8. I am Death.Copy !req
9. You have come for me?Copy !req
10. I have been at your side
for a long time.Copy !req
11. I know.Copy !req
12. Are you prepared?Copy !req
13. My flesh is afraid, but I am not.Copy !req
14. Wait a moment.Copy !req
15. You all say that.
But I give no respite.Copy !req
16. You play chess, do you not?Copy !req
17. How do you know that?Copy !req
18. I have seen it in paintings.Copy !req
19. Yes, I am quite a skilful player.Copy !req
20. But no more so than I.Copy !req
21. Why do you wish to play chess with me?Copy !req
22. - That's my concern.
- You're quite right.Copy !req
23. As long as I resist you, I live.Copy !req
24. If I win, you set me free.Copy !req
25. Black for you!Copy !req
26. It becomes me well.Copy !req
27. Between a strumpet's legs I lie.Copy !req
28. That's the place for such as I.Copy !req
29. The Lord is up aloft, you know.Copy !req
30. But Satan finds us here below.Copy !req
31. There's talk of omens
and other horrors.Copy !req
32. Two horses had devoured each other...Copy !req
33. graves gaped wide
and bones lay about.Copy !req
34. Four suns were in the sky.Copy !req
35. Where is the inn?Copy !req
36. Did he show you the way?Copy !req
37. Not exactly.Copy !req
38. - What did he say?
- Nothing.Copy !req
39. - Was he mute?
- No, milord.Copy !req
40. He was most eloquent.Copy !req
41. Indeed.Copy !req
42. But very gloomy.Copy !req
43. Have you had breakfast?Copy !req
44. Pity I can't eat grass.Copy !req
45. You must teach me.Copy !req
46. We're feeling the pinch.Copy !req
47. People here are not interested in art.Copy !req
48. Mary! I have seen something!Copy !req
49. What has happened?Copy !req
50. A vision. It was quite real.Copy !req
51. You and your visions!Copy !req
52. I saw her anyway.Copy !req
53. Who?Copy !req
54. The Virgin Mary.Copy !req
55. Did you really see her?Copy !req
56. I could have touched her.Copy !req
57. With her crown of gold
and her blue robe.Copy !req
58. She was holding the Child
and teaching Him to walk.Copy !req
59. When she saw me, she smiled.Copy !req
60. I had tears in my eyes.Copy !req
61. And when I wiped them away,
she was gone.Copy !req
62. And there was a great silence...Copy !req
63. in heaven and on earth.Copy !req
64. The things you make up!Copy !req
65. You don't believe me, but it was true.Copy !req
66. It's not the reality you see,
but another kind.Copy !req
67. Like the Devil
painting the wheels red...Copy !req
68. and using his tail as a brush.Copy !req
69. Why did you remind me?Copy !req
70. And you had red paint under your nails.Copy !req
71. Well, I did make that up...Copy !req
72. so that you would believe
my other visions.Copy !req
73. Mind you're not taken for a fool.Copy !req
74. Because you're not. At least not yet.Copy !req
75. It's not my fault if I hear voices...Copy !req
76. and see the Virgin, and if angels
and devils like my company.Copy !req
77. I have told you once and for all...Copy !req
78. I must have sleep in the mornings!Copy !req
79. I have asked you, but nothing helps.
Now will you shut up!Copy !req
80. I want a better life for Michael.Copy !req
81. He is going to be a great acrobat.Copy !req
82. Or a juggler who does
the one impossible trick.Copy !req
83. What trick is that?Copy !req
84. Make a ball stand still in the air.Copy !req
85. - But that's impossible.
- Yes, for us, but not for him.Copy !req
86. Always daydreaming!Copy !req
87. I've written a song.Copy !req
88. Do you want to hear it?Copy !req
89. Yes. I'm very curious.Copy !req
90. A dove on a branch.Copy !req
91. At Midsummer time.Copy !req
92. She sang so sweetly of Jesus Christ.Copy !req
93. In heaven is great rejoicing.Copy !req
94. Are you asleep?Copy !req
95. - It was a lovely song.
- It's not finished.Copy !req
96. I heard, but I'll sleep a bit more.
Sing me the rest later.Copy !req
97. You just sleep and sleep.Copy !req
98. Is this a mask for an actor?Copy !req
99. The priests pay well, so I play.Copy !req
100. Going to play Death?Copy !req
101. Scaring decent folk out of their wits.Copy !req
102. When are we to perform?Copy !req
103. At the Saints' Festival in Elsinore.Copy !req
104. We will perform on the church steps.Copy !req
105. Why not something bawdy?
People like it better.Copy !req
106. They say the plague stalks the land.Copy !req
107. The priests speculate in sudden death
and moral bellyache.Copy !req
108. What parts are we playing?Copy !req
109. A fool like you can play the Human Soul.Copy !req
110. Not a good part.Copy !req
111. Who decides? I'm the director
of the troupe.Copy !req
112. "Your life, O fool..."Copy !req
113. "hangs by a thread."Copy !req
114. "Short is your day."Copy !req
115. Will the women love me in this get-up?Copy !req
116. Well, what is it?Copy !req
117. Don't move. Don't speak.Copy !req
118. I'm as silent as the grave.Copy !req
119. I love you.Copy !req
120. What is this supposed to be?Copy !req
121. The Dance of Death.Copy !req
122. - And this is Death.
