point Charles was it the more we
consider matter the less able we are to
grasp it our analysis is destructive we
go on slicing away at objects in the
world
separating characteristics describing

advance each time half the distance
covered by the preceding step bradley
insists our to pass beyond physical
analysis we need a metaphysical system
it completes the process of perception
and then we arrive James Porter then I'm.

honored that you have asked me to
present the prizes today we Ramsey's are
only swallows you know here for the
summer

someone like I should stand here in the
place of honor when there are doubtless
others whose roots are deep down in this
countryside that I love so much others

that man see the Church of England has a
vested interest in with a Pesci waitin
but property only ruin plots no God

an unwitting beast it's been a tiring
day for you Michael Easton and Sariah.
Sam didn't win your absence is a subject
of comment
the light is gone and you bothered dad
again.
[Music]
You.
[Music]
They love it well together don't you
think mr. Carmichael always arguing
nothing they're both so serious
mr. Tanzi should be a politician he
would change the world for the better.
Lily their source of strength
she would have this to do
and he is studying
you're not listening mr. Carmichael
do you like to understand me
and we have certain problems in Romani
view
it's not my type what is your type
I don't know baby come on
people say anything too serious
the world isn't a funny place is it it's
strange your mother believes the world
is filled with tragedy which allows all
day long if the Carmichael fish is
extraordinary beautiful uni I don't know
what that means
I do
she could weigh the one my perspective
choose to be someone other than I'm
surrounded I'd like to be very a long
way from home I'd love to
no Ramsay don't allowed to have secrets
when endlessly inspected so much love I
am below when we had a restful foot she
read it up in her room she cried for
hours when she can.
Oh Andrew quick Oh Kirsten Rodney Martha

