...long ago.
1:09:05
I saw all the nations strengthening...
1:09:08
...not in wisdom, but in the vulgar passions
and the will to destroy.
1:09:15
I saw their machine power multiplying...
1:09:17
...until a single-weaponed man
might match a whole army.
1:09:25
I foresaw a time when man,
exulting in the technique of murder...
1:09:30
...would rage so hotly over the world...
1:09:33
...that every book, every treasure
would be doomed to destruction.
1:09:41
This vision was so vivid and so moving...
1:09:47
...that I determined to gather together
all things of beauty...
1:09:51
...and culture that I could
and preserve them here...
1:09:57
...against the doom
toward which the world is rushing.
1:10:02
Look at the world today.
1:10:05
ls there anything more pitiful?
1:10:08
What madness there is, what blindness,
what unintelligent leadership.
1:10:14
A scurrying mass of bewildered humanity
crashing headlong against each other...
1:10:20
...compelled by an orgy
of greed and brutality.
1:10:30
The time must come, my friend...
1:10:34
...when this orgy will spend itself.
1:10:37
When brutality and the lust for power...
1:10:41
...must perish by its own sword.
1:10:48
Against that time is why I avoided death
and am here...
1:10:56
...and why you were brought here.
