I say he's wrong, it's not just because it was in the daytime, I feel a sadness I expected and which comes only from myself.” / “the sadness I've always had, I could almost call it by my own name, it's so like me. Today I tell him it's a comfort, this sadness, a comfort to have fallen at last.” End transcription.]
