[00:08.31] Gazing quite vacantly into space one day
[00:11.82] sitting up in my bed surrounded by
[00:14.25] a few Sunday papers and their colour supplements
[00:17.43] all of them superficially interesting
[00:20.43] happily unaware that somewhere somebody was aware
[00:23.79] that somewhere somebody was awake and well
[00:27.78] undisturbed
[00:41.73] living on
[00:42.09] Glancing quite speedily through assortments
[00:44.91] of horrible illustrations of atrocities
[00:48.96] and apologies of editors but they felt
[00:51.09] it was necessary for people to see the pictures
[00:54.87] on no account were they attempting
[00:56.94] to boost their paper's circulations
[01:01.47] I felt a wave
[01:01.74] closed my eyes
[01:03.54] which was worse
[03:05.31] Nevertheless I was I suppose
[03:06.69] quite at ease at home with my food
[03:08.82] brought up at intervals to my bed
[03:10.92] with all the sympathy I could want
[03:13.05] and with all the time in the world
[03:15.21] to write thank-you letters to all the people
[03:18.09] kind enough to send Christmas presents
[03:20.31] when they knew I was
[03:21.03] really very
[03:21.72] insignificant