- Yes, he dances with them.Copy !req
123. Why all this daubing?Copy !req
124. To remind people of death.Copy !req
125. That won't make them any happier.Copy !req
126. Why make them happy?
Why not scare them?Copy !req
127. Then they won't look at your picture.Copy !req
128. Yes, they will.Copy !req
129. A skull is more interesting
than a naked woman.Copy !req
130. If you scare them...Copy !req
131. - They'll think...
- Then they think.Copy !req
132. - And are still more scared.
- And fall into the arms of the priests.Copy !req
133. - That's not my business.
- You're only painting your picture.Copy !req
134. I paint life as it is.
Then folk can do as they like.Copy !req
135. That makes people angry.Copy !req
136. Then I paint something funny.Copy !req
137. A man must live.Copy !req
138. At least till the plague takes him.Copy !req
139. The plague. Ugh!Copy !req
140. You should see the abscess...Copy !req
141. the limbs knotted in frenzy.Copy !req
142. Unpleasant.Copy !req
143. They try to tear out the boils...Copy !req
144. they bite their hands...Copy !req
145. scratch open their veins...Copy !req
146. scream in agony.Copy !req
147. Did I scare you?Copy !req
148. Scared? You don't know me.Copy !req
149. What's that rubbish there?Copy !req
150. People think the plague...Copy !req
151. is a punishment from God.Copy !req
152. Crowds wander the land
lashing each other...Copy !req
153. to please the Lord.Copy !req
154. Lashing each other?Copy !req
155. Yes, it's a horrible sight.Copy !req
156. You feel like hiding when they pass.Copy !req
157. Give me a gin.
I've had nothing but water.Copy !req
158. I feel as thirsty as a desert camel.Copy !req
159. Scared after all?Copy !req
160. I want to confess as best I can...Copy !req
161. but my heart is void.Copy !req
162. The void is a mirror.Copy !req
163. I see my face...Copy !req
164. and feel loathing and horror.Copy !req
165. My indifference to men
has shut me out.Copy !req
166. I live now in a world of ghosts...Copy !req
167. a prisoner in my dreams.Copy !req
168. - Yet you do not want to die.
- Yes, I do.Copy !req
169. What are you waiting for?Copy !req
170. Knowledge.Copy !req
171. You want an guarantee.Copy !req
172. Call it what you will.Copy !req
173. Is it so hard to conceive God
with one's senses?Copy !req
174. Why must He hide in a midst
of vague promises...Copy !req
175. and invisible miracles?Copy !req
176. How are we to believe the believers
when we don't believe ourselves?Copy !req
177. What will become of us
who want to believe, but cannot?Copy !req
178. And what of those
who neither will nor can believe?Copy !req
179. Why can I not kill God within me?Copy !req
180. Why does He go on living
in a painful, humiliating way?Copy !req
181. I want to tear Him out of my heart...Copy !req
182. but He remains a mocking reality...Copy !req
183. which I cannot get rid of.Copy !req
184. - Do you hear me?
