875
01:22:18,680 --> 01:22:19,980
The local ballads.

876
01:22:22,020 --> 01:22:24,320
No, no, I haven't finished it yet.

877
01:22:24,900 --> 01:22:25,900
It is.

878
01:22:28,300 --> 01:22:30,100
Oh, William, I nearly forgot.

879
01:22:30,600 --> 01:22:32,680
It's a letter. I just see it in print.

880
01:22:33,420 --> 01:22:35,060
William, has it come?

881
01:22:35,380 --> 01:22:36,380
Has it come?

882
01:22:36,700 --> 01:22:37,700
The Mariner.

883
01:22:38,000 --> 01:22:39,600
Takes pride of place in the front there,
look.

884
01:22:39,980 --> 01:22:40,980
We must celebrate.

885
01:22:42,020 --> 01:22:46,080
To publish anonymously was... was a
masterstroke.

886
01:22:46,520 --> 01:22:49,620
Everyone is speculating as to who
authored these poems.

887
01:22:49,880 --> 01:22:52,980
Some have even gone so far as to wager
money on the question.

888
01:22:53,280 --> 01:22:54,660
I wonder if they do think it's us.

889
01:22:54,960 --> 01:22:57,740
So many. William, you have written so
many.

890
01:22:58,440 --> 01:23:02,840
I am pleased to be proved right like
this. Sarah, look, your silent gate post

891
01:23:02,840 --> 01:23:05,200
has spoken and spoken and spoken.

892
01:23:06,600 --> 01:23:07,600
We've done it.

893
01:23:09,660 --> 01:23:11,060
William, we've done it.

894
01:23:11,740 --> 01:23:12,880
What do people say?

895
01:23:13,360 --> 01:23:15,280
The whole of London is talking about it.

896
01:23:16,120 --> 01:23:18,260
There have been requests already for a
second volume.

897
01:23:18,500 --> 01:23:19,499
A second volume?

898
01:23:19,500 --> 01:23:23,320
Well, I have a notion for another ballad
in five acts. Five acts?

899
01:23:24,500 --> 01:23:25,660
It will be tremendous.

900
01:23:26,420 --> 01:23:29,320
Better than the Mariner. Nothing could
be better than the Mariner.

901
01:23:30,260 --> 01:23:31,420
The lyrical ballads.

902
01:23:31,860 --> 01:23:33,620
To you, Sam. The lyrical ballads.

903
01:23:47,980 --> 01:23:48,980
one from Salvi.

904
01:23:49,160 --> 01:23:50,660
Some observations he made for me.

905
01:23:51,820 --> 01:23:55,340
Well, perhaps Sam's next poem will be
better even than the Mariner. Perhaps

906
01:23:55,340 --> 01:23:58,380
the second volume should be written
entirely by Sam. You're being silly.

907
01:23:59,280 --> 01:24:01,180
We have benefited a great deal from Sam.

908
01:24:01,440 --> 01:24:04,280
Yes, William. But it may be that we have
learned all he has to teach us.

909
01:24:06,080 --> 01:24:07,100
We should go, Dorothy.

910
01:24:07,580 --> 01:24:09,720
We should return to the happy land of
our childhood.

911
01:24:10,040 --> 01:24:11,040
And leave him behind.

912
01:24:11,920 --> 01:24:14,520
Yes, of course leave him behind. What of
it?

913
01:24:14,920 --> 01:24:15,920
He is married.

914
01:24:16,280 --> 01:24:17,280
He has his wife.

915
01:24:17,740 --> 01:24:18,659
His child.

916
01:24:18,660 --> 01:24:19,660
His baby.

917
01:24:26,260 --> 01:24:28,380
My big brother used to read me this.

918
01:24:29,160 --> 01:24:30,280
Your Uncle Frank.

919
01:24:31,700 --> 01:24:35,660
When I could not sleep, he went away to
India.

920
01:24:36,900 --> 01:24:38,860
Maybe he saw these great cities.

921
01:24:40,160 --> 01:24:41,360
Lost cities.

922
01:24:41,800 --> 01:24:42,900
Ancient ruins.

923
01:24:44,140 --> 01:24:45,140
Look.

