00:42I don't know where my mother and father got their certainty from
00:47my grandfather was coming down Koste Hill one day
00:52when he first saw my grandmother
00:54he passed her on the road
00:58and he said that's her
01:01I don't know how he knew
01:05that's when I fell in love
01:09it was like standing in sunlight
01:12when he went away I was devastated
01:16but I didn't know
01:17I couldn't have said that's him
01:19I couldn't be sure

01:44I dream about him sometimes
01:47but he never looks happy
01:49seems dissatisfied with me

02:07I never felt encouraged to write back
02:11I know he's all right
02:14because he writes to Uncle Tom
02:15we should go back
02:21you see nature isn't on anybody's side

03:39Only in his private moments, with his carpentry and his great masters,
03:44was my father roused to himself.
03:48That and his music in the church.
03:51But his daily work in the world was a long sleep.
03:55I think my mother was jealous of this passion of his.
04:05Look.
04:07I've made a frame for the pier tower.
04:09Do you like it?
04:11The picture or the frame?
04:13Well, the whole thing.
04:15I was going to put it in our bedroom if you liked it.
04:20I'll go to sleep with that picture in my room.
04:23Why not?
04:24Because it's ugly.
04:27It's not ugly.
04:29It's beautiful.
04:31It's obscene.
04:33I hate it.
04:35I don't admire it.
04:37Your love of all those bloody wounds is obscene.
04:40They are fighting again.
04:41It's not obscene.
04:43It's love.
04:44It's not what I call love.
04:47Where are you going?
04:48Out.
04:49I won't be back to tea.
04:49Well, where will I hang it?
04:51I don't care where you put it, but it's not going in my bedroom.
04:54I'm telling you before, now shouting.
04:56Just a minute.
04:58I said, where are you going?
04:59Miss Inga has invited me to tea.
05:01And every time Miss Inga calls, you come running.
05:05Mother, there's a good crop of stockings over there.
05:07It's the holiday time.
05:09For whom?
05:09Who's having a holiday?
05:11I'm having a baby.
05:13Ursula, you could try to help your mother more.
05:17For heaven's sake, get out of here.
05:21Go.
05:24Go on.
05:29That girl's worse than useless.
05:32I think you're being a bit hard on her.
05:39I had a friend who died in childbirth.
05:43After the birth.
05:45She began to tremble and got colder and colder.
05:48The shock was too great for her heart or something.
05:51And her mother said it was all part of some great plan.
05:55But I don't believe in their grand plans every time some catastrophe occurs.
05:59I want to batter at the doors of churches and say,
06:01Show me, you liars and you hypocrites.
06:03Show me the evidence.
06:07I felt like that when my grandfather was drowned.
06:11It made me rebellious.
06:16Uncle Tom was broken by it.
06:18I never saw a man cry before.
06:23I wonder if he'd cry for a woman like that.
06:29I don't see how anyone with a shred of dignity could accept the Christian view of love with its stupid lambs and dough.
07:00All victims.
07:03My idea of love and God amount to the same thing.
07:07I want the fearless, powerful love of the lion and the eagle.
07:13And I want my god to be like that as well.
07:16You'll suffer for a passionate love.
07:18You'll suffer.
07:19Oh, yes, you will.
07:20Oh, yes, I will.
07:21that at least I shall still have a lion's heart
07:25when I rise from the ashes of my suffering.
07:29At least I shall be proud and strong.
07:31And alone.
07:34Oh, of course.
07:36You don't believe you can find happiness with men?
07:45Oh, it's stifling here.
07:51It'll thunder.
07:55Probably.
07:59I think I shall go and bathe.
08:01At night?
08:03Oh, it's best at night. Will you come?
08:05Yes, I should love to.
08:17Are you ready?
08:21Okay.
08:22All right.
08:23All right.
08:23All right.
08:39All right.
08:40I can't see the path.
08:57It's here.
09:10It's here.
09:40I shall put you in.
10:10I shall put you in.
10:39I shall have to move, Will, when this baby comes.
10:52We just don't have room.
10:55Shhh.
10:56What's wrong?
11:15No.
11:16Don't cry.
11:18No, Shiloh, your father loves you.
11:23Some part of me is dead tonight.
11:31The light has gone from my parents' door.
11:34I half wish that I was a child again, and that my father loved me as he used to do.
