Speaker 3 (00:48):
I have been looking for you.

Speaker 1 (00:52):
Your name, I do not know your name.

Speaker 3 (00:55):
Perhaps you are and I eat this league. You are
Marry Alice, La Jane, you are my ladies, Lebush.

Speaker 1 (01:10):
Where are you? I heard your voice when I was
a child, when I was new in school, when I
was a tender lad onknowing, I heard your voice as
I passed eight times six, nine times sixty three.

Speaker 2 (01:29):
But I pushed the door ajar and looked, and there
was only a schoolroom full of children and a teacher
of the deaths.

Speaker 1 (01:36):
The cadence of your childish voice hung in the sunny
air in the schoolroom.

Speaker 2 (01:40):
But I couldn't find you, And wondering, dreaming, I closed
the door and went my way on.

Speaker 1 (01:47):
To the confusion of another school.

Speaker 2 (01:51):
But your voice was with me, and I have not
forgotten many times I heard your voice love that I.

Speaker 1 (02:00):
Knew there were other girls in my yhood, sweet clean,
limm girls.

Speaker 2 (02:06):
I remember now through the years, Helen with the yellow curl,
Ladys as Hambley.

Speaker 1 (02:15):
Quall it in the life at Kate Darth and dinners
and crippled mind. And my playmates taunted me because I
had no girl of my own. But I smiled a
secret smile as I turned away and walked homeward along
the hell shadowed the flower sweet sweets at night. For

(02:39):
always you were somewhere, and I knew I should find
you one day, somewhere. How many years have passed this.

Speaker 2 (02:51):
Man, how many sundays, how many yesterday, how many heart beats?

Speaker 1 (02:57):
But I knew that I should find you.

Speaker 2 (03:00):
I saw you at a distance, sometimes a gay red
waving school on the beach, a fluttering tart and scarf
on the winter hillsides.

Speaker 1 (03:06):
Against the snow. But when I ran to greet you
and call you mine, you were gone. You had banished.
A day came when I was a young man in
a way to make my fortune my heartache as a
little fation grew smaller in a rapid distance. For I
knew I saw you there, waving farewell was it to.

Speaker 2 (03:28):
Me, and I thought frantically of leaping from the train
and returning.

Speaker 1 (03:33):
But a cloud of dust whirled up behind the train,
and when it was gone, you could vanished. There was
another glimpse of.

Speaker 2 (03:43):
You, I thought, as the train roared through another little town,
and a gay crowd on.

Speaker 4 (03:46):
The station tankforn waved and paws, and I knew then,
I knew that wherever I should go with you would
be off.

Speaker 2 (04:00):
You see my eyes as I thought, perhaps I should
never see your face.

Speaker 1 (04:06):
But always follow you, and never.

Speaker 2 (04:12):
Yes, I was young for love, but I loved you then,
as I loved you that first day, and as.

Speaker 1 (04:21):
I love you now. But I have.

Speaker 5 (04:28):
I knew you followed me.

Speaker 1 (04:30):
I heard your footsteps down the summerdult.

Speaker 5 (04:33):
Street with a flickering old beak, like spending shadows, and
lay the sin of the lilac is that you been
me many times? Why have I never seen you see?

Speaker 1 (04:47):
Or have I soon? I love you.

Speaker 5 (04:51):
I've seen your shadow person never heard I've heard the
distance of cloth as you were always me. My dreams
is you, But you would raid my seeking eyes. He
remember a wide white beach and than and the high
white town when you were alone and I was alone.

(05:14):
I remember, I remember I conjured you about of hours
away with them.

Speaker 1 (05:20):
And the rhythm of the surf.

Speaker 4 (05:21):
Of the peeping of my heart, and the wind the
dunes was your far off master, that I heard.

Speaker 1 (05:27):
And I ran along the beach, stirching.

Speaker 5 (05:29):
Point your prisons young and my house, and I cried out.

Speaker 1 (05:35):
I was posing.

Speaker 5 (05:37):
Then I was afraid. I swam far up from a
lot of ways, became weary.

