In Budapest, I'd aIready
seen torture.

:57:19
I wondered if I'd
be abIe to bear it.

:57:23
Now my moment had come.
:57:30
The faucets.
:57:35
I knowthat others
endured worse...

:57:37
but I never encountered
any martyrs or screams...

:57:41
so I can't discuss it.
:57:51
I onIy know I forced myseIf
not to yeII...

:57:54
and soon stopped struggIing.
:58:00
Think of anything, quick,
anything to avoid the pain.

:58:03
The sea, the beach, the sun.
:58:04
Think so fast you can't
think of anything.

:58:10
Write to Veronica! Quick!
Don't think about the pain.

:58:13
Quick! Write a Ietter.
Faster yet.

:58:15
Beat the speed of pain.
A Ietter to Veronica...

:58:18
better than the one
Desnos sent his wife.

:58:20
Veronica...
:58:42
What happened?
:58:43
You passed out.
:58:46
Did I cry?
:58:48
Why do you ask?
:58:53
What's going on?
:58:54
He asked if he cried.
:58:56
I wonder why
that interests him.
