[00:38.19]Under the intense scrutiny of Ligeia's eyes
[00:47.00]I have felt the full knowledge
[00:52.58]And force of their expression
[01:06.64]And yet been unable to possess it
[01:13.27]And have felt it leave me
[01:17.30]As so many other things have left
[01:23.85]The letter half-read
[01:29.47]The bottle half-drunk
[01:37.00]Finding
[01:40.96]Finding in the commonest objects of the universe
[01:47.91]A circle of analogies
[01:56.18]Of metaphors
[01:59.55]Ooohhh
[02:04.19]For that expression
[02:07.56]Which has been willfully
[02:10.41]withheld from me
[02:14.94]The access to the inner soul denied
[02:23.98]I wanna know, ooohhh
[02:31.60]I wanna know
[02:35.59]I wanna know, oh
[02:42.00]I wanna know
[02:50.46]In consideration
[02:55.28]In consideration of the faculties and impulses
[03:08.59]Of the human soul
[03:13.44]Of the human soul
[03:15.66]In consideration
[03:19.63]Of our arrogance
[03:22.78]Of our arrogance
[03:26.62]Our radical, primitive irreducible arrogance of reason
[03:36.45]We have all overlooked the propensity
[03:43.67]We saw no need for it
[03:48.45]The paradoxical something which we may call perverseness
[03:54.97]Perverseness
[03:59.18]Through its promptings we act without
[04:02.41]Comprehensible object
[04:06.44]We act for the reason we should not
[04:12.68]We act for the reason we should not
[04:17.53]For certain minds this is absolutely irre-, irre- irresistible
[04:25.51]irresistible
[04:28.77]The conviction of the wrong
[04:31.98]Or impolicy of an action
[04:36.40]Is often the unconquerable force
[04:40.40]The unconquerable force
[04:44.50]It is a primitive impulse
[04:48.43]It is a primitive impulse
[04:54.5]Primitive impulse
[04:57.21]The overwhelming tendency
[05:01.95]The overwhelming tendency to do
[05:06.61]Wrong for the wrong's sake
[05:10.62]To do wrong for the wrong's sake
[05:13.77]We persist in acts
[05:17.62]Because we feel that we
[05:19.72]should not persist in them
[05:23.73]Because we feel we, feel we
[05:26.99]should not persist, per-, persist in them, ah
[05:31.38]Ooohhh
[05:34.62]So I wanna know
[05:39.98]I wanna know
[05:46.81]I wanna know
[05:53.82]I wanna know
[06:09.70]I wanna, I wanna know
[06:15.93]I wanna, I
[06:18.42]Ooohhh, we persist in action
[06:23.41]We persist in action
[06:27.39]Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong
[06:34.17]Ooohhh
[06:41.14]Wrong, wrong
[06:44.61]Oh we persist in action
[06:47.83]Ah yeah yeah
[06:52.67]When you know that it's wrong
