00:01:04.790 --> 00:01:07.109
"And there I saw a man sitting,"

00:01:07.109 --> 00:01:11.750
"With dark shapes on his right and dark shapes on his left."

00:01:11.750 --> 00:01:14.750
"When he looked to his right, he smiled,"

00:01:14.750 --> 00:01:18.189

"'This is Adam,'"

00:01:29.750 --> 00:01:33.109
"'And these dark shapes on his right and left,'"

00:01:33.109 --> 00:01:34.870
"'Are the souls of his descendants.'"

00:01:34.870 --> 00:01:37.829
"'Those on the right are the people of Paradise,'"

00:01:37.829 --> 00:01:41.859
"'And the dark shapes on his left are the people of the Fire.'"

00:01:41.859 --> 00:01:44.819
"So when he looks to his right, he smiles,"

00:01:44.819 --> 00:01:49.400