924
01:24:45,420 --> 01:24:46,420
Xanadu.

925
01:24:47,790 --> 01:24:48,790
Than I do.

926
01:27:21,940 --> 01:27:22,940
Mr. Coleridge.

927
01:27:26,220 --> 01:27:27,220
What's happened to him?

928
01:27:33,240 --> 01:27:35,380
Whatever it is, I'm sure it's his own
doing.

929
01:27:36,320 --> 01:27:38,280
Come. But, Father, we must help him.

930
01:27:42,680 --> 01:27:43,680
Are you all right?

931
01:27:44,880 --> 01:27:45,880
I'm all right.

932
01:27:46,660 --> 01:27:49,340
I will be all right. I must have some
ink.

933
01:27:50,540 --> 01:27:54,320
On the desk. I must write it down. I've
seen it. I've seen it.

934
01:28:04,120 --> 01:28:06,560
In Xanadu did Kubla Khan.

935
01:28:07,320 --> 01:28:09,620
A stately pleasure-dome decree.

936
01:28:10,440 --> 01:28:16,200
Where Alf, the sacred river, ran,
through caverns measureless to man, down

937
01:28:16,200 --> 01:28:17,640
to a sunless sea.

938
01:29:19,820 --> 01:29:21,980
Sarah was concerned when you didn't come
home.

939
01:29:25,340 --> 01:29:27,580
I met the Hollands on my way from
Porlock.

940
01:29:29,660 --> 01:29:30,680
What are you writing?

941
01:29:32,200 --> 01:29:33,200
A dream.

942
01:29:33,760 --> 01:29:35,820
Remembered in a dream of Kubla Khan.

943
01:29:39,840 --> 01:29:40,840
May I see?

944
01:29:41,600 --> 01:29:44,520
No, it's... No, it's not that.

945
01:29:48,100 --> 01:29:49,100
I see.

946
01:29:51,710 --> 01:29:58,710
You will be ready soon Ready for you to
see that is I value your opinion

947
01:29:58,710 --> 01:29:59,710
always

948
01:30:41,450 --> 01:30:42,450
It's gone!

949
01:30:42,830 --> 01:30:45,470
William! I can't see it anymore!

950
01:30:46,730 --> 01:30:47,730
William!

951
01:30:48,250 --> 01:30:49,250
William!

952
01:30:49,870 --> 01:30:50,870
William!

953
01:30:51,330 --> 01:30:54,530
It's all there in front of me. Did I say
anything to you? I know the phrase,

954
01:30:54,650 --> 01:30:55,650
anything.

955
01:30:58,310 --> 01:30:59,310
William!

956
01:31:00,110 --> 01:31:06,710
And so I dare to hope.

957
01:31:07,240 --> 01:31:11,520
Though changed, no doubt, from what I
was when first I came among these hills,

958
01:31:11,680 --> 01:31:16,340
when like a roe I bounded o'er the
mountains, by the sides of the deep

959
01:31:16,340 --> 01:31:22,080
rivers and the lonely streams, wherever
nature led, more like a man flying from

960
01:31:22,080 --> 01:31:26,020
something that he dreads than one who
sought the thing he loved.

961
01:31:27,040 --> 01:31:28,720
We should stock up on firewood.

962
01:31:29,040 --> 01:31:30,960
It's sure to be freezing when we get to
the house.

963
01:31:31,560 --> 01:31:33,080
Ah, there will be someone there already.

964
01:31:33,640 --> 01:31:35,100
I have engaged someone.

965
01:31:39,280 --> 01:31:40,280
It's pretty and modest.

966
01:31:40,780 --> 01:31:41,960
We'll be well hidden here.

967
01:31:49,980 --> 01:31:52,920
Dorothy, this is Mary. Mary, this is my
sister, Dorothy.

968
01:31:55,100 --> 01:31:56,460
Fire's blazing prettily.

969
01:31:57,460 --> 01:31:58,460
You've done very well.

970
01:31:58,780 --> 01:32:00,240
Our bags are just there.

971
01:32:00,940 --> 01:32:03,240
Bring them in, then, if you're to stay.

972
01:32:04,160 --> 01:32:05,160
Is she to stay?

973
01:32:05,380 --> 01:32:06,380
Yes, yes.