we will go soon Gemma due to the
lighthouse.
[Music]
Oh I'm sorry to have kept you waiting
drill wanted to come with it but I
thought it best she said
he things are growing chilly the things
[Music]
Over here you like it when I come down
in mid-july
and that's been the summit er in the
year in stuffy lucky let me tell you my
mind is in a pilot stage they do say
don't they you can improve an old clock
by putting a piece of cloth in the back
with a trace of oil and this is my piece
of oily cloth
I'm sure you could have persuaded him
there grip so why should I miss Russ he
didn't come here to go through
invigorating law came home the
dissipation
well matters for him I'm glad you two
seem to be getting on better than you
used we're going to the standing stone
up there I'm having a rest baked em can
our children safe
there Michael has his expedition
hello mr. Riley am I disturbing you Oh
mr. Ellie we artists they're a solitary
not quite marvelous up here miss Briscoe
I think if I had any ability whatever
with a brush this is where I'd come
I have no ability to help but I do
persist and very stubborn
so perhaps you couldn't not paint even
if you wanted to abandon it
you know much about paintings - really I
get of exhibitions when I can I'm sure
you would find my taste very old hat I
bought a painting last year as a matter
of fact it's pretty straightforward a
view of Richmond
that's us met miss Ramsey in Richmond we
went for a walk in the park who watched
the deer
the paintings and aid and my this
good day
I'm stuck the record of men able to
transfer nature to exert it
[Music]
I suppose that's why nail artist
betrayer convincingly they are fired by
that pride of possession there will the
moon lamentable then that they think of
landscapers feminine jasper tells me his
fetus or you stiffness at a cracking
pace michael inappropriate Footwear
caroline the idiot boy only had canvas
shoes
yesterday you must get him a decent pair
of walking boots support the foot
leather uppers caroline and a broad
fitting you'll have outgrown them in a
year Michael how do you find Paul rainy
same as ever I suppose steady but down
why I think he has come down to propose
to our proof oh I see what would her
answer be duty knowing proof she'll be
guided by what we think would she be
happy I think they're very much in love
perhaps I should raise the matter with
him isn't that preponderance oh I'm sure
he will propose if that is what you
would have him do Caroline then I'm sure
he will in this house your wishes
command us all
another day gone by nothing achieved you
are with your family Michael consolation
prize
I'm sorry I know what your reputation is
and the people you invite here they
speak so highly of you
[Music]
Many many does it better it's alright I
know it's not a burglar James another
new go back to better are you good boy
[Music]
When you hear I've told you so many
times closed doors but open windows I'm
sorry I've used up all my warmth clearly
feel my face is ash
had you been out you know what is the
very worst thing the most awful event I
can imagine that my gosh to die before
me mr. Ramsey will live to be honored
this is a lonely little room and I get I
feel them that is why we do not really
understand one another I don't live
alone I have a home my father and my
painting I cannot be much to share with
your oppa passionately and English.
I am actually afraid to be I had some
times the other day I was sitting by the
French windows and evening you know how
I like to sit there with James but I was
alone the children were all upstairs
their rooms you were off with a duster
somewhere Michael was in some corner
with Tansley throwing away and so I sat
there because it was so quiet there's
nothing to distract me I began to hear
the waves I'm not sure know how it is
when you begin to hear something like
that and it begins to get louder and
louder and really becomes quite
insistent you wonder how it is that you
don't hear it all the time so I listened
to the rhythm of the waves falling going
back falling again
it's filled its little but I always have
put words to rhythms like I can't help
it.
Ticking of the clock wheels were trained
to the lighthouse fell away before is it
true that I found myself saying the lord
have mercy on us Tigra the way before
and the Lord.
I went to find some company I remember
as I noted in the kitchen and I started
talking about the next day's meals I
can't imagine what you thought a Gooden
in my situation so different from yours
of course
hi because you have children and I do
not because you have a man always to
share your bed I have known oh but not
really do you share mrs. Ranley you
don't cease to be one person into him
you don't become half a person
do you two minds open like nerves and a
kiss I don't believe they do love can't
claim so much
I'm not poor Lily you must not say that
why must you always insist that the
light had missed and shivering outside
the gates to bliss just because we are
not married just because we do not have
a man or was to come / and serve
I do not serve here I'm a not permitted
to be happy as I am on my own Lily I do
assure you I do not serve here this is
my household and I am in control when it
comes down to it you know Michael is
that one member who don't understand
suppose he rejected you it's a very
different then if he pushed you out the
front door and loved it what then you
would starve
you don't understand.
[Music]
I've had enough of your damn
philanthropy we do this list again if
you aren't writing letters to bereaved
relatives and you're fiddling about with
your account books for the poor and
greedy as you're making your visit
Caroline do you understand we have
children who want you to themselves and
there is misery all around I know damn
it I knew water land Livie and I know
his family is destitute but I also know
I cannot care for the whole world can
can you love our patients and would like
to rest we took thousands per tomorrow
couldn't remover would you like that
mother yes.
I do not agree that it has to be them
I'm sorry but I cannot afford it this
house is a luxury Caroline we are here
for eight weeks in the year but for the
remainder it is a drain on my purse
now I love these summer's more than
anyone but let me say this if you
continue to give the nod to such
unnecessary expenditure I shall sell I
will place the house on the market this
very autumn what do you want me to do
till I instruct a boiler to take all the
materials back I have no wish to discuss
this trivial matter any further
do as you think fit
did you find out says he cannot afford
it ridiculous of course he can afford
not easily but it won't produce us to
the workhouse Paulo worries have about
money towards a more relation prove this
house is a luxury luxuries are immoral
yeah but nothing was spent on
you know child as I get older I find I
returned more and more to the central
conundrum of philosophy or rather it
returns to me the relationship between
mind and body Here I am up to 40 years
of reflection I feel that somehow we are
all fundamentally wrong I cannot find a
concept that fits the physical facts
minds are brain after all brings a
flesh-and-blood mind is meat child do
not perceive our minds as mixer ah
but maybe we should dear boy that is my
point I go to the beach for a babe the
sea sets my skin tingling but the sea
also sets my brain tingling to get my
point the sea may affect how I think how
is this child assist me I'm not sure I
follow you mr. Ramsay cherub Josh Jo Jo
good gracious boy what's the matter.
I cannot enjoy being the subject of
amusement admire your ability mr. Ramsey
enormous Lee you know that I felt that
was such a privilege to be asked down
here to work with you I left my family
and I came down I thought to spend so
many weeks to be able to discuss my
dissertation I thought I must not miss
such a chance now it is nearly over what
are you trying to say I feel
disappointed deeply disappointed do you
I don't understand you all this
gardening and sitting about and playing
cricket and playing on the beach now it
matters did it what about your work
isn't that what matters where it's still
family that matters is all your reading
and writing and all that discussions in
the basis that all the game but my work
in the hobby to me it's real it's
absolute and my political view they're
real proof I can't play games do I have
to be a good sport to be acceptable to
you mr. Tanzi mr. Hensley I have
something more to say to you mr. Tanzi.
Miller mr. Ramsay wants to know where I
am from I bought the village
[Music]

today today is for the dissertation

together
husbands and wives I kept on thinking
how this happened
why this particular man I mean we met
and we're in love people surround them
it doesn't awful thing to say.
I first met Michael at a reception
hundreds of people you know standing
around talking and I saw him standing
there with a plate in one hand glass any
other it was as if he were thin glass
toast sticking out of the wall and all
those other people
he was just bobbing around him like so
much flotsam such a vivid recollection
are you sure very good dress are you
think that no mother yes just much
better but you must go out the land and
mr. Renly every visitor the coin will
doubt back go to agree poo Nancy Yes.

