[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
[10:14.88]	he is hiding from the terrible world
[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
[10:39.57]	from the pain that is causing these tears ?
[10:46.23]	he boy has built a catacomb
[10:52.18]	he is living in a tomb
[10:57.48]	far below the ground
[11:00.92]	where there's no sound
[11:04.08]	he is hiding from the
[11:06.29]	terrible world…