974
01:32:06,580 --> 01:32:07,580
Indeed, yes.

975
01:32:11,850 --> 01:32:13,890
But perhaps I have not made myself clear
enough.

976
01:32:15,750 --> 01:32:17,090
Mary and I are engaged.

977
01:32:19,570 --> 01:32:20,570
To be married.

978
01:32:25,310 --> 01:32:26,310
Thanks.

979
01:32:37,010 --> 01:32:38,010
Cumberland?

980
01:32:41,800 --> 01:32:45,800
He steadies me. If I'm left on my own,
my thoughts, they just crowd each other

981
01:32:45,800 --> 01:32:46,398
to death.

982
01:32:46,400 --> 01:32:49,080
You were a great poet before you ever
even heard of William.

983
01:32:50,640 --> 01:32:51,640
No, Sam.

984
01:32:51,720 --> 01:32:52,720
No.

985
01:32:53,740 --> 01:32:55,920
No. No, no, no, no, no.

986
01:33:00,100 --> 01:33:01,300
Here it is.

987
01:33:01,600 --> 01:33:03,740
The Palace of the Four Winds.

988
01:33:08,200 --> 01:33:09,200
Look, Hartley.

989
01:33:09,260 --> 01:33:11,240
Look. A baby giant is...

990
01:33:11,480 --> 01:33:13,580
Right outside our house.

991
01:33:18,480 --> 01:33:23,940
There's so much space.

992
01:33:24,420 --> 01:33:25,580
There's so little rent.

993
01:33:27,600 --> 01:33:28,900
How are we going to eat it?

994
01:33:29,380 --> 01:33:33,840
It'll be fine. Now that you're safe in
here, I should go and tell William.

995
01:33:40,300 --> 01:33:41,300
I walked here as a boy.

996
01:33:42,440 --> 01:33:44,660
This whole vale swarms with sensation.

997
01:33:46,880 --> 01:33:47,880
William!

998
01:33:48,180 --> 01:33:50,200
William! Is that him? Dorothy!

999
01:33:50,840 --> 01:33:55,920
Dorothy, you were right! This place
is... Madam, I'm sorry.

1000
01:33:56,540 --> 01:34:00,260
I mistook you. I was sure you... Sam,
this is Mary.

1001
01:34:01,120 --> 01:34:02,140
My future bride.

1002
01:34:03,480 --> 01:34:04,480
Good heavens.

1003
01:34:05,260 --> 01:34:06,280
I had no idea.

1004
01:34:07,950 --> 01:34:09,970
We must press on or we shall miss the
best of the day.

1005
01:34:16,390 --> 01:34:19,390
My next poem will be in the manner of
your piece about the frost.

1006
01:34:20,790 --> 01:34:23,470
Quiet and domestic, but far greater in
scope.

1007
01:34:25,290 --> 01:34:28,350
The whole story of the formation of my
poetic spirit.

1008
01:34:30,510 --> 01:34:31,610
Mary is to help me.

1009
01:34:33,070 --> 01:34:34,450
Look, William! Look, he's here!

1010
01:34:36,750 --> 01:34:37,750
Who is?

1011
01:34:38,270 --> 01:34:39,270
Walsh!

1012
01:34:40,330 --> 01:34:41,390
Look, William, look!

1013
01:34:47,370 --> 01:34:48,490
I see no one.

1014
01:34:49,370 --> 01:34:50,370
What?

1015
01:34:50,790 --> 01:34:51,790
Trigger the light.

1016
01:34:56,890 --> 01:34:57,890
You never saw it?

1017
01:35:07,340 --> 01:35:08,340
Wait, so...

1018
01:36:00,930 --> 01:36:01,930
Where have you been?

1019
01:36:03,190 --> 01:36:04,490
Three days without work.

1020
01:36:04,890 --> 01:36:05,890
Sarah's at Hogwarts Inn.

1021
01:36:07,870 --> 01:36:08,870
Sally?

1022
01:36:10,430 --> 01:36:11,730
Edith and I have come to live with you.

1023
01:36:12,230 --> 01:36:15,210
Remember all that communion of like
minds, Palawa? Well, this is it.

