[00:14.559]On the night of July 21st, 356 BC
[00:20.901]I, Erostratus, burned to the ground
[00:25.501]One of the wonders of the world
[00:29.228]The fabulous temple of Artemis
[00:33.008]Here in the great port of Ephesus
[00:36.875]
[00:43.911]I did it to get famous
[00:50.854]To thwart me
[00:54.385]The authorities stupidly forbade my name
[00:58.273]On pain of death
[01:01.066]Ever to be mentioned again
[01:03.579]
[01:04.362]The fools! That was my guarantee
[01:10.733]Of immortality
[01:16.085]Some tool in the 21st century
[01:21.712]Even as we speak is singing about me!
[01:27.489]
[01:28.861]And in your day I have many imitators and admirers
[01:34.459]My name endures, said Sartre
[01:40.987]"Like a black diamond"
