Some friends,
other writers.
:45:04
Tell me, does the name
José Lezama Lima ring a bell?
:45:09
Virgilio Piñera?
:45:11
Your wife, Fina?
:45:14
Yes.
:45:15
Were they there?
:45:17
Yes, they were there.
:45:19
Are you aware
that Lezama Lima
:45:22
and Virgilio Piñera
are homosexuals?
:45:26
Yes.
:45:38
I am aware of my errors.
:45:45
that are unpardonable,
:45:47
errors that demand
to be severely punished.
:45:52
But I must confess
that I see before me
:45:55
in this room,
:45:57
the faces of many comrades
who like me,
:46:00
have lost their way,
:46:03
whose ideology has waivered,
:46:06
who have committed
similar errors...
:46:09
errors that also demand
to be severely punished.
