:58:01
Moses, do not enter!
:58:02
There is only
sorrow here.
:58:04
Are you comforting it,
my mother?
:58:06
I followed you here to find
this woman Yochabe...
:58:17
You were the woman who was
caught between the stones.
:58:22
Until you came.
:58:24
My son, if you love
me, you will...
:58:25
I love you, my mother,
:58:27
but am I your son...
:58:32
or yours?
:58:34
No, you are not my son.
:58:39
If you believe
:58:40
that men and
women are cattle
:58:42
to be driven
under the lash,
:58:45
if you can bow
before idols of stone
:58:49
and golden images
of beasts,
:58:53
you are not my son.
:58:58
My son would be a slave.
:59:04
His hands would be gnarled
:59:06
and broken
from the brick pits,
:59:09
his back scarred from
the taskmaster's whip,
:59:13
but in his heart
would burn the spirit
:59:16
of the living God.
:59:18
Does this god
:59:19
demand a scarred back
and broken hands
:59:21
as the price of his favor?
:59:23
This desert god is the hope
of the hopeless.
:59:26
Your place is
in the palace halls.
:59:28
You have mounted
to the sun on golden wings.
:59:32
You belong to me,
:59:33
to Nefretiri, to Sethi,
:59:35
to all those who love you.
:59:36
Do they love less
who have no hope?
:59:43
Will you swear
in the name of this god
:59:46
that you are
not my mother?
:59:49
We do not
even know his name.
:59:55
Then look into my eyes
:59:57
and tell me you
are not my mother.
