| [00:51.98] | here was a country by the sea |
| [00:56.76] | but I cannot say for certain |
| [01:01.59] | whether it was part of a lonely isle |
| [01:05.77] | or merely some coastal region. |
| [01:10.40] | A landing-stage of rotten blanks stretched carefully into the waves |
| [01:19.15] | and for one moment I did wonder |
| [01:23.53] | what frightening purpose it might serve. |
| [01:28.11] | Oh，heavy, roaring |
| [01:30.86] | endless seas |
| [01:32.64] | what secrets does this rage entomb? |
| [01:37.02] | Have ancient memories or hungry ghosts |
| [01:41.86] | gathered all their strength |
| [01:43.69] | to call for this storm? |
| [01:49.14] | Deep-seated gardens |
| [01:51.38] | almost a labyrinth |
| [01:53.56] | walled in by ruins and rocks ivy-clad |
| [01:58.04] | perhaps this strange place had once been a palace |
| [02:01.86] | where now viole(n)t bushes bear dark thorns instead. |
| [02:07.35] | A young boy was taking me by the hand |
| [02:10.67] | and unerringly he was leading me down below the gardens |
| [02:18.04] | which I hardly remembered |
| [02:20.43] | the moment I took the first step underground. |
| [02:24.20] | We came to a room with only small windows |
| [02:28.88] | and to my suprise I could somehow still hear |
| [02:33.06] | though reduced to a murmur |
| [02:35.19] | now chant-like and humming |
| [02:37.59] | to once savage voice of the roaring sea. |
| [03:10.01] | The boy has built a catacomb |
| [03:16.07] | he is living in a tomb |
| [03:22.63] | below the ground |
| [03:25.22] | where there's no sound |
| [03:28.65] | he is hiding from the world. |
| [04:28.34] | Something resembling an altar was built there |
| [04:32.87] | a secret overshadowed structure and use |
| [04:37.08] | underneath |
| [04:38.30] | in inanimate self-contemplation |
| [04:41.66] | lay a jet-black mass of coal-like granules. |
| [04:46.06] | Yet, this dark material had an unearthly lightness |
| [04:50.85] | and when I touched it, to feel what it was |
| [04:55.08] | it did seem to totally ignore my presence… |
| [04:59.75] | without leaving a trace |
| [05:01.49] | it came trickling off. |
| [05:03.93] | Then out of a sudden from under the barrow something appeared |
| [05:10.71] | unexpectedly: |
| [05:13.62] | it was the bones of the little boy's mother |
| [05:17.63] | which he had placed with greatest care underneath |
| [05:47.99] | The boy has built a catacomb |
| [05:53.89] | he is living in a tomb |
| [05:59.90] | below the ground |
| [06:02.59] | where there's no sound |
| [06:05.85] | he is hiding from the world |
| [07:02.18] | There must have been something in my look(s) |
| [07:06.51] | 'cause the little boy started to speak |
| [07:11.14] | and to my unvoiced Question of why he had done this |
| [07:15.52] | he answered these words to me: |
| [07:20.31] | "This is the only way I can be save from her |
| [07:25.36] | only this can guarantee |
| [07:28.97] | that she will not rise again |
| [07:32.50] | because when she does |
| [07:34.54] | she is always following me. |
| [07:38.71] | There's just no alternative |
| [07:41.57] | I cannot escape from her |
| [07:43.96] | because as soon as I try |
| [07:47.62] | she will get up again |
| [07:50.21] | merely to haunt me… |
| [07:51.89] | oh, believe me |
| [07:53.32] | I have tried numerous times! |
| [07:56.79] | But here in these vaults I have finally found something that works like a seal |
| [08:05.39] | these jet-black granules do keep me from harm |
| [08:09.66] | and her bones can no longer hurt me. |
| [08:14.40] | Piled up in a certain |
| [08:16.58] | specific form |
| [08:18.78] | all the remains must be covered with it |
| [08:22.95] | then everything keeps still and for a brief moment I can pretend |
| [08:29.72] | that she does not exist. |
| [08:32.11] | Yet, all the time I must be on my guards |
| [08:36.49] | because now and then it can happen indeed |
| [08:40.97] | that frequently the earth does tremble and shaken |
| [08:45.80] | and some of the stones are Starting to slip. |
| [08:52.36] | So, constantly I have to control the barrow |
| [08:57.33] | the jet-black darkness of the coal-like mass |
| [09:01.78] | in order to be there |
| [09:04.22] | to repair the damage |
| [09:06.36] | to pile all back safely and to replace..." |
| [09:57.02] | The boy has built a catacomb |
| [10:02.87] | he is living in a tomb |
| [10:08.82] | below the ground |
| [10:11.78] | where there's no sound |

| [10:21.94] | It took me a while to realize that we all have secrets and fears… |
| [10:33.74] | - is it then a surprise that we close our minds |