Speaker 1 (05:43):
I'm hopeless for you. The way fot and the bron
me down. Then I dreamed there was a strong arm,
and I opened my eyes to the sun pe the soul,
and I thought it was not the start of the sea.

Speaker 5 (06:02):
But the spinning of a savings. But you were gone,
and I knew my life is yours. And I was
very interesting for a little while, and very.

Speaker 1 (06:16):
Where is the stay? I dreamed that you would the
se I dreamed that you were staring. I dreamed. But
I swam out and took you in my arms and
brought you to the shore, and I kissed you.

Speaker 2 (06:32):
But there was darkness somewhere, darkness that hid your face
from me.

Speaker 1 (06:37):
And when I awoke, I too felt assault of your
face some mine because I never deceived, never to hold
you in my arms. In life, I thought to figures you.
I thought that my mind was sick, and I dreamed
in my waking hour. But which was the dreaming and

(06:58):
which reality? And how could I escape the region?

Speaker 2 (07:07):
Always I was punted taut, But I thought that you
were in there around the corner, waiting, perhaps with a
smile of rock.

Speaker 1 (07:14):
And when I should find it, hums, I remember when
did you walk down and avenue?

Speaker 5 (07:26):
No, the lights were golden from the window, and the
bell's pans in the climb.

Speaker 1 (07:34):
Peace were filling. The seerful people.

Speaker 5 (07:36):
Were her epily on the way.

Speaker 1 (07:40):
I was nap, we.

Speaker 5 (07:43):
Had didn't shape, and the swirling snows and I followed you.
And when you could hear of the storm with a cheerful,
flaming class.

Speaker 1 (07:51):
From the people on the street and the hockos. There's
no one I am alone.

Speaker 5 (08:02):
Which you'll never find other. When I wept mightily there
it was your hand that went away much.

Speaker 1 (08:12):
I dreamed of a woman and I just rided as
she said, you went away. We were new to the war.

Speaker 2 (08:24):
Fus the season, and even as the reluctant bells rang
in the new year, I went away. I remember the
gloomy cold station.

Speaker 1 (08:34):
I remember the unhappiness stuff scoffolding two.

Speaker 2 (08:37):
Dozen months suspended, awaking the lights of the city to
have grasped the cards. There were a few to see
us off at New Year's Eve, a policeman what the silently,
and an old man who offered at the buffer and
mumbled at his days for the wars of Subnet. And

(09:00):
while there he left behind him and the group of
the lated cuss turning awakeness to study.

Speaker 1 (09:07):
The black train arrived, and as they closed the doors
of the Christmas.

Speaker 2 (09:13):
A fat woman pounding on the window, mouthing patic good
byes to a little man who turned away from.

Speaker 1 (09:22):
But when our train began to move from the station,
and a glimpse of a.

Speaker 2 (09:24):
Woman standing alone under a dusty electric light on the path.
And then I knew, as I remembered once before, that
I could never wholly go away from you, and we
belonged to each other, though I might never hear.

Speaker 1 (09:44):
I was close to death many times in the world.

Speaker 2 (09:49):
Castley passed when John Sutherland and I were alone one
night with ram Odamer on the side of the hidden room,
and at last we knew they were coming on one
of the end of the day, while.

Speaker 1 (09:57):
The other went back and back. I was afraid to
say so. My argument was John enough, having cried of
my terror, saying, I would say, while he should come
back to what might me say too? But he was tired,
he said, and I was not. And he would say,

(10:18):
And so I went, and twenty six went from him.
I heard the eighty eight smashed. I spoke to him
and child in spring when I was coming. That that
night I lay in the hospital town. Something happened. I
had no voice to call, and in the last a

(10:40):
nurse came hurt. It was you. But when morning came,
I saw the same familiar and this had known to day.

Speaker 5 (10:49):
She was excuse, and I awakened him.

Speaker 1 (10:51):
Did you watch her? From me? All those years? Was
as your voice? I sometimes heard in a still night?
Have you loved me so as I have luck? What
I have been looking for you for so long?

Speaker 2 (11:12):
But such a time went by, such a long, weary
time since I came home.

