Sixteen year-old Gertrud -
my gospel according to love.
:54:58
Remember what you said:
:55:02
There's nothing else in life
but love.
:55:07
Nothing. Nothing else.
:55:12
Do you still stand by
those words? Do you regret them?

l stand by what l said,
:55:24
there's nothing else in life
but youth and love,
:55:30
unending tenderness
and quiet happiness, Axel.
:55:36
When l'm near the grave and
look back on my life,
:55:41
l'll say to myself...
:55:43
l suffered much and often
made mistakes,
:55:49
but l have loved.
:55:52
You think a lot about death
and the grave?
:55:55
Yes, l've already bought
my resting place.
