1
00:00:00,790 --> 00:00:08,140
From Samson agonist is the biblical hero, Samson bewailing his political and personal state.

2
00:00:10,460 --> 00:00:16,880
Oh. Loss of sight of the eye. Most complain blind among enemies.

3
00:00:17,270 --> 00:00:22,400
Oh, worse than chains. Dungeon or bakery or decrepit age.

4
00:00:23,310 --> 00:00:31,190
Light. The prime work of God to me is extinct and all her various objects of delight annulled,

5
00:00:31,460 --> 00:00:38,780
which might in part my grief have eased, inferior to the vilest now become of man or worm,

6
00:00:39,530 --> 00:00:50,030
the vilest here excel me they creep yet see I dark in light exposed to daily fraud, contempt,

7
00:00:50,210 --> 00:01:01,880
abuse and wrong within doors all without still as a fool in power of others Never in my own scarce half I seem to live dead.

8
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:09,230
More than half. Oh, dark, dark, dark, dark, dark.

9
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:17,069
Amid the blaze of noon irrecoverable dark total eclipse without all hope of day Oh,

10
00:01:17,070 --> 00:01:28,080
first created beam and thou great words let there be light and light was over all Why am I thus bereaved thy prime decree?

11
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:33,290
The sun to me is dark and silent as the moon.

12
00:01:33,500 --> 00:01:37,890
When she deserts, the night hid in her vacant into lunar cave.

13
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:43,670
Since light so necessary is to life and almost life itself.

14
00:01:44,090 --> 00:01:48,860
If it be true that light is in the soul, she all in every part.

15
00:01:49,370 --> 00:01:58,160
Why was the sight to such a tender bowl as the eye can find so obvious and so easy to be quenched

16
00:01:58,820 --> 00:02:04,850
and not as feeling through all parts diffused that she might look at will through every pore.

17
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:18,270
Then, had I not been thus exiled from light, as in the land of darkness, yet in light to live a life half dead, a living death and buried, but oh,

18
00:02:18,290 --> 00:02:29,599
yet more miserable myself my sepulchre a moving grave buried yet not exempt by privilege of death and burial from worst of other evils,

19
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:40,250
pains and wrongs, but made here by obnoxious more to all the miseries of life, life in captivity among inhuman foes.