11:43But it seems that there is some love now that he cannot deliver.
11:48I'll give you some love.
11:49I'll give you some love.
11:51I'll give you some love.
11:53Amen.
12:23Come to help me.
12:53Hello.
13:13How long have you been standing there?
13:23Can't I go out to work?
13:28Go out to work? What for?
13:30Father, I want some other life than this.
13:33Some other life? Why? What other life do you want?
13:37Something besides housework and hanging about.
13:41I want to earn something.
13:43And how do you think you're going to earn anything?
13:46I can become a teacher. I'm qualified by my matric.
13:49And how much are you qualified to earn by your matric?
13:51£50 a year.
13:54I wish you were matric in hell!
14:00And what sort of teacher do you think you'd make?
14:03You haven't the patience of jack-knack with your own brothers and sisters,
14:06let alone a class of children.
14:08I thought you didn't like dirty board school brats.
14:11They're not all dirty.
14:13You'll find they're not all clean.
14:15Can't I try?
14:17So much of me is going to waste here.
14:21Is it?
14:23You can do what the deuce you like and go where you like.
14:27I'm finished with you.
14:28Do you think I should apply for it?
14:42Yes, I do.
14:43I'm counting my freckles.
14:44You have beautiful limbs.
14:45Young and strong.
14:46I'm counting my freckles.
14:47You have beautiful limbs.
14:52Young and strong.
14:53Kingston on Thames looks more interesting.
14:55Why'd you say that?
14:56Do you want me to go away?
14:57No.
14:58I'm counting my freckles.
15:00I'm counting my freckles.
15:01You have beautiful limbs.
15:05Young and strong.
15:10Kingston on Thames looks more interesting.
15:11Why'd you say that?
15:12Do you want me to go away?
15:13No, I don't want you to go away, my dear.
15:28But you'll go away anyway.
15:31Because you have to.
15:33It's in your nature.
15:35What's in my nature?
15:37To travel.
15:39No, Wynne, I don't ever want to go away.
15:44I don't ever want to be alone again.
15:48I don't ever want to leave this room.
15:52And you.
16:09I don't know.
16:12I don't know.
16:14I don't know.
16:18I don't know.
16:20he's my favorite uncle such a romantic figure when I was young he went to Italy and America
16:40and Germany and he was brought wonderful presents gave me a hairbrush and a mother-of-pearl mirror
16:50and a necklace once of opals and turquoise seems such an outsider I never thought he'd settle anywhere
16:59which was why I admired him have you been to Wickerston before no this will be the first time
17:06I've ever been there you will like him if he's like you I'll love him
17:20I wish I were a man Winifred oh I haven't felt that the world is a much more dangerous place for a
17:28woman than it is for men dangerous I know there are things I can use as a woman my femaleness I can use
17:38that but I don't think I'll ever be happy as a woman are you happy when one day I looked across
17:53my room and saw the bent heads of all my scholars and I realized I was happy because there was a
18:04girl there and she'd been there all the time and I hadn't even noticed and that was you
18:10listen I can hear the earth's heart beat it's a horse it's a horse crossing the downs no it's the
18:25earth's heart beating against mine the earth is my mother
18:32she hates me
18:46she hates her own mother
18:58Anna
19:00why does she hate me Will
19:04calm down don't get yourself into a state
19:16calm down don't get yourself into a state
19:46ice in my throat what is it I wish I were old Gudrun my hair was grey then I think my heart
19:59should be quiet you mean tame that's a pretense tame people are spiteful and vengeful and wild
20:11but they cultivate the untrustworthy habit of tameness I was so fond of it you mustn't
20:22you mustn't go around pouring yourself into everyone and everything you meet people will
20:28hurt you I will also hurt people well that's inevitable is it oh yes
20:38but we'd better go in unless you know there'll only be an inquiry if we don't
20:46I must take my freedom where I can oh but I'd rather be teaching anywhere than Ilkester
21:10Africa perhaps probably don't I keep remembering that at the beginning you told me many things
21:17about yourself and one of them was about a man you were in love with and since that time I spend a
21:22good deal of every day thinking about you when I'm next going to see you and I didn't think that was
21:28possible to dislodge you and there have been times when I felt that I should walk away from this woman
21:36because I should never see her again oh but every time I'm with you all that gets blown away
21:42what do you want me to do I don't know why you asked me to come with you shall I go away
21:49no don't be silly I just want you to be around for a while
21:53I will be everything you want
21:56what a grand entrance is this your library
22:15I had a wall removed to make room for the books and my laboratory
22:21are you a scientist well once I may have decided that I was
22:26and when did you decide you weren't when I had done everything that I wanted to
22:32when I wanted to
22:34and if I had half and worse of this energy I could probably do a great deal more
22:40will you give me some some what energy
22:43I don't think there's anything I could give you uncle Tom
22:45oh you know Miss Inga if I've learned anything about my niece
22:50she never says anything she doesn't mean
22:51you probably know that already
22:54Myron's at the end of the corridor
23:08the light's so poor
23:16how can people live here
23:20I'd just die
23:22are you going to sleep with me while we're here
23:36Oh I think I'm probably better not
23:41oh I think I'm probably better not
23:55Oh
23:59What
24:02am I
24:04It's like being an angel in hell.