- I hear you.Copy !req
185. I want knowledge. Not belief.
Not surmise. But knowledge.Copy !req
186. I want God to put out His hand...Copy !req
187. show His face, speak to me.Copy !req
188. But He is silent.Copy !req
189. I cry to Him in the dark,
but there seems to be no one there.Copy !req
190. Perhaps there is no one there.Copy !req
191. Then life is a senseless terror.Copy !req
192. No man can live with Death
and know that everything is nothing.Copy !req
193. Most people think neither
of Death nor nothingness.Copy !req
194. Until they stand on the edge of life
and see the Darkness.Copy !req
195. Ah, that day.Copy !req
196. I see.Copy !req
197. We must make an idol of our fear...Copy !req
198. and call it God.Copy !req
199. You are uneasy.Copy !req
200. Death visited me this morning.Copy !req
201. We are playing chess.Copy !req
202. This respite enables me
to perform a vital errand.Copy !req
203. What errand?Copy !req
204. My whole life has been
a meaningless search.Copy !req
205. I say it without bitterness
or self-reproach.Copy !req
206. I know it is the same for all.Copy !req
207. But I want to use my respite
for one significant action.Copy !req
208. So you play chess with Death?Copy !req
209. He is a skilful tactician...Copy !req
210. but I have not yet lost one piece.Copy !req
211. How can you outwit Death?Copy !req
212. By a combination
of bishop and knight...Copy !req
213. I will break his flank.Copy !req
214. I shall remember that.Copy !req
215. Traitor! You have tricked me!Copy !req
216. But I'll find a way out.Copy !req
217. We will resume our game
at the inn.Copy !req
218. This is my hand. I can move it.Copy !req
219. The blood is pulsing in my veins.Copy !req
220. The sun is still at the zenith...Copy !req
221. and I, Antonius Block...Copy !req
222. am playing chess with Death!Copy !req
223. My master and I have been abroad.Copy !req
224. The Crusades?Copy !req
225. Ten years in the Holy Land...Copy !req
226. bitten by snakes and flies...Copy !req
227. slaughtered by savages,
poisoned by bad wine...Copy !req
228. made lousy by women,
rotting with fever...Copy !req
229. all for the glory of God.Copy !req
230. The glory of God.Copy !req
231. Our crusade was so stupid...Copy !req
232. that only an idealist
could have thought it out.Copy !req
233. That was horrid about the plague.Copy !req
234. It's worse than that.Copy !req
235. Whichever way we turn,
our backside's behind us.Copy !req
236. Backside behind,
how true, how true.Copy !req
237. Here's squire Jöns.
He grins at Death...Copy !req
238. chuckles at the Lord,
laughs at himself...Copy !req
239. and smiles at the girls.Copy !req
240. His world exists only for himself.Copy !req
241. Absurd to all, even to himself.Copy !req
242. Meaningless in heaven,
indifferent in hell.Copy !req
243. What's that stinking soup good for?Copy !req
244. She has had carnal knowledge
of the Evil One.Copy !req
245. And now she's in the stocks.Copy !req
246. She's to be burnt tomorrow.
But we must keep the Devil away.Copy !req
247. With the aid of that stinking muck?Copy !req
248. Blood and gall of a black dog.Copy !req
249. The Evil One can't stand the smell.Copy !req
250. Nor can I.Copy !req
251. Have you seen the Devil?Copy !req
252. - You must not talk to her.
- Is that so dangerous?Copy !req
253. She is thought to be the cause
of the plague.Copy !req
254. Fate is a villain.Copy !req
255. And you're a poor wretch.Copy !req
256. Now bounding with glee.Copy !req
257. Now crawling with worms.Copy !req
258. Must you sing?Copy !req
259. What?Copy !req
260. Surprised that I steal from the dead?Copy !req
261. A profitable trade nowadays.Copy !req
262. It's no use telling tales.Copy !req
263. It's everyone for himself.Copy !req
264. Don't scream.
No one will hear you.Copy !req
265. Isn't that surprising?Copy !req
266. I know you.
You're Raval, the seminarist.Copy !req
267. You're Doctor Mirabilis,
Coelestis et Diabilis.Copy !req
268. Aren't I right?Copy !req
269. Ten years ago
you persuaded my master...Copy !req
270. to set off for the Holy Land.Copy !req
271. Did I scare you?
Have you a pain in your belly?Copy !req
272. Now I understand
these ten wasted years.Copy !req
273. We were too well-off,
too satisfied.Copy !req
274. The Lord wanted to chasten our pride.Copy !req
275. So He sent you to poison
my master's mind.Copy !req
276. I was in good faith.Copy !req
277. Now you know better.
You've become a thief.Copy !req
278. A more suitable occupation
for knaves.Copy !req
279. Oh, I am not bloodthirsty.Copy !req
280. But next time we meet,
I will brand your face as you deserve.Copy !req
281. I came to get my water bottle filled.Copy !req
282. Jöns is the name.Copy !req
283. An amiable young man...Copy !req
284. full of noble thoughts and deeds.Copy !req
285. Farewell, my sweet.
I could have raped you...Copy !req
286. but I don't believe in
that kind of love.Copy !req
287. It's a little dull in the end.Copy !req
288. Come to think of it,
I need a housekeeper.Copy !req
289. Can you cook?Copy !req
290. I hope my wife is dead by now.Copy !req
291. So I need a housekeeper.Copy !req
292. Well, don't stand there gaping!
I've saved your life, you know!Copy !req
293. Damn actors.Copy !req
294. They're making fools of themselves.Copy !req
295. I'm not in the first part
so I'll go behind the curtain.Copy !req
296. Don't stand there gaping, ugly!Copy !req
297. The horse is up the tree, crowing.Copy !req
298. The road is wide but the gate narrow.Copy !req
299. The Black One dances on the shore.Copy !req
300. The hen mews in a lake so dark.Copy !req
301. The day is red but the fish is dead.Copy !req
302. The Black One squats on the shore.Copy !req
303. The snake flaps high in the sky.Copy !req
304. The Virgin is pale
but the mouse's content.Copy !req
305. The Black One runs on the shore.Copy !req
306. The goat hisses.Copy !req
307. With his two teeth.Copy !req
308. The blast is heavy.Copy !req
309. The waves break.Copy !req
310. The Black One makes dung on the shore.Copy !req
311. The sow lays eggs and the cat grunts.Copy !req
312. The night is soot and the dark remains.Copy !req
313. The Black One stays, stays on the shoreCopy !req
314. God is punishing us.Copy !req
315. We shall all perish
by the Black Death.Copy !req
316. You there, gaping like cattle...Copy !req
317. and you, bloated with complacency...Copy !req
318. this might be your last hour.Copy !req
319. Death is behind your back.Copy !req
320. His scythe flashes above your heads.Copy !req
321. Which of you will he strike first?Copy !req
322. You there, with the stare of a goat...Copy !req
323. will tonight see
your last twisted smile?Copy !req
324. You, woman,
full of the lust of life...Copy !req
325. will you wither before the dawn?Copy !req
326. You, with the swollen nose...Copy !req
327. will you pollute the earth
for another year?Copy !req
328. Do you know, idiots,
that you are to die?Copy !req
329. You are all doomed,
do you hear?Copy !req
330. Doomed! Doomed! Doomed!Copy !req
331. Lord, have mercy on us sinners.Copy !req
332. Turn not away Thy face.Copy !req
333. For the sake of Thy son, Jesus Christ!Copy !req
334. Do they really expect modern people...Copy !req
335. to take that drivel seriously?Copy !req
336. You laugh at me, milord.Copy !req
337. I've read and heard
all the fairy tales.Copy !req
338. Even the ghost stories
about God the Father...Copy !req
339. Jesus Christ and the Holy Ghost.Copy !req
340. Why are you shouting?Copy !req
341. I'm Plog, the smith,
and you're Jöns, the squire.Copy !req
342. - That's possible.
