The world of passions is
an unbalanced world.

:55:11
The passionate must be careful
averting their eyes...

:55:16
so they are not blurred
by the rusty red dust.

:55:22
Building a fence,
simply shielding the body...

:55:28
those are the ways...
:55:31
to prevent darkness
from one side...

:55:34
from invading and contaminating
light on the other.

:55:38
Through isolation, we can escape
the dangers of passion.

:55:44
But do not think...
:55:48
we should just always
sit and cross our arms.

:55:51
No one in this house shall rest while
there is land to be tilled.

:55:56
No one in this house shall rest
when walls need building.

:56:03
And let no one shall rest...
:56:09
when a brother is in need.
:56:19
I hadn't left home yet, Pedro...
:56:23
but I saw suspicion
in Mother's eyes.

:56:30
I wanted to tell her:
:56:36
"You are saying farewell now
without knowing me."

:56:43
I could have said:
:56:48
"All I did was nestle in the straw
of your womb for nine months...

:56:54
and receiving for many years the
tender touch of your hands and lips."
