Thank you, Mrs. Young.
Thank you.
:23:05
I'd sure like to see
the attic.
:23:08
Then you shall.
:23:11
Come along, young man.
Let's go and find it.
:23:13
Thank you, Major Lewis.
:23:16
Oh. Jack was particularly hoping
that you'd introduce him to your poetry.
:23:24
Now I've got to find
the key.
:23:27
Don't worry. I don't inflict my poems
on innocent strangers.
:23:31
We're not strangers,
I hope.
:23:36
What about some of that
long-promised tea?
:23:39
Yes, please.
:23:41
- You take milk, don't you?
- Yes.
:23:45
No, I'd be interested
to know about your poems.
:23:50
What do you want to know
about them?
:23:52
How long they are?
Their rhyme schemes?
:23:55
- Their major influences?
- Quite right, of course.
:23:58
- Take sugar?
- Sure.
:24:01
No, you're quite right.
:24:04
Well, would you be so kind as to
introduce me to the poems themselves?
:24:09
I'm not sure.
:24:11
I won't be rude about them.
:24:14
What will you do?
Stay silent or tell lies?
:24:18
I shall choose
when I've heard one.
:24:21
All right. I have won a national
poetry award shared with Robert Frost.
:24:27
I'm impressed.
:24:29
Well, let's hope you stay that way.
Let's get this out of the way.
:24:33
I'll give you an early one.
That way I'm covered.
:24:36
I wrote this when I was 22.
Spanish Civil War.
:24:39
It's called "Snow in Madrid."
:24:42
"Softly, so casual.
:24:45
Lovely, so light, so light.
:24:48
The cruel sky lets fall something
one does not fight.
:24:53
Men, while perishing..."
:24:55
Sorry.