- Have you seen my wife?Copy !req
343. No. But if I had seen her
and she was like you...Copy !req
344. I would hasten to forget her.Copy !req
345. So you haven't seen her?Copy !req
346. - Maybe she's run off.
- Do you know something?Copy !req
347. Quite a lot.
But nothing about your wife.Copy !req
348. Go inside, they'll tell you.Copy !req
349. The plague is raging everywhere.
People are dying like flies.Copy !req
350. I can't sell anything.Copy !req
351. It's Judgement Day.
And the awful omens...Copy !req
352. A woman has given birth
to a calf's head.Copy !req
353. People are mad. They flee
and take the plague with them.Copy !req
354. Eat, drink and be merry!Copy !req
355. Many have purged themselves
with fire and died.Copy !req
356. But better that than hell,
the priests say.Copy !req
357. No one dares say it aloud,
but this is the End.Copy !req
358. People are crazy with fear.Copy !req
359. You're scared yourself!Copy !req
360. I'll warrant I am.Copy !req
361. Judgement Day.Copy !req
362. The angels descend
and the graves will open.Copy !req
363. It will be horrible.Copy !req
364. Want this? You can have it cheap.Copy !req
365. It's real silver.Copy !req
366. Too dear for me.Copy !req
367. Excuse me, have you seen my wife?Copy !req
368. - Is she missing?
- They say she's run off.Copy !req
369. - Run away?
- With an actor.Copy !req
370. If she has such bad taste,
let her go.Copy !req
371. You are right.Copy !req
372. I thought of killing her.Copy !req
373. Oh. Murder? That's different!Copy !req
374. And the actor with her.Copy !req
375. The actor?Copy !req
376. The one she has run off with.Copy !req
377. Dense, aren't you?Copy !req
378. Oh, the actor!Copy !req
379. Yes, there are far too many of them...Copy !req
380. so you might as well kill him.Copy !req
381. You're lying to the smith.Copy !req
382. Me! Lying?Copy !req
383. You're an actor too, and it's
your friend who has taken his wife.Copy !req
384. Are you an actor too?Copy !req
385. Hardly.Copy !req
386. It's logical to kill you, too.Copy !req
387. Funny, aren't you?Copy !req
388. Pale, aren't you?
Got a bad conscience?Copy !req
389. You are funny.Copy !req
390. Don't you think he's funny?
Oh, you don't?Copy !req
391. Suppose we brand you.Copy !req
392. What have you done with my wife?Copy !req
393. You're not going to hurt me?Copy !req
394. If I've offended anyone,
I'll go away.Copy !req
395. Stand up and speak louder.Copy !req
396. Stand on your head, actor!Copy !req
397. What have you done with my wife?Copy !req
398. Get up and dance!Copy !req
399. I won't. I can't.Copy !req
400. - Imitate a bear.
- I can't imitate a bear.Copy !req
401. We shall see if you can.Copy !req
402. Up again. Good bear.Copy !req
403. I can't go on.Copy !req
404. You remember what I said?Copy !req
405. I always keep my word.Copy !req
406. What's his name?Copy !req
407. Michael.Copy !req
408. How old is he?Copy !req
409. Over a year.Copy !req
410. - Big for his age.
- Do you think so?Copy !req
411. - I saw your performance today.
- Was it bad?Copy !req
412. You're prettier without make-up...Copy !req
413. and that dress suits you better.Copy !req
414. Skat has left us in the lurch.Copy !req
415. Your husband?Copy !req
416. No. Joseph is my husband.Copy !req
417. So now there's only the two of us...Copy !req
418. and we'll have to do tricks again.Copy !req
419. You do tricks, too?Copy !req
420. You bet.
Joseph is a skilful juggler.Copy !req
421. Is Michael going to be an acrobat?Copy !req
422. Joseph wants him to be.Copy !req
423. But not you?Copy !req
424. Perhaps he will be a knight!Copy !req
425. That's not such fun either.Copy !req
426. - No, you don't look happy.
- No.Copy !req
427. Are you tired?Copy !req
428. - Why?
- I'm in boring company.Copy !req
429. - You mean your squire?
- No, not him.Copy !req
430. - Who then?
