[02:48.50] | The man growing childish in old age, |
[02:51.82] | he begs the very fleas |
[02:53.29] | to persuade the guard to change his mind and allow him to enter. |
[02:56.95] | His sight has dimmed, |
[02:58.26] | but in the darkness he perceives a radiance |
[03:01.00] | streaming immortally from the door of the Law. |
[03:06.06] | And now, before he dies, |
[03:08.58] | all he's experienced condenses into one question, a question he's never asked. |
[03:13.36] | He beckons to the guard. |
[03:14.42] | Says the guard, "You are insatiable! What is it now?" |
[03:18.09] | Says the man, "Every man strives to attain the Law.“ |
[03:22.86] | How is it then that in all these years, no one else has ever come here, seeking admittance?" |
[03:31.60] | His hearing has failed, so the guard yells into his ear, |
[03:34.89] | "No one else but you could ever have obtained admittance!“ |
[03:37.97] | No one else could enter this door! |
[03:40.86] | This door was intended only for you! |