Speaker 1 (11:18):
There were There was one moment I was standing on
the deck when I say I was looking for There
were hundreds of boats around us.

Speaker 2 (11:32):
Most were great painted times, welcoming some of us homes,
and there was none for me. But I hope that perhaps.

Speaker 1 (11:39):
Among all those who come to meet them.

Speaker 4 (11:41):
In In the.

Speaker 2 (11:45):
We were past the Statue of Liberty, nosing over to
the North River, where we were the guns and.

Speaker 1 (11:50):
The very boats of Jersey cut across our bows. I
merely glanced at it, and I saw you. That was
a happy homecoming. But when I came back from New York,
when I thought my un farmer went to work again,

(12:11):
you were. I searched for you. I looked for you
every where. Were you? What had happened? I saw you.

Speaker 5 (12:33):
They said in the hospital that I would never get well.
I heard the do this talking, and at night sometimes
I talked to you, but I knew you didn't hear me.

Speaker 6 (12:44):
The cord was broken.

Speaker 1 (12:46):
I couldn't breach you.

Speaker 5 (12:49):
I saw you in the many times.

Speaker 1 (12:57):
I had buried myself in my work. They said, whatever
the world was, I've forgotten. I'd forgotten everything that I loved,
and I tried to forget that.

Speaker 2 (13:08):
But I was afraid that you were gone for me
for this, and I should never see you, never hear
your voice again, never know your nearness.

Speaker 1 (13:16):
As I had grown from me, I tried to lose.

Speaker 2 (13:20):
The thought of you amongst seven millions of people among
the high buildings.

Speaker 1 (13:24):
And in the sounds of the city around me, and
I almost succeeded. But then I saw it.

Speaker 2 (13:35):
I know you, remember where I saw you, in the
very center of the town, surrounded by men and women
of a hundred races, in the midst of a travel
of sound, in the midst of the sparaco never ending motions,
in colors.

Speaker 1 (13:50):
And darkness and flashing spearing light.

Speaker 7 (13:54):
It was a summer evening, hot and gems. Then the
stead of lightning and sullen thunder, and the clouds.

Speaker 1 (14:11):
That powered over the bus.

Speaker 2 (14:15):
The voice of the strong quickened, crumbling over the swelling
down of the city, and the lightning crackling the rest.

Speaker 1 (14:23):
I was on my way home after this department. In
the office.

Speaker 2 (14:27):
Are one of the beaten, hungry millions at the end
of a colorless, unhappy day. And the sub the crowds,
the guards pushing the milling crowds into the air lift,
the stuffy cars, the thing stopping far on the ground where.

Speaker 1 (14:45):
Only blind animals should live.

Speaker 2 (14:48):
Bodies backed against feverish bodies, tired eyes looking inwardly toward.

Speaker 1 (14:52):
The comforts of home and cool.

Speaker 2 (14:54):
Drinks and less ad rest and outside the windows, walls
too close, seating him.

Speaker 1 (15:01):
Bank with moistures, and a sudden flash of stations.

Speaker 2 (15:04):
As we roar through the more and more exten bodies
playing against bodies, suffocation and the sudden fear that comes
like a clutching nightmare deep undergrowl.

Speaker 1 (15:12):
We're going to fan now beans of goose sparks outside
the open windows, the actual smell of burning rubbers with.

Speaker 2 (15:20):
Panic clutching hands, use the fish beating, screaming faces, the
stream of torchet break, light, flickering, and time. And in
the last seconds before the crack, you.

Speaker 1 (15:36):
I saw you. I had turned I remember to escape
a man's fingers clawing at my eyes. I saw you
inches away from yet a.

Speaker 2 (15:50):
Continent of wind, blonde hair rippling in the SETI seed red.

Speaker 1 (15:55):
Lists of sparks, not in fear, but in wrapping, almost smile.
I shouted your name. Did I know your name? Godness,
you knew, didn't you? You saved my life? But you
said you turned your head just as the crash came. Yes,

(16:15):
I turned my head to look at you and steel rod. Yes,
grace your part.

Speaker 2 (16:20):
If you hadn't turned your head, I looked at you
as providential young man.