1024
01:36:17,370 --> 01:36:20,510
Sarah asked us. I hope you've no
objection.

1025
01:36:21,350 --> 01:36:23,450
What? Here? In this house?

1026
01:36:24,310 --> 01:36:25,310
Well, I'm here.

1027
01:36:25,450 --> 01:36:27,250
I'm here to help you conquer your
addictions.

1028
01:36:27,530 --> 01:36:29,890
Yes, Sam, you really must forswear the
opium.

1029
01:36:30,380 --> 01:36:31,720
Its long-term effects are unknown.

1030
01:36:32,340 --> 01:36:33,340
Sit you down.

1031
01:36:34,580 --> 01:36:35,580
There we are.

1032
01:36:37,820 --> 01:36:38,840
You might try this.

1033
01:36:39,940 --> 01:36:40,940
Davy gave it to me.

1034
01:36:42,080 --> 01:36:43,400
It's nitrous oxide.

1035
01:36:44,140 --> 01:36:45,640
I take a lungful every morning.

1036
01:36:46,160 --> 01:36:49,060
It's enough to give you a taste of
exaltation, but it does not create

1037
01:36:49,060 --> 01:36:50,060
dependency.

1038
01:36:58,600 --> 01:37:02,640
The laughter itself is therapeutic, of
course, but it does not. It exercises

1039
01:37:02,640 --> 01:37:03,640
the lungs.

1040
01:37:09,380 --> 01:37:11,040
It's not the opium, Sam.

1041
01:37:11,340 --> 01:37:12,560
It's my mind.

1042
01:37:15,120 --> 01:37:17,640
I spend each day trying not to think.

1043
01:37:21,380 --> 01:37:27,580
Your friend, Sam.

1044
01:37:29,770 --> 01:37:32,010
Is it wise to make public his
involvement in the ballads?

1045
01:37:32,430 --> 01:37:33,430
What do you mean?

1046
01:37:33,470 --> 01:37:34,750
He's deranged.

1047
01:37:35,630 --> 01:37:37,810
Might it not bring our work into some
disrepute?

1048
01:37:38,250 --> 01:37:39,290
For the second edition?

1049
01:37:41,910 --> 01:37:44,150
Lyrical ballads by William Wordsworth.

1050
01:37:47,090 --> 01:37:48,310
There's a nice ring to it.

1051
01:37:50,550 --> 01:37:51,650
Sounds very well, Mary.

1052
01:37:54,930 --> 01:37:57,630
We are making a classroom here.

1053
01:37:58,580 --> 01:38:01,100
Sarah is to teach your children, and
mine.

1054
01:38:01,780 --> 01:38:04,520
And by way of wages, I shall pay the
rent.

1055
01:38:05,600 --> 01:38:07,420
So you have no worries about that.

1056
01:38:08,320 --> 01:38:09,360
Get yourself better.

1057
01:38:11,960 --> 01:38:13,260
Salvi, did you write this?

1058
01:38:13,820 --> 01:38:15,580
Well, yes, I did.

1059
01:38:16,460 --> 01:38:19,540
It is for children. It is sublime. It
will live forever.

1060
01:38:20,720 --> 01:38:24,520
When all our names are forgotten, these
few pages will be remembered. They will

1061
01:38:24,520 --> 01:38:31,040
always be remembered. When I am dead,
when all my words are dust...

1062
01:38:31,040 --> 01:38:39,280
What

1063
01:38:39,280 --> 01:38:40,280
is it, Robert?

1064
01:38:40,560 --> 01:38:41,560
What have you written?

1065
01:38:41,920 --> 01:38:42,920
A story.

1066
01:38:43,080 --> 01:38:44,540
Just a story for the children.

1067
01:38:45,660 --> 01:38:47,280
It's called The Three Bears.

1068
01:39:13,260 --> 01:39:14,260
Where's William?

1069
01:39:14,600 --> 01:39:16,460
He's inside. He's writing with Mary.

1070
01:39:17,280 --> 01:39:18,480
They've asked not to be disturbed.

1071
01:39:22,380 --> 01:39:23,380
You're soaked.

1072
01:39:23,680 --> 01:39:24,680
Come by the fire.

