convinces us that there
is only one freedom

:05:04
of any importance whatsoever...
that of the mind...

:05:08
and gives us the assurance,
:05:11
the confidence,
to walk the path our mind...

:05:14
our educated mind... offers.

## I shall tell him
all my love #

:05:23
# All my soul's adoration #
:05:27
# And I think he will hear me #
:05:31
# And will not say me nay #
:05:35
# It is this
that gives my soul #

:05:39
# All its joyous elation #
:05:44
# As I hear
the sweet lark sing #

:05:49
# In the clear air
of the day ##

:05:55
Yes, of course,
there's something fishy

:05:56
about describing
people's feelings.

:05:58
You try hard to be accurate,
but as soon as you

:06:00
start to define such and such a
feeling, language lets you down.

:06:03
It's really a machine
for making falsehoods.

:06:05
When we really speak the truth,
words are insufficient.

:06:07
Almost everything except
things like "pass the gravy"

:06:10
is a lie of a sort.
:06:11
And that being the case,
I shall shut up.

:06:16
Oh, and... pass the gravy.
:06:22
But love,
which is unsatisfying...

:06:25
and real love... extreme
love... once it's recognised...

:06:28
has the stamp
of the indubitable...

:06:30
Ah, John. I may call
you John, mayn't I?
Meet Miss Murdoch.

:06:33
Iris, my dear, John Bayley,
one of the more promising

:06:35
young lecturers
in the English school.

:06:38
Though I called him out
over Old-English grammar,

:06:40
his weaker side, I fear,
:06:42
a minor question of
Anglo-Saxon syntax.

:06:45
Wine.
:06:49
I mean, went down
the wrong way.

:06:53
Yes, I like that.
:06:55
There is a right way down,
of course.

:06:57
Amazing how most of us find it
without even thinking about it.