24:31The old place is like some strange disease spreading all over the countryside.
24:39That's just what it looks.
24:41High to nothing.
24:43I'll show you the winding shed.
25:01I'll show you the winding shed.
25:19I'll show you the winding shed.
25:35Why are the men so sad?
25:51Are they sad?
25:53They seem utterly, utterly sad.
25:57Perhaps it's you who are sad.
26:01They just take it for granted.
26:03What do they take for granted?
26:05Yes.
26:06The pit and the place together.
26:08Why didn't they alter it?
26:10They believe they must alter themselves to suit the pit and the place rather than the pit
26:16and the place to suit themselves.
26:18It's easier.
26:19And you agree with them.
26:20You think like they do.
26:21That living human beings must be taken and adapted to all kinds of horrors.
26:26Oh, yes, they are.
26:37They're pretty bad.
26:38The pits are very deep and hot.
26:41Some places wet.
26:42perhaps their lives aren't really that bad
26:48oh yes they are
26:50they're pretty bad
26:51the pits are very deep and hot
26:53in some places wet
26:54the men die of consumption fairly often
26:57but they earn good wages
26:59how gruesome
27:12why was she so hostile
27:16she didn't like your pity
27:18who was that woman
27:25mrs. smith
27:27is she married and working here
27:30oh she's a widow
27:32her husband died of consumption
27:34like her father
27:35and two of his brothers
27:37they say they get used to it
27:38what a horrible thing to get used to
27:41hmm
27:41well that's the way they are
27:43she'll get married again directly
27:45one man or another
27:46doesn't make any difference
27:47are they very strict here
27:49no
27:50they're not very particular
27:52and mrs. smith for example
27:54those two sisters have just changed husbands
27:57they're left interested enough to be a model
28:00the pits what matters
28:02i think i've always known that winifred was afraid
28:08and would never be a lion in the world
28:11and i know tom
28:13he's like a man who reviles his mistress
28:16but who is in love with her
28:17they're like ghouls together
28:20what is he at home a man
28:24he's a meaningless lump
28:26a machine out of work
28:28yes
28:29they are sold to their jobs
28:31so the woman takes what she can catch
28:32if i could smash the machine
28:34if i could destroy the colliery
28:36and make all the men of wiggerson out of work
28:37i'd do it
28:38let them starve
28:40let them grub in the earth for roots
28:41rather than serve such a moloch as this
28:44they are notowing up
28:52and protesting
28:56so the woman who breaks for ending
28:56is Scripture
28:57is dreaming about
28:59what she can't do
28:59and from the moment
29:01is the show
29:02and can't be her
29:03so more than the plan
29:04it would be
29:05but the man looks like
29:07and is the baby
29:08and she is putting
29:10so
29:11that she is
31:14Dear, my dear, shall I marry Mr Brangwen?
31:25Shall I?
31:29Has he asked you?
31:33He's asked me.
31:34Do you want me to marry him, Ursula?
31:42Yes.
31:42I knew you did, my dear.
31:49And I will marry him.
31:52You're fond of him, aren't you?
31:54I've been awfully fond of him ever since I was a child.
31:59I know.
32:01I know.
32:04I can see what you like in him.
32:05He is a man by himself.
32:07He has something apart from the rest.
32:10Oh, yes.
32:12But he's not like you, my dear.
32:18He's not as good as you are.
32:22There is something objectionable in him, even his thick thighs.
