:12:17
You can go to bed now, Mary.
:12:28
- You'll soon be better.
- I feel almost myself again.
:12:31
When you're strong enough, we'll go
away and forget this horrible experience.
:12:35
Forget? If only I could forget.
:12:38
But it's never out of my mind.
:12:41
I've been cursed for delving
into the mysteries of life.
:12:44
Perhaps death is sacred,
and I've profaned it.
:12:48
For what a wonderful vision it was.
:12:51
I dreamed of being the first to give to the
worid the secret that God is so jealous of.
:12:58
The formula for life.
:13:00
Think of the power to create a man.
:13:05
And I did. I did it. I created a man.
:13:08
And who knows? In time I could
have trained him to do my will.
:13:11
I could have bred a race. I might even
have found the secret of eternal life.
:13:15
Henry, don't say those things. Don't
think them. It's blasphemous and wicked.
:13:20
We are not meant to know those things.
:13:22
It may be that I'm intended
to know the secret of life.
:13:25
It may be part of the divine plan.
:13:28
No, no. It's the devil that prompts you.
:13:32
It's death, not life, that is in it all
and at the end of it all.
:13:35
Listen, while you've been lying here,
tossing in your delirium, I couldn't sleep.
:13:40
And when you rave of your insane desire
:13:43
to create living men
from the dust of the dead,
:13:46
a strange apparition has
seemed to appear in the room.
:13:50
It comes, a figure like Death. And
each time it comes more clearly, nearer.
:13:55
It seems to be reaching out for you,
as if it would take you away from me!
:13:59
There it is. Look.
