-The scarlet tanager.
-lt's, ''What is the scarlet tanager?''
:57:04
What is the scarlet tanager?.
:57:06
Gotta know the rules to play.
:57:08
lt was written by a writer
you have never heard of.
:57:12
''Thy duty, winged flame of spring
:57:16
ls but to love and fly and sing.''
:57:19
He was writing about the song
of the tanager.
:57:22
A song about new seasons, new life.
:57:27
That's James Lowell, man.
:57:29
l know who he is.
:57:32
''l'll stay with 'Poor Assumptions'
for 800, Alex.''
:57:36
You ever see any
scarlet tanagers around here?
:57:39
They don't stray that far
from the park.
:57:47
So your professor wasn't exactly
full of praise this afternoon.
:57:51
No, not exactly.
:57:54
Well, there's something you should
know about Robert Crawford.
:57:59
He wrote a book
a few years after mine.
:58:02
And all the publishers rejected it,
which was the right decision.
:58:06
And instead of writing another one...
:58:10
...he took a job
teaching others how to write.
:58:15
How you know all that?
:58:17
Just keep in mind that
bitterly disappointed teachers...
:58:20
...can be either very effective
or very dangerous.
