:49:02
They were English soldiers.
:49:05
I cut one with my knife, but they
hit me on the head with a rifle.
:49:10
All went black.
:49:12
My spirit seemed
to leave me.
:49:17
- I was then taken east...
:49:20
in a cage.
:49:23
I was taken to Toronto,
then philadelphia...
:49:27
and then to New York.
:49:30
And each time I arrived
in another city,
:49:33
somehow the white men
had moved...
:49:36
all their people there
ahead of me.
:49:40
Each new city contained
the same white people as the last,
:49:44
and I could not understand
how a whole city of people...
:49:47

so quickly.
:49:52
Eventually, I was
taken on a ship...

in this young savage,
:50:16
but their interest
only grew.
:50:19
So they placed me into
the white man's schools.
:50:23
It was there
that I discovered...
:50:25
in a book...
:50:28
the words that you,
William Blake, had written.
:50:33
They were powerful words,
and they spoke to me.
:50:39
But I made careful plans,
and I eventually escaped.
:50:46
Once again, I crossed
the great ocean.
:50:51
I saw many sad things...
:50:53
as I made my way back
to the lands of my people.
:50:57
Once they realized
who I was,
