[00:43.571]Obsessed with fear of losing his mind, [00:49.552]he soon couldn't take care of himself anymore. [00:52.564]He had no friends or relatives to look after him, [01:03.84]only once a week some male nurse dropped in. [01:11.827]He was found in his bed,dehydrated... [01:15.556]unconscious,as he was,they brought him to a diffrent place. [01:25.342]"We have never heard of him since..." [01:29.87]He lived alone in his house for most of his life, [01:37.782]and I wouldn't be suprised, [01:42.407]If he had died the same day they put him in a room [01:48.265]with the people he'd never seem before. [01:53.431]He had a wild garden behind his house... [01:59.374]so beautiful and dark. [02:01.228]woodpeckers and squirrels lived there, [02:04.793]and hedgehogs,mice and martens. [02:06.653]Hazelnut-trees and wild strawberries grew, [02:10.615]and cherries,apples and pears,and currants of red and black... [02:16.741]all hidden in this private place.

[02:45.345]And,of course,there was ivy everywhere. [02:50.614]It happend the same week they took him away [03:19.557]workers hacked down all the trees in the garden... [03:22.682]hired by the envious people outside...who had always terrified [03:28.60]by the beauty that enchanted this place, [03:32.343]and the darkness it was breathing. [03:34.857]Yet,none of them could keep the DEAD BIRDS FROM SINGING...