32:25But I will marry him.
32:33It will be best.
32:38Now, say you love me.
32:40I love you.
32:44I love you.

37:59mr harby
38:02mr harby is against you on one side and the children are against you on the other
38:05the children are absolutely awful
38:09they only admire brutality
38:11everything
38:12everything has got to come out of you
38:14whatever they learn you've got to force it into them
38:17and that's how it is
38:19but maggie if you find it difficult i don't know what chance i have
38:22you seem so contained and strong
38:24it's a mistake to believe so entirely in your own personality
38:30well what else is there
38:32you can't offer these children a personal relationship
38:38you must not let your personal self into your work
38:42you must not let love in
38:43so what must i do
38:46you must set yourself a task every day and get the class to achieve it
38:50that is all
38:51i thought that's what i was doing
38:53you come in here looking for love
38:57you won't find it
39:00no i don't
39:01then why are you offering it
39:03so there's nothing to be done
39:07not alone
39:10but together
39:11you and me
39:14not just you and me
39:16women as a group can be very powerful
39:20oh we have equality with the likes of mr harby
39:23why don't you come to one of our meetings
39:28i should like that
39:31it's my payday mother
39:44all right
39:46here's 50 shillings for my board
39:56that leaves me 30 shillings of my own
40:01when one realises that all this is being done at a time when a woman reigns in this country
40:19then the picture of unreason and scarcely disguised injustice is complete
40:25let us hope that before the lapse of another generation
40:29the accident of sex
40:31like that of colour or religion
40:33will not be deemed sufficient justification for depriving its possessors of the equal protection
40:39and just privileges of the citizen
40:42and i hope we will all agree with that statement
40:46i so want to be like her
40:48but i do not think that this struggle with men will change my nature or free it
40:53i think only the struggle is with myself
40:56father and prophet
40:59i can't believe it
41:01well i feel sorry for him

42:38why should the shape of their handwriting matter
42:44so long as they dash down what they think and feel
42:48no i don't see how i can force them
42:51coleridge says knowledge can't be given
42:54it must be awakened

43:06the lovely lady christabel
43:10whom her father loves so well

43:15a furlong from the castle gate
43:17she had dreams all yesternight of her own betrothed night
43:24that's him
43:24and she in the midnight wood will pray
43:28who's that?
43:31my brother david
43:32i'm sorry
43:33for the wheel of her lover that's far away
43:37hello
43:37look like a bird up there
43:43she stole along
43:49she nothing spoke
43:52the schofields lived in a large gardener's cottage behind belcott hall
43:56they earned their living from the land they leased
43:59in this way they were free
44:01david was so humble
44:04his world seemed so within his own control
44:07it corresponded to his nature
44:10it was this harmony
44:12and quietness
44:14that drew me to him
44:15i want to go to mummy's bed
44:22listen
44:24did i ever tell you about the night when uncle tom was born?
44:28and mummy was a little girl like you
44:30she wouldn't get into bed
44:32and do you know what grandfather did?
44:35well you get into bed
44:37and i'll tell you
44:37well
44:45it was a time when mummy
44:47and granny
44:49and grandfather
44:50and tilly
44:51and the animals
44:52all lived at marsh farm together
44:54you do remember tilly don't you?
44:58hey your mother's poorly tonight my lad
45:01she's poorly tonight
45:03but she'll be better be more than it
45:05she didn't know grandpa very well
45:07real daddy was dead
45:09she didn't know if anybody loved her
45:12well mummy was crying
45:16and grandpa was sad too
45:18so he decided they should give the cows their supper
45:21mummy'd never been in the barn at night
45:24he opened the doors of the high dry barn
45:27they'd smell warm
45:29even when it was not warm
45:31he hung a lantern on a nail and shut the door
45:34they were in another world now
45:37there was the noise of chains running
45:40as the cows lifted their heads
45:43and then the contented snuffing
45:45as the beast set in silence
45:47from then on
45:50mummy knew that he always loved her
45:53and in the morning she had a little brother
45:56and that's our uncle Tom
45:59mr brangland it's a boy
46:20you see
46:34it's important to remember
46:36that in the woods
46:38the flowers like bluebells and daffodils
46:40come early in the spring
46:41because the leaves haven't come on the trees
46:44so the sun gets through
46:45well wildflowers strive all winter
46:49to be ready when the frost has got
46:50they only have that one moment
46:53a brief smell of flowering
46:55and they must flower
46:57while the canopy is open
46:58what do you mean by the canopy being open?