- Myself.Copy !req
431. Oh, I see.Copy !req
432. Do you really?Copy !req
433. Yes, I do quite well.Copy !req
434. Why do people always
torment themselves?Copy !req
435. Joseph! What is it? Where have you been?Copy !req
436. Come sit here. Where have you been?Copy !req
437. Let me look at you.Copy !req
438. You've been drinking
at the tavern.Copy !req
439. Not a drop!Copy !req
440. You sat boasting of your angels.Copy !req
441. I never said a word about angels.Copy !req
442. Then you were playing
the fool again.Copy !req
443. It makes people angry.Copy !req
444. Look what I've brought you.Copy !req
445. Oh, but you shouldn't!Copy !req
446. I did, anyway.Copy !req
447. Oh, how they hit me.Copy !req
448. Why didn't you hit back?Copy !req
449. I got angry...Copy !req
450. but I never got to that.Copy !req
451. I was so angry,
I roared like a lion.Copy !req
452. Were they frightened?Copy !req
453. No, they only laughed.Copy !req
454. Doesn't he smell nice?Copy !req
455. And he's so big. Aren't you?Copy !req
456. He's got a real acrobat's body.Copy !req
457. This is my husband, Joseph.Copy !req
458. Good evening.Copy !req
459. I was just saying
what a fine son you have.Copy !req
460. Yes, he's fine.Copy !req
461. - Have we nothing to offer our guest?
- Thank you, nothing for me.Copy !req
462. Wild strawberries
and fresh milk.Copy !req
463. We shall be honoured if you will share
our humble meal.Copy !req
464. Sit down and I'll get it.Copy !req
465. Here you are.Copy !req
466. - Where are you making for now?
- To Elsinore.Copy !req
467. - I advise you not to go that way.
- Why?Copy !req
468. The plague is worse in the south.Copy !req
469. Thousands are dying.Copy !req
470. It never rains but it pours.Copy !req
471. Come with me through the forest.Copy !req
472. You'll be safer at my castle.Copy !req
473. The strawberries
are from the hillside.Copy !req
474. I've never seen ones so big.
Smell them.Copy !req
475. I wish you appetite, sir.Copy !req
476. My humble thanks.Copy !req
477. I must think over your proposal.Copy !req
478. It would be nice to have company.Copy !req
479. The forest is full of evil spirits
and robbers.Copy !req
480. Yes, but I must think it over.Copy !req
481. I'm responsible for the troupe now.Copy !req
482. After all, I am the director.Copy !req
483. "After all, I am the director."Copy !req
484. - Would you like some strawberries?
- That man has saved my life.Copy !req
485. Sit down.Copy !req
486. The knight's squire is honoured.Copy !req
487. Oh, how lovely.Copy !req
488. For a little while.Copy !req
489. No, always. One day is like another.Copy !req
490. That's not strange, is it?Copy !req
491. Summer is better than winter
because you aren't cold.Copy !req
492. But spring is best of all.Copy !req
493. I've written a song about the spring.Copy !req
494. Would you like to hear it?Copy !req
495. Our guest may not care for your songs.Copy !req
496. - Oh, yes. I write songs myself.
- You see!Copy !req
497. There's one about an enormous fish
which you haven't heard.Copy !req
498. And you're not going
to hear it either.Copy !req
499. Some people don't appreciate art,
so I won't bore you. I'm sensitive.Copy !req
500. We worry about so much.Copy !req
501. It's better to be two.
Have you no one?Copy !req
502. - I had once.
- And now?Copy !req
503. I don't know.Copy !req
504. So solemn! Was she your beloved?Copy !req
505. We were newly-married.
We played and laughed.Copy !req
506. I wrote songs to her eyes.Copy !req
507. We hunted, we danced,
the house was full of life.Copy !req
508. Will you have some strawberries?Copy !req
509. To believe is to suffer.Copy !req
510. It is like loving someone
in the dark...Copy !req
511. who never answers.Copy !req
512. How unreal that is in your company.Copy !req
513. It means nothing to me now.Copy !req
514. You're not so solemn now.Copy !req
515. I shall remember this hour
of peace...Copy !req
516. the strawberries,
the bowl of milk...Copy !req
517. your faces in the dusk.Copy !req
518. Michael asleep,
Joseph with his lute.Copy !req
519. I shall remember our words...Copy !req
520. and shall bear this memory
between my hands...Copy !req
521. as carefully as a bowl of fresh milk.Copy !req
522. And this will be a sign...Copy !req
523. and a great content.Copy !req
524. I have been waiting.Copy !req
525. Forgive me. I was delayed.Copy !req
526. As I have given away my strategy,
I beat a retreat.Copy !req
527. Here, it is your turn.Copy !req
528. Why so pleased?Copy !req
529. That is my secret.Copy !req
530. Of course.Copy !req
531. I take your knight.Copy !req
532. As you were meant to.Copy !req
533. Have you tricked me?Copy !req
534. You fell into the trap. Check!Copy !req
535. Why do you laugh?Copy !req
536. Never mind. Save your king.Copy !req
537. You are sure of yourself.Copy !req
538. Our game amuses me.Copy !req
539. Your move. I am in a hurry.Copy !req
540. I know you have much to do...Copy !req
541. but our game must go on.Copy !req
542. You are escorting Joseph
and his family tonight?Copy !req
543. Why do you ask?Copy !req
544. No reason.Copy !req
545. Have you seen Jöns? We must go.Copy !req
546. I think he's inside.Copy !req
547. Well, if it isn't the smith!Copy !req
548. Sitting alone and crying?Copy !req
549. Yowling like a drowning cat.Copy !req
550. - Is it still your wife?
