Malta, Siracuse, Messina, Naples,
Porto Ercole. 18th July 1610.
Four years on the run,
so many labels on the luggage...
and hardly a friendly face, always on the move,
running under the poisonous blue sea
running under the July sun.
Adrift...
leaving a trail of tiny tears on the burning sun.
The fisherman carrying me high
on their shoulders.
I can hear you sobbing,
Gerusalemme.
Rough hands wore my dying body...
..snatched from the cold blue sea.
They are lowing me back to the village,
their breath warm on my blue lips.
and dying in time of the splash of the oars
If arms steady as this embrace me and live !
to think Gerusalemme,
our friendship should end in this room...
..this cold white room so far from home !
The stars are the diamonds of the poor.
The richman hides the diamonds in walls...
..embarrassed to compare over the riches of
the Lord, the spark in the sky
WHISTLE:
great honour on our family.
Be faithful and honest, like the men of our country.
Bleah !
Poor dumb Gerusalemme,
not used as a shepherd !
You look to true St Jhon
brought from the wilderness !
I told you the colours, and how
to brighten...
..the blood red cinnabar
and dirty grease grounded poppy and linseed.
The art of priming, glazing with soft squirrel brushes
My companion in my loneliness !
Now I am counting the sheep
on the hill side of our house.
Pasqualone sometimes comes to move me.
his hand ? my hair...
..like the ripples
of the bottom of the ocean.
a white sheet.
Bed time, Michele. Michele !''
Her voice floating like the silver mask
beholding the evening hand.
My true love Pasqualone, laughs.
Bed time Michele of the shadows
Returns holy home. the stones
clattering under our feets...
swallowed in the twilight.
''Pasqualone!''The mountains echo.
Then the darkness comes.
How much?
- Fifty.
Thats deep
- Have you more at home?
It will cost you !
Oggetto d'arte !
E io sono molto caro !
ln plain english mate, Im an art object
and very, very expensive
Is that your money worth?
RlDE
I built my world
as divine mystery..
..found the God in the wine
and talking to my heart...
..and took on his feets: I wild
orgiastic dismenberment !
and drink to you my audience.
Mans character
is his feet ?.
Why did you paint the flesh
so green?
I have been ill all summer,
Excellency.
- Is true to life.
- And art?
- It isnt art.
- I see.
A most interesting idea.
What is your name?
- Michelangelo da Caravaggio.
- Michelangelo ? Michelangelo...
''No hope, no fear.''
and the knife is illegal.
The price of the painting is my knife
I see
Show me the painting.
What have you written on the music ?
''You know that I love you.''
''Safe... to they like believe...''
''..that nothing is impossible...for you.''
''Think yourself... immortal...''
''..and capable...of understanding...''
''..all arts,
all sciences...''
''..the nature...''
''..than the...lowest deep.''
''Most higher,
than the highest pied ?...''
''..descend lower...''
Eraclito predicted from glimpse...?
''The way up and the way down
all one and the same.''
Bruno is repeating an old truth
in new lenguage.
That is the task.
Simple you could say...
..but nothing is more difficult
that simplicity.
Matter is in life...
God all this quotes! I can build the terror ? with them
perhaps he talks himself to sleep.
''...lnfinite living atom
floating like dust in a ?sand day.''
That, of course, is heresy.
..that ideas like that will make
the fix-stars of Aristotle fall from the heavens
..and the world wonder turning round on its own...
..like a dizzy boy.
Time to go...
You can break pause for a moment now.

- Cant complain.
- How long have you been here ?

What else? You must be joking

TRAIN APPROACHING
TRAIN WHISTLE:
A cold, blue doubt
a infinitive uncertainty.
A black tide ripples
againts arsenic alights
A dark is invading
''Esse in anima''...
..to be a violate soul.
No Master need through sin us...?
..a healthy dont need a doctor,
only the jaundice sick
And the Gods?
