Poetry...

Surrealism...

At times I think I'd love

to live inside a word puzzle.

Isn't it so? Don't we all

live in a word puzzle?

Darling,you've been inside

all day.

Have a stroll with Annetta

before turning in.

I can go with you if you like.

No no no.

I want to show you my library.

Right.

A stroll will do me good.

See? The idea of going out

makes her feel better already.

- Have you noticed?

- What?

That every woman

has a special smell.

Men and women,we all have

our own individual smell.

True. But women smell

of vegetables.

Strindberg...

Strindberg said

women smelt of celery.

I'd go further.

Some smell of celery,

others, of rosemary...

radish,artichoke,

cabbage...

Because,among all living

creatures,

woman is the closest

to the vegetable species.

- Don't you think?

- Go on.

I think

woman is the transition

between the animal

and the vegetable kingdoms.

Woman is the link

joining the two.

So long,Tino. Engineer,

I'm going on my health stroll

Can you smell it?

A delicate fragrance of celery.

- Pardon ?

- Nothing,dear.

Are you going out like that?

I'm covered. It's not cold.

I think I noticed

a light fog outside.

It denotes dampness.

I don't know if you should...

I'd say no.

You coughed a lot last night.

- Maybe a little.

- No, my dear. A lot.

You'd be asking

for trouble.

You're right.

You'll be better off at home.

I'll read something for you.

Now. Do you know

what's in here,Tino?

All Hlderlin's poems.

Here's a beautiful one

from his schizophrenic period.

When he thought he was

Scardanelli,the cobbler.

I have enjoyed

the pleasures of life.

The joy of youth

has long gone.

April,May and June

are past. And...

Now I'm nothing.

Life has lost its appeal.

It sounds nicer in German.

Doesn't it sound nicer

in German,dear?

- What are you doing?

- Nothing!

I was looking for a drink.

I was thirsty.

Don't you know

where the kitchen is?

Good night.

Good night,Uncle.

Yes?

- I don't want to impose.

- Come, in Tino.

- What's up?

- Nothing. How's your headache

It's gone this morning.

Sit down.

Thank you.

- Shouldn't you be at school?

- It's an hour later today.

- Do you mind if I smoke?

- No

Thank you.

Did you sleep well?

Were you cold?

No. I slept very well.

Just that...

Just what?

- Who plays the piano?

- What piano?

Last night I heard

someone playing a tune...

I seem to know.

It went...

- As if a child were playing it.

- Why a child?

I don't know. Children have

a hesitant way of playing.

Maybe it wasn't a child.

- Who was it?

- Nobody.

Perhaps a neighbour,

from a house nearby.

I don't know which one.