- Yes, I haven't found her.Copy !req
551. It's hell with women
and hell without.Copy !req
552. Best to kill them
while the fun lasts.Copy !req
553. Nagging and pig's swill.Copy !req
554. Babies wetting themselves.Copy !req
555. Scratches and abuse.Copy !req
556. A witch for a mother-in-law.Copy !req
557. And when you get into bed...Copy !req
558. A new song.Copy !req
559. Tears and whining.Copy !req
560. - "Why don't you kiss me?"
- "Why don't you sing?"Copy !req
561. "You don't love me any longer!"Copy !req
562. "You haven't seen my new dress!"Copy !req
563. - "All you do is snore!"
- Oh, hell.Copy !req
564. Oh, hell. And now she's gone.
Good riddance!Copy !req
565. I'll twist their noses
with tongs.Copy !req
566. I'll crack their skulls
on the anvil.Copy !req
567. He's blubbing again.Copy !req
568. Perhaps I love her.Copy !req
569. Perhaps! Listen,
you greasy cuckold.Copy !req
570. Love is nothing but lust
and cheating and lies.Copy !req
571. It hurts all the same.Copy !req
572. Love is the blackest
of all plagues.Copy !req
573. But you don't even die of it,
and usually it passes.Copy !req
574. No, mine isn't passing.Copy !req
575. Of course it will.Copy !req
576. Only fools die of love.Copy !req
577. If everything is imperfect
in this world...Copy !req
578. love is perfect in its imperfection.Copy !req
579. You're lucky.Copy !req
580. You believe
in your own twaddle.Copy !req
581. Who says I believe it?Copy !req
582. But I like giving advice.Copy !req
583. I'm a man of learning.Copy !req
584. Can I come with you?Copy !req
585. They only laugh at me at home.Copy !req
586. As long as you don't blubber.
If you do, we'll run away.Copy !req
587. Little brother!Copy !req
588. Look out, Jöns!
He wants to fight.Copy !req
589. - Well, now he's crying.
- I'm sorry if I hurt you.Copy !req
590. I've got such a confounded temper.Copy !req
591. Come to my arms!Copy !req
592. Later perhaps.
We're in a hurry.Copy !req
593. Who is that over there
if not my lady...Copy !req
594. complete with actor!Copy !req
595. Look out now!Copy !req
596. It is the filthy smith,
who has insulted...Copy !req
597. the fair Kunigunda.Copy !req
598. What did you call her?Copy !req
599. Kunigunda! Are you deaf?Copy !req
600. Her name is Lisa. Strumpet-Lisa.
Rump-Lisa.Copy !req
601. How coarse he is.Copy !req
602. Or find something better,
you gilded pimp!Copy !req
603. What a brute!Copy !req
604. You scabby bastard,
if I were in your lousy rags...Copy !req
605. I would be so ashamed...Copy !req
606. that I would creep
into a hole and die.Copy !req
607. Watch out, you...Copy !req
608. Dung heap.Copy !req
609. Dung heap, or I'll...Copy !req
610. blow you down to hell,
and you can...Copy !req
611. Juggle.Copy !req
612. Juggle with Old Nick's guts.Copy !req
613. Bravo, Plog!Copy !req
614. Watch out that I don't rip open
your belly.Copy !req
615. Watch out that I don't punch you
in the face...Copy !req
616. so you can't perform
for Turks and cannibals!Copy !req
617. Why do you laugh? It's serious.Copy !req
618. In southern lands there are things
called apes.Copy !req
619. - What about it?
