"Fifteen miles on the Erie Canal
:14:05
"She's a mighty slow worker
But a good ole pal
:14:08
"Fifteen miles on the Erie Canal
:14:11
"We've pulled some barges in our day
:14:14
"Filled with people callin' 'hey'
:14:17
"Fifteen miles
:14:19
"On the Erie Canal!"
:14:27
But the canal was only the first step
toward the promised land.
:14:31
The next steps were longer and harder.
:14:35
Those who could raise the fare
went by steamboat to the end of the line.
:14:40
Others found a cheaper way
to head for Ohio, Illinois...
:14:43
... and the open spaces beyond.
:15:01
Lilith... listen to this:
:15:04
"Theirs was a poignant parting
in the forest.
:15:08
"The handsome young backwoodsman
carved two hearts on a tree trunk...
:15:12
"... then from ten paces, hurled a knife
at the junction of the two hearts. "
:15:16
Junction, what's that?
:15:19
Well, that's where the two hearts meet.
Now, listen:
:15:22
"His marksmanship was uncanny.
:15:24
"Three times he hurled the knife on target.
:15:28
"'That was for luck', he said the first time.
:15:30
"'That was for love, deep, divine love',
he said the second.
:15:34
"And the third time, 'That was a prayer...
:15:37
"'... a plea for love undying. "'
:15:39
Isn't that beautiful?
:15:42
I reckon. If anybody ever talks like that.
:15:46
Well, it's the sentiments, not the talk.
:15:49
There ain't no sense to you, Eve.
:15:51
You want to be a farm wife
but you don't want to marry a farmer.
:15:54
Neither do you.
:15:56
Of course not.
:15:57
I don't want to have nothin'
to do with farms.
