1:32:01
I heard snatches of television
dialogue:

1:32:05
"Stop that car!"
"I wouldn't do that, Jim"

1:32:10
After that, the howling of a dog...
1:32:14
...rising effortlessly,
in perfect misery

1:32:20
Then I thought I heard a 'plane
1:32:23
Then silence... and I was happy
1:32:27
A garden's silence is made of sounds;
press your ear to a tree and listen

1:32:34
The sounds may be within us;
I'd rather think it's the tree

1:32:40
The silence is broken by
an alien noise...

1:32:44
...disturbing my peace
1:32:47
I close the window, but the noise
persists; it's too much for me

1:32:54
I don't want useless sounds;
I want to select them

1:32:59
Voices and words... there are so many
words I'd rather not hear...

1:33:04
...but you must resign yourself, like
floating on the waves of the sea

1:33:16
May I hear it again?
1:33:47
I've erased it. It was drivel.
I don't take my writing very seriously

1:33:54
Mother says scribbling indoors
ruins the complexion

1:33:59
It's a sin to waste such intelligence