47:02when the trees are clear of leaves
47:04later
47:07when the leaves come
47:08the canopy closes
47:10and the flowers die in the summer
47:12the cultivated flowers
47:16recognise their moment of flowering
47:18like wild ones
47:19we'd train them to
47:21if you got married
47:28Ursula
47:28we wouldn't have to move

51:10Elen the fair.
51:12Elen.
51:14The lily-maid of Astellat.
51:18High in her chamber of a tower to the east.
51:22He guarded the sacred shield of Lancelot.
51:40I find that people who describe themselves as simple
51:43are often the most complicated human beings.
51:46Oh, no, Ursula.
51:48This is the extent of my horizon.
51:51Handle the world through plants and trees and flyways.
51:54It's a physical world.
51:56I don't even talk very much except when you're around.
51:59Oh, David, I'm only teasing you.
52:04What more could one want
52:06than to be in a beautiful place like this?
52:09To make things grow in your garden.
52:12It's like the Garden of Eden.
52:14Is it? Yes.
52:16Well, it's not so bad.
52:18Would you like to stay with me here?
52:19Oh, how? You're not alone.
52:21We could marry.
52:23Elcott was my refuge from the intolerable burden of my daily existence.
52:42Could I give it up?
52:44Could I?
52:45Could I?
52:46Could I?
52:50I couldn't.
52:51Could I?
52:54Could I?
52:56Could I?
52:57So, let's go.
53:27Today, I watched the wind move through the green corn, like a lover caressing the down on his mistress's face, and a thought of Anton.
53:57Would you like some sweets? What kind would you like?
54:06Oh, she liked some peppermint drops.
54:11I wouldn't make David love you if you don't want him.
54:13But, Maggie, I never made him love me.
54:25When are you going to stop?
54:29Stop what?
54:31Requiring everyone you meet to fall in love with you.
54:36I don't.
54:38Oh, yes, you do.
54:41Everyone has to be in love with Ursula Brangwen.
54:45If it's not David, it's me or the children.
54:48You're very dangerous.
54:55Why are you like that?
54:57We must say goodbye to Mrs. Brangwen and wish her all good fortune in the future.
55:14I suppose we shall see her again sometime and hear how she's getting on.
55:18Miss Schofield suggested the book of poems.
55:24We hope you like the choice.
55:27So much of my life has been fought and won and lost here.
55:32Something of this school would always belong to me and of me to it.
55:38I felt like a young horse that had been broken in the shafts and had lost its freedom.
55:44The agony and the ignominy wore into my soul.
55:49But I knew to shafts like these I would never submit for long.
55:53I would know them.
55:55I would serve them that I might destroy them.
56:02The nativity is downstairs. Will I get it?
56:06I'll have it here.
56:09What?
56:10I thought we would live here all our lives.
56:32I thought we would live here all our lives.
56:33I thought we would live here all our lives.
56:34I thought we would live here all our lives.
56:35I thought we would live here all our lives.
56:36I thought we would live here all our lives.
56:37I thought we would live here all our lives.
56:38I thought we would live here all our lives.
56:39I thought we would live here all our lives.
56:40I thought we would live here all our lives.
56:41I thought we would live here all our lives.
56:42I thought we would live here all our lives.
56:43I thought we would live here all our lives.
56:44I thought we would live here all our lives.
56:45I thought we would live here all our lives.
56:46I thought we would live here all our lives.
56:47I thought we would live here all our lives.
56:48I thought we would live here all our lives.
56:49I thought we would live here all our lives.
56:50Come in, Father.
57:07My mother had woken from the sleep of motherhood.
57:21She'd waited 20 years.
57:24This would not do for me, though I was tempted by David.
57:29Winifred said there were two paths, and I choose the one straight ahead.
57:34I would go to college. Anton was dead to me now.
57:40I had killed him.
57:43For I knew if I was to be strong, I had to remake myself, in my mind as well.
57:50Because it was a lion's heart and a lion's share of life that I wanted after all.
58:04So many of you should never even be.
58:13But after all, I would have tried a lion's heart and a lion's heart.
58:18I would have tried to chase him and he was so scared.
