Did you enjoy the performance,
Commendatore?
1:02:16
Very much.
1:02:18
Allegra, this is Dr Fell,
curator of the Capponi Library.
1:02:22
Signora Pazzi.
1:02:24
I'm honoured.
1:02:25
Are you from America,
Doctor?
1:02:27
Not originally.
I've travelled there.
1:02:30
I've always wanted to visit.
New England, especially.
1:02:33
I've enjoyed many
excellent meals there.
1:02:37
I noticed you wrapped up
in the libretto.
1:02:40
Thought this might amuse you.
1:02:44
Dante's first sonnet
from La Vita Nuova.
1:02:47
It's beautiful.
1:02:50
- Rinaldo, look at this.
- I can see.
1:02:54
"Joyous Love seemed to me...
1:02:57
the while he held
my heart in his hands...
1:03:00
and in his arms...
1:03:01
my lady lay asleep...
1:03:04
wrapped in a veil."
1:03:07
"He woke her then...
1:03:08
and trembling and obedient, she ate
that burning heart out of his hand.
1:03:13
Weeping, I saw him
then depart from me."
1:03:15
Dr Fell, do you believe a man could
become so obsessed with a woman...
1:03:20
from a single encounter?
1:03:23
Could he daily feel
a stab of hunger for her...
1:03:26
and find nourishment
in the very sight of her?
1:03:29
I think so.
1:03:31
But would she see through the bars
of his plight and ache for him?
1:03:35
- Please keep that.
- I couldn't.
1:03:38
I insist.
1:03:49
Goodbye.
1:03:52
- Let's get something to eat.
- Of course.
1:03:55
Why not?