cattle living god knows what else we'll
all be poisoned if something isn't done

time here which is your responsibility
and a little less time in other people's
houses which is not you might be able to
see that our kitchen staff took some
note of elementary IG near another

brisk she watches all our dramas with an
arrow done blinking hi.
[Music]
Michael Ramsay has the black moved on

comfort.
I do believe mr. Carmichael is in a
different plane from the rest of us to
listen more than one speaks as a rare
gift I have to deliver electric carted.
University early in the term damn
thing's been on my mind

through all my old ideas you know tied
in bundles stacking boxes what's there

lectern will flash like a javelin

if you're going to crawl about in your
slippers so Paul Michael then I can do

fields so that no one there there's no
one will challenge them or disturb their
security.

shoulder a good idea a truly great
perception is like a wildest of animals

absolute concentration you'll have done
that much but so long ago those days
when I used to long walks in the
countryside to nowhere in particular
finishing habits I'm in Morada I spent
at a scrub table with no interruptions

then I glimpsed it through so too
but too much ease I lost my way and I
planted the nettles myself why do I
surround myself with people the damnable
domestic round the children augustus
demands demands demands they love their
regularities the rhythms of our life
together so it must be every morning so
a kiss goodnight so every day so every
month so every year years and years and

livelihood was almost destroyed the shop

appeal to them I presume they brought

We are sitting in the midst tragedy
which will be repeated all around the
world on an ever increasing scale I
shall complete my painting I shall move
the tree capsule seek the cheapest labor
jumping over the boundaries towards the
pantry it's clean here in Cornwall a
whole community of people has been
decimated
thousands of honest men have been forced
to lead to emigrate forever there's
poverty here and helplessness personally
I find it hard to ignore I know many.
Cornishmen they are my friends I know of
these things it's time for a toast me to
another summer together to another
together.
[Music]
Thank You Man safety when to the
sessions of sweet silent thought I
summon up remembrance of things past I
sigh the lack of many a thing I sought
and with old woes new wail my dear times
waste then can I drown an eye unused to
flow the precious friends hid in deaths
dateless night and weep afresh loves
long since cancelled well and moan the
expense of many a vanished sight then
can I grieve at grievances foregone and
heavily from world to world tell or the
sad account of four baloney plane which
I knew pays as it's not paid before but
if the while I think on the dear friend
all losses are restored and sorrows in
and connecting
yes like as the waves make towards the
pebbled Shore so do our minutes hasten
to their end each changing place with
that which goes before in sequent toil
all forwards do contend Nativity once in
the main of light crawls to maturity
wherewith being crowned crooked eclipses
gainst his glory fight and time that
gave death now his gift confound time
doth transfix the flourish set on youth
and delves the parallels in beauty's
brow feeds on the rarities of nature's
truth and nothing stands but for his
size and yet the time was in hope my
verse shall stand praising I were
this light is cruel
let's paint it again

elaborate harmonies and orchestrations

old house with Gerald Augustus and his

good wallow in the past the past is dead

cam why did he want to go to the
lighthouse so much
don't you know who James it's fully in I
saw child can't live during the war did
I ever tell you I think you mentioned it
was rather extraordinary I have a friend
who's very you know active in politics
and feminism zone and she took me to a
meeting it was rather a dreary church
hall in Kensington the speakers were
opposed to conscription it was
incredibly noisy these soldiers was
shouting making awful threats and some
people were singing hymns and suddenly
they're in all this confusion and so it
was Charles up there on the stage giving
a speech
he looked even thinner even more
poverty-stricken I never knew he was a
conscientious objector
well we've completely lost touch needn't
have worried that if the army would have
wanted him anyway Nancy well I suppose
he is very laudable expecting with a
right to offend us I mean that and from
it I often find myself remaining
someone's principles and then despising
him anyway
while the virtue is so ugly and I really
can't blame you for hating the
conscience I mean people who love
for me we must go slowly we here forward.
Augustus was terribly upset you know but
ambien Rosie he was near to death
himself Sandra was a favorite wasn't it
had something in common
Andrew had that same self-sufficiency
he liked the army didn't it how Pauling
that is I remember talking to him it
proves wedding well now you have
penetrated my heart Melanie the wedding