1073
01:39:26,620 --> 01:39:27,920
Take your jacket off.

1074
01:39:28,900 --> 01:39:29,900
I ran.

1075
01:39:30,440 --> 01:39:31,560
I ran all the way.

1076
01:39:36,640 --> 01:39:40,220
No, Dorothy, no. No, please. This is
trouble. I can't. This is... This is

1077
01:39:40,220 --> 01:39:42,940
wonderful. Well, Sam, we can send this
to the publisher. No, no, no.

1078
01:39:43,220 --> 01:39:44,860
It's not finished yet.

1079
01:39:45,180 --> 01:39:46,340
Well, what does that matter?

1080
01:39:46,740 --> 01:39:51,080
The Iliad isn't finished. Are the ruins
of Tintin Abbey any less lovely for

1081
01:39:51,080 --> 01:39:52,240
their lack of completion?

1082
01:39:52,620 --> 01:39:56,720
Is creation ever finished? Well, no,
but... Oh, Sam.

1083
01:39:59,420 --> 01:40:01,860
I thought you were lost.

1084
01:40:02,820 --> 01:40:03,820
I'm back.

1085
01:40:04,660 --> 01:40:08,160
But, oh, that deep romantic...

1086
01:40:08,600 --> 01:40:14,960
A chasm which slanted down the green
hill, a thwart, a seed and cover, a

1087
01:40:14,960 --> 01:40:21,920
savage place, as holy and enchanted as
air beneath. A

1088
01:40:21,920 --> 01:40:28,900
waning moon was haunted by a woman
wailing for her demon

1089
01:40:28,900 --> 01:40:29,900
lover.

1090
01:40:30,280 --> 01:40:32,220
And... Is something wrong?

1091
01:40:34,400 --> 01:40:37,400
No. Wrong, no. It's just so...

1092
01:40:40,300 --> 01:40:44,360
Beautiful. There are lines here.

1093
01:40:45,700 --> 01:40:47,680
Observations I made myself.

1094
01:40:49,100 --> 01:40:54,940
His garden, it's still either the
underground waterfall

1095
01:40:54,940 --> 01:41:00,660
or touched by his alchemy.

1096
01:41:01,680 --> 01:41:08,240
Sorry. Sorry, William. It's just... It's
very hard

1097
01:41:08,240 --> 01:41:09,600
to think that...

1098
01:41:10,040 --> 01:41:15,920
This archangel is blazing yet somewhere
inside our friend.

1099
01:41:17,860 --> 01:41:19,820
Very different from your work, William.

1100
01:41:22,520 --> 01:41:23,520
Yes.

1101
01:41:25,980 --> 01:41:27,680
I prefer yours, William.

1102
01:41:30,220 --> 01:41:31,220
Thank you, Mary.

1103
01:41:33,460 --> 01:41:34,760
What about you, Dorothy?

1104
01:41:38,220 --> 01:41:39,900
Do you prefer his method or mine?

1105
01:41:41,460 --> 01:41:42,520
The method?

1106
01:41:42,860 --> 01:41:43,860
No.

1107
01:41:44,340 --> 01:41:48,200
The method is self-destruction. It's too
high a price.

1108
01:41:48,600 --> 01:41:49,800
Our methods are in opposition.

1109
01:41:50,360 --> 01:41:52,340
It is impossible to approve of both.

1110
01:41:53,380 --> 01:41:54,840
It is not even finished.

1111
01:41:57,700 --> 01:41:59,020
We must reject it.

1112
01:41:59,580 --> 01:42:00,580
Reject it?

1113
01:42:00,620 --> 01:42:02,640
How can we reject it?

1114
01:42:03,380 --> 01:42:05,360
He has worked so hard, he's...

1115
01:42:05,750 --> 01:42:08,770
He's all but destroyed himself. I think
it would be best if you were to tell

1116
01:42:08,770 --> 01:42:09,749
him.

1117
01:42:09,750 --> 01:42:11,710
I intend to work late and to sleep late.

1118
01:42:12,650 --> 01:42:14,310
But, William... Not now, Dorothy.

1119
01:42:14,590 --> 01:42:15,630
The poet must work.

