  • At night
       the river is different...
    The palpitating pillars of light
      seem to live underwater...
    Yet... it's an illusion...
      They're just reflections
    of lanterns -
     the other side
    of the bank...
    
    When I worked in New York
      for the NDI
    Betsy Gardella,
      the art director,
    invited me to go
      to the Yellowstone Park
    in September...
    
    However, my fate
      was to come back home...
    I've never made 
      Yellowstone...
    
    I really wish I could stay
       in the USA...
    Could've stayed...
    
    And now Jacques d'Amboise
       is no longer himself...
    35 years have passed
      like one day...
    
    Most celebrities
      I worked with
    are gone...
      Peter Brook,
    Natasha Parry,
      George White,
       Leonard Nemoy,
    Сicely Tyson...
    
    The whole strata of life...
    The whole strata of art...
    
    Now I'm an artist myself
      having created a huge archive,
       getting awards all the time...
    
    Am I happy?
      Yes!
     This is nice
    to be appreciated for once...
    
    But... 
       there is something else...
    
    Happiness...
        Have I really been?
      At times...
    
    But it was almost never full...
     It can't be full on Earth...
    
    And in the Other World?
      We'll see...
    
    We won't know 
       until we get There...
         
    Shall 
    we
      be 
    ever 
      together
        in the full happiness and ener-
    gy?
