because if silence is golden,
then music must be made of diamonds.

…it’s time to tell the world…

used to be so sweet to me...

and what about the deal on the flying trapeze?.

. Moses, i know —
. i know you’ve seen fire.
. But you’ve never seen fire
. until you’ve seen Pele blow.

By now you should’ve somehow
realized what you gotta do…

and all the lights that lead the way are blinding.

i’m sure you’ve heard it all before,
but you never really had a doubt.

Dear Sir or Madam,

Will you read my book?
It took me years to write —
will you take a look?

It’s a thousand pages, give or take a few —
i’ll be writing more in a week or two.
i can make it longer if you like the style.
i can change it ’round,
and i want to be a paperback writer…

filmed at Chiswick House, London ~ May 20, 1966

Não vou lamentar, o que passou passou.

i’m not sad to go, what has passed has passed.

i watch the ripples change their size, but never leave the stream...

Eu vou embora, meu tempo acabou.
Tenho muita coisa para descobrir.

i go even so, my time finished.
i have many things to discover.

Beatrice got a phonograph
and it won’t play a lonesome word.

What evil have i done?
What evil has the poor girl heard?

Robert Leroy Johnson (1911-1938)

i want to wind your little phonograph
just to hear your little motor moan.

. The thing about Robert Johnson
. was that he only existed on his records.
. He was pure legend.