1120
01:42:54,730 --> 01:42:58,530
Once upon a time there were three bears
who lived together in a house of their

1121
01:42:58,530 --> 01:42:59,530
own in a wood.

1122
01:42:59,730 --> 01:43:06,150
One of them was a little small wee bear
and one was a middle-sized bear and the

1123
01:43:06,150 --> 01:43:08,310
other was a great huge bear.

1124
01:43:09,370 --> 01:43:11,510
They had each a pot for their porridge.

1125
01:43:13,230 --> 01:43:16,150
They had each a pot for their porridge.

1126
01:43:16,990 --> 01:43:22,090
A little pot for the little small wee
bear and a middle-sized pot for the

1127
01:43:22,090 --> 01:43:23,090
middle bear.

1128
01:43:23,240 --> 01:43:26,120
And a great pot for the great huge bag.

1129
01:43:53,390 --> 01:43:58,170
It has been decided that the tone of
Kubla Khan is at odds with the rest of

1130
01:43:58,170 --> 01:43:59,170
the volume.

1131
01:43:59,310 --> 01:44:02,810
Its presence would be an intercalation
of heterogeneous matter.

1132
01:44:03,050 --> 01:44:06,030
You are requested, therefore, to remove
it.

1133
01:44:09,650 --> 01:44:13,350
I will myself bear the expense involved
in resetting the type.

1134
01:44:19,270 --> 01:44:22,270
Dr. Gilman has made a great study of the
effect of it.

1135
01:44:24,489 --> 01:44:29,510
Sam Opium is not your worst addiction
Your worst addiction is to Wordsworth

1136
01:44:29,510 --> 01:44:34,050
You will not recover until you put some
distance between yourself and that

1137
01:44:34,050 --> 01:44:35,050
vampire

1138
01:45:24,270 --> 01:45:29,690
What sin have I not committed for the
one filthy trick of opium?

1139
01:46:23,490 --> 01:46:29,030
Excuse me, ladies and gentlemen. I was
just making an experiment in Newton's

1140
01:46:29,030 --> 01:46:30,030
theories on gravity.

1141
01:46:30,290 --> 01:46:32,510
For God's sake, Sam.

1142
01:46:41,310 --> 01:46:44,930
Byron would pay a hundred pounds for
Kublai Khan.

1143
01:46:46,700 --> 01:46:49,260
If I could get that, it would make up
for a great deal.

1144
01:46:50,780 --> 01:46:53,260
And I should like to put things right
with Sarah.

1145
01:46:55,160 --> 01:46:56,320
A hundred pounds.

1146
01:46:58,840 --> 01:47:02,160
It is a very small price at which to
sell your reputation, surely.

1147
01:47:04,160 --> 01:47:07,120
You are still regarded as a great
critic.

1148
01:47:08,120 --> 01:47:10,520
The first to explain my own poetry.

1149
01:47:12,560 --> 01:47:13,960
If you were to publish this.

1150
01:47:16,849 --> 01:47:17,849
Ridicule, Sam.

1151
01:47:20,070 --> 01:47:21,070
Ridicule.

1152
01:47:28,710 --> 01:47:29,850
Are you sure?

1153
01:47:34,990 --> 01:47:40,450
Perhaps the poem is... not as bad as you
think.

1154
01:47:43,150 --> 01:47:45,030
Dorothy spoke very highly of it.

1155
01:47:48,290 --> 01:47:50,690
Dorothy. Shall we ask Dorothy what she
thinks, then?

1156
01:47:52,050 --> 01:47:53,050
Dorothy.

1157
01:47:55,530 --> 01:47:56,530
Is she here?

1158
01:48:02,830 --> 01:48:03,830
Dorothy.

1159
01:48:05,050 --> 01:48:07,970
Here is Sam, come to ask your opinion
about a poem of his.

1160
01:48:09,830 --> 01:48:10,830
Dorothy.

1161
01:48:37,000 --> 01:48:38,580
Would you like to show her your
manuscript?

1162
01:48:42,000 --> 01:48:44,960
How did this happen?

1163
01:48:47,840 --> 01:48:48,840
Opium, Sam.

1164
01:48:53,220 --> 01:48:56,620
This is the end of the road to which
Kubla Khan is the gateway.

