[01:56.39]Of metaphors
[01:59.57]Ooohhh
[02:04.21]For that expression
[02:07.17]Which has been willfully
[02:10.05]Withheld from me
[02:11.76]Withheld from me
[02:14.45]The access to the inner soul denied

[03:36.03]We have all overlooked the propensity
[03:43.53]We saw no need for it
[03:48.08]The paradoxical something which we may call perverseness
[03:54.69]Perverseness
[04:00.00]Through its promptings we act without

[05:18.06]Because we feel that we
[05:19.72]Should not persist in them
[05:24.58]Because we feel we we
[05:26.97]Should not persist per- persist in them ah