Speaker 1 (16:23):
It was you.

Speaker 5 (16:34):
I knew you were then among only a lot of
wit men and women. You knew you women, and I
saw you in the last flickerings, the.

Speaker 1 (16:46):
Last, and then you were gone forever. I think.

Speaker 5 (16:54):
I thought you died in the subway. For long months
you were dead.

Speaker 1 (17:00):
My mind was used to think of you. I couldn't
take to your piece as but now I know I
was near you unt.

Speaker 5 (17:09):
I entered a restaurant as you left.

Speaker 1 (17:11):
I left the elevator at the fourteenth floor.

Speaker 5 (17:13):
One day, I got on at the fifteen.

Speaker 1 (17:16):
I turned to look in the shop window as you
passed by.

Speaker 5 (17:18):
I picked up a book at Bantana's If you just
played down, and I knew who I think.

Speaker 1 (17:22):
And the bus driver gave me change that had come
from your price.

Speaker 5 (17:25):
And I knew you sat behind me of the last
eight months at a commity hall.

Speaker 1 (17:29):
And I dreamed that night the telephones was a grand center.
Your perfume still was there all those long months. There
were long.

Speaker 2 (17:46):
Times when I never saw times I'm afraid when I
all the production, and then I see a picture of me,
I happy to use elevating something on my can, and
there you were.

Speaker 1 (18:00):
There was your faith dim and smudged with a hat
turned away from me in about and I was off.

Speaker 4 (18:07):
Off to walk in the park, hoping to get a
book that room for me, with a long years off
for puck fall on Third Avenue.

Speaker 2 (18:16):
Drinking atween put Fellows and PJ Foss, listening to the
cadence of a voice with knights down.

Speaker 1 (18:22):
House the days and off on the top of a fifth,
thousand of bucks, off on the step and there or
an expedition to the theater, crowded us. Oh my lord,
I'm heavier, I said, I never know your name. I'd
lay away to night and go over all the word

(18:44):
means I ever heard of it. That was darn Elizabeth,
thankful down through with me, thy fine, and I'd make
resolutes I went out with, but I found myself becoming

(19:09):
bored with other grits.

Speaker 2 (19:10):
I looked for you and them, and I became short
of speaks, quarrelses, and not ill tegle them out.

Speaker 1 (19:17):
I kept to myself more.

Speaker 2 (19:19):
And more, More and more times in Central Plats till
a very ice dream, vendors greeted me as an.

Speaker 1 (19:24):
Older quaint and more and more times along this album,
the late at night up pastically to downtath the empire,
hopefully listening, appearing anxiously at everyone. I went away on
long tip by myself. A fath thought of me and
heard good distance plaster.

Speaker 2 (19:44):
I thought, I thought you'd framed in the window of
the same and passed mind when you were here, I
didn't see.

Speaker 1 (19:54):
Night. Some times later than could status, I close the
door and shut the city out. I was afraid to see.

Speaker 6 (20:06):
The pain, the dream that came so often. An empty room,
dark high.

Speaker 2 (20:19):
Walls, a little flight of stairs leading to an open door,
and beyond the door of saddening.

Speaker 1 (20:26):
Knight and fell, and the light guarded into the flight
of death. My boy bechoes in the silence the gloomy room.
Where are you, love? Where are you? On your You

(20:48):

(21:19):
I turned the seat. Whom is that an other set?
I can go no farther? I struggling. There's something that
holds me back, and a voice that whispers in my
ears that fight.

Speaker 2 (21:33):
It's the force that holds me, But I cannot move?
What is beyond the door where the light is?

Speaker 1 (21:38):
Do you wait for me? Why cannot if I cannot move?

my ears. I awake ten minutes the other and I

blinded me, And again I woke. Then did this mean
that I assumed the quire am? I could see to hold.

Speaker 1 (23:16):
You in my arms? How can I be? I sat
a little, and the dream did not return.

Speaker 2 (23:30):
It was raining when I awoke, The quiet towel round,
and the light in the street was the color of
the light in the room beyond the door.

Speaker 1 (23:38):