1165
01:48:56,920 --> 01:49:03,680
This is your pleasure

1166
01:49:03,680 --> 01:49:04,680
dome.

1167
01:49:07,660 --> 01:49:13,140
If you were to truly end your addiction,
then the destruction of its fruits might

1168
01:49:13,140 --> 01:49:14,140
be a worthy gesture.

1169
01:50:14,510 --> 01:50:18,310
My lords, ladies and gentlemen, the
king's messenger.

1170
01:50:20,550 --> 01:50:22,910
The poet is over here.

1171
01:50:30,710 --> 01:50:33,850
Mr. Southey. Mr. Robert Southey.

1172
01:50:34,090 --> 01:50:38,670
Oh, indeed, no, but he is here.

1173
01:50:39,010 --> 01:50:40,010
Here?

1174
01:50:41,370 --> 01:50:42,390
I'm here.

1175
01:51:05,219 --> 01:51:08,740
laureate. I'm to be made poet laureate.

1176
01:51:10,620 --> 01:51:11,780
you are.

1177
01:51:12,940 --> 01:51:14,940
is it southey or southey?

1178
01:51:15,200 --> 01:51:19,520
it's southey. I'm sorry this is so
unexpected.

1179
01:51:19,960 --> 01:51:21,300
I really can't think of anything to say.

1180
01:51:22,320 --> 01:51:26,560
the moment is so beautiful.

1181
01:51:33,949 --> 01:51:35,330
You promised me.

1182
01:51:35,590 --> 01:51:38,410
You swore. A government post, I said.

1183
01:51:38,730 --> 01:51:40,470
I never mentioned the laureate.

1184
01:51:40,850 --> 01:51:42,330
What do you want that for, anyway?

1185
01:51:42,950 --> 01:51:44,170
There's no money in it.

1186
01:51:45,070 --> 01:51:47,770
This one pays handsome... What are you
talking about?

1187
01:51:48,970 --> 01:51:53,470
Distributor of postage stamps for the
county of Westmoreland.

1188
01:51:54,450 --> 01:51:55,450
Stamps!

1189
01:51:57,830 --> 01:52:02,350
William, I have ruined your day of days.
30 guineas per annum. You'll never have

1190
01:52:02,350 --> 01:52:05,150
to write poetry again. Don't believe it,
Sam. This is a private matter.

1191
01:52:08,330 --> 01:52:09,330
You.

1192
01:52:10,310 --> 01:52:11,530
Sam, go away.

1193
01:52:12,610 --> 01:52:15,030
You and him.

1194
01:52:16,170 --> 01:52:17,170
For how long?

1195
01:52:18,130 --> 01:52:21,050
Mr. Wordsworth and I go way back.

1196
01:52:54,120 --> 01:52:55,120
Okay.

1197
01:54:02,599 --> 01:54:04,700
You have been our destruction.

1198
01:54:07,940 --> 01:54:09,880
Opium has been your destruction, Sam.

1199
01:54:12,440 --> 01:54:15,940
You took my best work from me and put
your name to it.

1200
01:54:16,820 --> 01:54:20,640
You did the same to Dorothy, and then
you abandoned her.

1201
01:54:21,280 --> 01:54:26,040
As you abandoned me, you left us with
nothing!

1202
01:54:26,980 --> 01:54:29,940
You are the mistake of a lifetime!

1203
01:54:33,860 --> 01:54:40,540
It is my intention, with the help of
Lord Byron, to publish

1204
01:54:40,540 --> 01:54:41,540
Kublai Khan.

1205
01:54:43,060 --> 01:54:44,660
The poem was destroyed, Sam.

1206
01:54:45,160 --> 01:54:49,100
I tried to stop him, but... You were
afraid of it. That's why you made me

1207
01:54:49,100 --> 01:54:50,100
burn it.

1208
01:54:53,550 --> 01:54:56,650
And William, you stood by while he did
so.

1209
01:54:57,250 --> 01:55:00,390
I despised it and everything it stood
for.

1210
01:55:05,950 --> 01:55:10,630
Wordsworth, not content with spoiling
virgin pages with his feet on them,

1211
01:55:11,110 --> 01:55:17,410
has connived in the destruction of one
of the lost treasures of English verse.