- Nothing.Copy !req
620. Plog, my dear little Plog.Copy !req
621. Darling Plog, forgive me.Copy !req
622. She'll cry in a minute.Copy !req
623. It's all so dreadful.Copy !req
624. He has cheated me.Copy !req
625. Look here, Kunigunda.Copy !req
626. It will be his favourite food next!Copy !req
627. When we get home,
I'll make you pork dumplings.Copy !req
628. I must kill him first.Copy !req
629. Yes, kill him properly.
I don't like him anymore.Copy !req
630. Lord, why did you create woman?Copy !req
631. He's nothing but false beard,
false teeth...Copy !req
632. false all over.Copy !req
633. Kill him.Copy !req
634. If you thought I would defend myself
you were wrong.Copy !req
635. Kill me. I'll thank you afterwards!Copy !req
636. What did you say?Copy !req
637. The actor plays on the emotions.
That's half the battle.Copy !req
638. Don't stand there gaping!Copy !req
639. He must fight me,
or I can't kill him.Copy !req
640. He must at least annoy me.Copy !req
641. I shall plunge this dagger
in my heart...Copy !req
642. and my reality will become
that of a corpse.Copy !req
643. Wait! I didn't mean any harm.Copy !req
644. I forgive you, Kunigunda.Copy !req
645. Farewell, my friend.Copy !req
646. Pray for me.Copy !req
647. Oh dear, I didn't mean it like that.Copy !req
648. Oh dear, I was beginning
to like him.Copy !req
649. He's dead. The deadest actor
I've ever seen.Copy !req
650. Oh well, he wanted to die.Copy !req
651. And that's what I'm married to!Copy !req
652. Now you've got
your little Lisa back.Copy !req
653. Aren't you happy?Copy !req
654. Jöns, between you and me,
isn't life...Copy !req
655. Yes. But don't think of that now.Copy !req
656. It's a dirty mess.Copy !req
657. I played that scene well.Copy !req
658. Now to find a tree
where I'll be safe...Copy !req
659. from bears, wolves and ghosts.Copy !req
660. Tomorrow I'll find Joseph
and Mary...Copy !req
661. and off we go
to the Saints' Festival.Copy !req
662. I'll warble like a little bird.Copy !req
663. Workmen in the forest!Copy !req
664. It's my tree!Copy !req
665. Hey, you scurvy knave,
what are you up to?Copy !req
666. You might at least answer.
Who are you?Copy !req
667. I'm felling your tree.
Your time is up.Copy !req
668. You can't. I haven't time.Copy !req
669. You haven't time?Copy !req
670. No, I have my performance.Copy !req
671. Cancelled, owing to death.Copy !req
672. - My contract?
- Annulled.Copy !req
673. My family...Copy !req
674. For shame, Skat.Copy !req
675. Yes, I'm ashamed.Copy !req
676. Is there no exemption for actors?Copy !req
677. Not in your case.Copy !req
678. No loopholes?Copy !req
679. There's the moon.Copy !req
680. Now we can see our way.Copy !req
681. I don't like the moon tonight.Copy !req
682. The trees are so still.Copy !req
683. That's because there is no wind.Copy !req
684. He means they're unusually still.Copy !req
685. There's not a sound.Copy !req
686. - If only we could hear a fox.
- Or an owl.Copy !req
687. Or a human voice...Copy !req
688. besides our own.Copy !req
689. Where are you going?Copy !req
690. - To the stake.
- Ah, yes, the witch.Copy !req
691. Why burn her at night
when people need diversion?Copy !req
692. Shut up, for God's sake.Copy !req
693. The Devil is with her.Copy !req
694. Then you are eight brave men.Copy !req
695. We've been paid.
This is a volunteer job.Copy !req
696. Do you hear me?Copy !req
697. They say you've had commerce
with the Devil.Copy !req
698. Why do you ask?Copy !req
699. For very personal reasons.Copy !req
700. I, too, want to meet him.Copy !req
701. Why?Copy !req
702. I must ask him about God.Copy !req
703. Surely he knows.Copy !req
704. You can see him any time.Copy !req
705. How?Copy !req
706. If you do as I say.Copy !req
707. Look into my eyes.Copy !req
708. Well, do you see him?Copy !req
709. I see terror.Copy !req
710. Nothing else.Copy !req
711. Nothing? No one?Copy !req
712. No.Copy !req
713. Is he not behind you?Copy !req
714. There is no one.Copy !req
715. He is with me everywhere.Copy !req
716. If I stretch out my hand,
I feel him.Copy !req
717. Even now.Copy !req
718. The fire won't hurt me.Copy !req
719. - Has he said so?
- I know.Copy !req
720. - Has he said so?
- I know. I know.Copy !req
721. You must see him, too.Copy !req
722. The priests could see him,
and the soldiers.Copy !req
723. They dare not touch me.Copy !req
724. Why have you broken her hands?Copy !req
725. - It is not us.
- Who?Copy !req
726. Ask the monk there.Copy !req
727. What have you done to the child?Copy !req
728. Will you never stop asking questions?Copy !req
729. No. Never.Copy !req
730. But you get no answer.Copy !req
731. I did think of killing
the soldiers...Copy !req
732. but she's nearly dead already.Copy !req
733. I told you to be careful.
Don't go near her.Copy !req
734. This will still the pain.Copy !req
735. What does she see?Copy !req
736. - She has no pain now.
- You don't answer.Copy !req
737. Who will look after that child?Copy !req
738. The angels? God? Satan?
Emptiness?Copy !req
739. - No, emptiness, milord!
- It cannot be.Copy !req
740. Look at her eyes.Copy !req
741. Her poor mind is making
a discovery.Copy !req
742. Emptiness!Copy !req
743. No.Copy !req
744. We are helpless.Copy !req
745. We see what she sees
and her terror is ours.Copy !req
746. Poor child!Copy !req
747. I can't stand it!Copy !req
748. He sings so sweetly
of Jesus Christ.Copy !req
749. In heaven there is great joy.Copy !req
750. It will soon be dawn...Copy !req
751. but the heat is stifling.Copy !req
752. I'm so afraid.Copy !req
753. We feel something will happen
to us...Copy !req
754. but we don't know what.Copy !req
755. Doomsday perhaps.Copy !req
756. Doomsday.Copy !req
757. Give me water!Copy !req
758. I have the plague.Copy !req
759. Keep on the other side
of the tree.Copy !req
760. I am afraid to die.Copy !req
761. I don't want to die!Copy !req
762. Take pity on me.Copy !req
763. Speak to me!Copy !req
764. It is useless.Copy !req
765. I know it is!Copy !req
766. I am dying.Copy !req
767. What will happen to me?Copy !req
768. Take pity on me.Copy !req
769. Is there no help?Copy !req
770. It is useless.Copy !req
771. Utterly useless!Copy !req
772. Help me!Copy !req
773. Do you hear? I'm consoling you.Copy !req
774. Shall we finish our game?Copy !req
775. Your move!Copy !req
776. I take your queen.Copy !req
777. I didn't see that.Copy !req
778. I see something dreadful.Copy !req
779. - Something I can hardly tell you.
