:28:03
Blindness like a black river...
:28:08
flowing slowly like a melody...
:28:12
towards great falls.
:28:16
On its banks,
trees and flowers...

:28:22
and birds singing sweetly.
:28:27
The other river,
coming from the other side...

:28:32
is as clear as
the purest crystal.

:28:36
This one also flows slowly...
:28:40
but without any sound.
:28:45
Deep down there is a lake...
:28:48
very dark and deep...
:28:54
where the two rivers meet.
:28:59
Where they join,
there are rocks...

:29:07
making the waters foam...
:29:10
afterwards to let them flow...
:29:15
silently and slowly...
:29:18
into that sombre reservoir...
:29:23
which lies in a deadly calm...
:29:27
only troubled by
an occasional ripple...

:29:32
representing the struggle
of the deaf-blind.

:29:37
I don't know
if you can understand this.

:29:41
The rocks who tear the waters...
:29:46
stand for the depression...
:29:51
the blind and the deaf feel...
:29:54
when they become deaf-blind.
:29:58
I can't explain it any better...