1212
01:55:19,430 --> 01:55:20,510
Go on, William.

1213
01:55:21,450 --> 01:55:22,730
Do the daffodils.

1214
01:55:24,400 --> 01:55:29,400
I wandered lonely as a... as a... What
was it? Shh.

1215
01:55:31,740 --> 01:55:32,740
Enough.

1216
01:55:33,500 --> 01:55:35,580
The language of liberty, Sam.

1217
01:55:37,380 --> 01:55:44,360
In Sanadu, in Sanadu... ...get goopla
can... ...a stately

1218
01:55:44,360 --> 01:55:46,320
pleasure-dom degree.

1219
01:56:20,430 --> 01:56:26,130
The sacred river ran through caverns
measureless to man down to a sunless

1220
01:56:26,130 --> 01:56:32,870
sea. And so twice five miles of fertile
ground with walls and towers were

1221
01:56:32,870 --> 01:56:33,870
girdled round.

1222
01:56:34,210 --> 01:56:40,910
And here were gardens bright with
sinuous thrills

1223
01:56:40,910 --> 01:56:45,290
where blossomed many an incense-bearing
tree.

1224
01:56:45,510 --> 01:56:48,470
And here were forests.

1225
01:56:49,070 --> 01:56:55,890
ancient as the hills enfolding sunny
spots

1226
01:56:55,890 --> 01:57:02,630
of greenery but oh that deep

1227
01:57:02,630 --> 01:57:09,290
romantic chasm that slanted down the
green hill a thwart

1228
01:57:09,290 --> 01:57:16,070
of seed and cover a savage place as holy

1229
01:57:16,070 --> 01:57:22,690
and enchanted as ah beneath a waning
moon was haunted by

1230
01:57:22,690 --> 01:57:29,530
woman wailing for her demon lover and
from this chasm with ceaseless

1231
01:57:29,530 --> 01:57:35,530
turmoil seething as if this earth in
fast thick pants were breathing a mighty

1232
01:57:35,530 --> 01:57:40,780
fountain momently was forced amid whose
swift half-intermitted burst huge

1233
01:57:40,780 --> 01:57:46,000
fragments vaulted like rebounding hail
or chaffy grain beneath the thresher's

1234
01:57:46,000 --> 01:57:52,300
flail and mid these dancing rocks at
once and ever it flung up momently the

1235
01:57:52,300 --> 01:57:59,200
sacred river five miles meandering with
a

1236
01:57:59,200 --> 01:58:06,180
mazy motion through wood and dale the
sacred river ran then reached

1237
01:58:06,180 --> 01:58:12,670
the caverns measureless to man, and sank
in tumult to a lifeless ocean.

1238
01:58:15,630 --> 01:58:22,350
And mid this tumult Kubla heard from far
ancestral voices prophesying

1239
01:58:22,350 --> 01:58:23,350
war.

1240
01:58:25,230 --> 01:58:30,150
The shadow of the dome of pleasure
floated midway on the waves, where was

1241
01:58:30,150 --> 01:58:33,250
heard the mingled measure from the
fountain and the caves.

1242
01:58:33,630 --> 01:58:36,530
It was a miracle of rare device.

1243
01:58:37,360 --> 01:58:44,100
a sunny pleasure-dome with caves of ice
a

1244
01:58:44,100 --> 01:58:50,960
damsel with a dulcimer in a vision once
i saw it was an abyssinian

1245
01:58:50,960 --> 01:58:55,120
maid and on her dulcimer she played
singing of mount

1246
01:58:57,840 --> 01:59:04,620
could i revive within me her symphony
and song to such a deep delight would

1247
01:59:04,620 --> 01:59:10,240
win me that with music loud and long i
would build that dome in air that sunny

1248
01:59:10,240 --> 01:59:15,220
dome in those caves of ice and all who
heard should see them there and all

1249
01:59:15,220 --> 01:59:21,360
should cry beware beware his flashing
eyes his floating hair weave a circle

1250
01:59:21,360 --> 01:59:27,490
round him thrice and close your eyes
with holy dread For he on honeydew hath

1251
01:59:27,490 --> 01:59:30,150
fed, And drunk the milk of Paradise.