- What do you see?Copy !req
780. The knight is playing chess
over there.Copy !req
781. So I see. What of it?Copy !req
782. Don't you see who the other is?Copy !req
783. He's alone.
You mustn't scare me like that.Copy !req
784. - No, he's not alone.
- Who is it then?Copy !req
785. He's playing chess with Death.Copy !req
786. You mustn't say that.Copy !req
787. - We must flee.
- Not without him.Copy !req
788. They are so deep in their game
that they won't notice.Copy !req
789. Your move, Antonius Block.Copy !req
790. Have you lost interest?Copy !req
791. On the contrary!Copy !req
792. You look worried.Copy !req
793. Are you hiding something?Copy !req
794. Nothing escapes you.Copy !req
795. Nothing escapes me.Copy !req
796. No one escapes me.Copy !req
797. I am worried, it is true.Copy !req
798. You are afraid.Copy !req
799. I've forgotten how
the pieces were.Copy !req
800. But I have not.Copy !req
801. You can't get off so easily!Copy !req
802. - Ah, how interesting.
- What do you see?Copy !req
803. You are mate at the next move.Copy !req
804. True.Copy !req
805. Did you gain by the delay?Copy !req
806. Yes.Copy !req
807. I am glad.Copy !req
808. When next we meet...Copy !req
809. the hour will strike
for you and your friends.Copy !req
810. And you will reveal your secrets.Copy !req
811. I have no secrets.Copy !req
812. So you know nothing?Copy !req
813. I am unknowing.Copy !req
814. What a queer light!Copy !req
815. It's the thunderstorm.Copy !req
816. No. It's something terrible.Copy !req
817. Do you hear the roar?Copy !req
818. It's only the rain.Copy !req
819. No. He has seen us.Copy !req
820. He's chasing us.Copy !req
821. Inside, Mary! Quick!Copy !req
822. The Angel of Doom
is rushing past...Copy !req
823. and he is very big.Copy !req
824. How cold it is!Copy !req
825. I heard you were coming home...Copy !req
826. so I waited for you.Copy !req
827. The others have fled
from the plague.Copy !req
828. Don't you know me anymore?Copy !req
829. You too have changed.Copy !req
830. Now I can see it is you.Copy !req
831. Hidden deep in your eyes...Copy !req
832. is the boy who went away
so long ago.Copy !req
833. It is over now and I am tired.Copy !req
834. Are you sorry you went?Copy !req
835. No. But I am tired.Copy !req
836. I can see that.Copy !req
837. Over there are my friends.Copy !req
838. Ask them in.
I shall prepare a meal.Copy !req
839. "And when the Lamb had opened
the seventh seal..."Copy !req
840. "there was silence in heaven..."Copy !req
841. "about the space of half an hour."Copy !req
842. "And the seven angels..."Copy !req
843. "which had the seven trumpets..."Copy !req
844. "prepared themselves to sound."Copy !req
845. "The first angel sounded,
and there followed..."Copy !req
846. "hail and fire mingled with blood..."Copy !req
847. "and they were cast upon the earth."Copy !req
848. "And the third part of the trees
was burnt up..."Copy !req
849. "and all the green grass was burnt up."Copy !req
850. "And the second angel sounded..."Copy !req
851. "and as it were a great mountain
burning with fire..."Copy !req
852. "was cast into the sea."Copy !req
853. "And the third part of the sea
became blood."Copy !req
854. Was anyone there?Copy !req
855. No, milord. I saw no one.Copy !req
856. "And the third angel sounded..."Copy !req
857. "and there fell a great star
from heaven..."Copy !req
858. "burning as if it were a lamp."Copy !req
859. "And the name of the star
is called Wormwood."Copy !req
860. Good morning, noble lord.Copy !req
861. I am Karin, the knight's wife...Copy !req
862. and I bid you welcome in my house.Copy !req
863. I'm a smith by trade...Copy !req
864. and not a bad one.Copy !req
865. My wife Lisa.Copy !req
866. Curtsy to the noble lord, Lisa.Copy !req
867. Takes a bit of handling...Copy !req
868. but we quarrel no worse
than others.Copy !req
869. Out of our darkness,
we call to Thee, O Lord!Copy !req
870. Oh, God, have mercy on us!Copy !req
871. We are small and afraid
and without knowledge.Copy !req
872. In the darkness
where you say you are...Copy !req
873. there is none to listen to your lament.Copy !req
874. You are reflected
in your own indifference.Copy !req
875. God, you who are somewhere,
who must be somewhere...Copy !req
876. have mercy on us!Copy !req
877. I could have purged your worries
about eternity...Copy !req
878. but now it's too late.Copy !req
879. But feel, to the very end,
the triumph of being alive!Copy !req
880. Quiet, quiet!Copy !req
881. Yes, but under protest.Copy !req
882. It is finished.Copy !req
883. I see them, Mary!Copy !req
884. Over there against the stormy sky.Copy !req
885. They are all there.Copy !req
886. The smith and Lisa,
the knight...Copy !req
887. Raval, Jöns, and Skat.Copy !req
