So Mary Shelley and her 62 00:03:19.400 --> 00:03:24.240 dead husband's heart.

I don't even know how to 69 00:03:38.400 --> 00:03:42.759 say the date. And then she died on February first, 70 00:03:42.879 --> 00:03:48.000 eighteen fifty one. So she's an English novelist who called 71 00:03:48.199 --> 00:03:50.759 the novel Frankenstein. 72 00:03:51.039 --> 00:03:53.280 Oh shit, really super cool. 73 00:03:53.319 --> 00:03:56.199 So I guess it was called frank Frankenstein or the 74 00:03:56.800 --> 00:04:03.000 modern pers I was like, shit, how do I say that? 75 00:04:03.000 --> 00:04:04.439 I'm trying to like recall how I. 76 00:04:04.400 --> 00:04:07.400 Was n face. You're just like terror. 77 00:04:09.479 --> 00:04:12.240 So yeah, this is the creator of Frankenstein, and I 78 00:04:12.319 --> 00:04:16.160 have absolutely no idea when I picked this case because 79 00:04:16.160 --> 00:04:20.240 I picked it for other reasons, the heart reason, and 80 00:04:20.279 --> 00:04:22.319 it just like fell into my lap.

So Frankenstein tells the story of I feel 85 00:04:31.759 --> 00:04:34.560 like most people will know Frankenstein, but whatever. It tells 86 00:04:34.600 --> 00:04:38.199 the story of Victor Frankenstein, a young scientist who creates 87 00:04:38.680 --> 00:04:42.639 a sapient creature in an unorthodox scientific experiment. 88 00:04:43.120 --> 00:04:44.279 It creates a what creature? 89 00:04:45.800 --> 00:04:46.319 Sapient? 90 00:04:47.079 --> 00:04:47.959 What the fuck does that mean? 91 00:04:49.040 --> 00:04:53.319 I think it's like sane?

Like one of those words where 98 00:05:04.399 --> 00:05:05.720 you can like use it in a sentence but you 99 00:05:05.759 --> 00:05:06.759 don't know how to define it. 100 00:05:07.160 --> 00:05:08.959 Yeah, well, no, I know what it means. But now 101 00:05:09.000 --> 00:05:11.600 I'm like, does that make sense? But Frankenstein? Now I'm 102 00:05:11.639 --> 00:05:15.319 trying to remember exactly frank Sein Steele, but I think 103 00:05:15.360 --> 00:05:18.759 I'm getting him mixed up with the other green creature, 104 00:05:19.399 --> 00:05:27.040 the other green creature from like Avengers, the Hulk. 105 00:05:28.160 --> 00:05:31.120 How are you getting because like the. 106 00:05:31.160 --> 00:05:35.480 Hulk is like kind kind of right, the Hulk he 107 00:05:35.680 --> 00:05:39.519 ends up isn't kind at all? Is he like he's 108 00:05:39.560 --> 00:05:40.160 just a monster. 109 00:05:40.399 --> 00:05:44.480 No, Frankenstein is more kind the whole Okay, the Hulk 110 00:05:44.560 --> 00:05:45.399 is not fucking kind. 111 00:05:45.439 --> 00:05:47.879 So I'm getting them mixed up and ship Okay, I'm thinking, 112 00:05:47.879 --> 00:05:49.800 I guess of the Hulk before he's green just as 113 00:05:49.800 --> 00:05:50.240 a person. 114 00:05:50.360 --> 00:05:55.000 Bruce Banner. How do you get Bruce Banner, the Hulk 115 00:05:55.240 --> 00:05:57.399 and Frankenstein all mixed up in one pot? 116 00:05:58.839 --> 00:06:02.839 Okay, this is just anyways Frankenstein. 117 00:06:03.439 --> 00:06:09.160 Frankenstein was supposed to be Frankenstein's monster. Doctor Frankenstein creates 118 00:06:09.199 --> 00:06:12.959 the monster, and his monster was supposed to be this monster, 119 00:06:13.560 --> 00:06:15.160 but he was this kind gentleman. 120 00:06:15.279 --> 00:06:17.199 Oh okay, shit, because it's actually been quite a while 121 00:06:17.279 --> 00:06:22.439 since I've watched like any Frankenstein thing, gotcha? So okay, 122 00:06:22.439 --> 00:06:26.600 so that would be that would make sense? Then? Yes, yes, wow, 123 00:06:26.680 --> 00:06:30.319 you just asking one simple question on the most wickening 124 00:06:30.360 --> 00:06:34.560 grim roller coaster that I think we've had yet pretty much. 125 00:06:34.399 --> 00:06:37.319 Unless you watch drunk Wickeding Groom because that's all that. 126 00:06:37.319 --> 00:06:40.319 Is totally Yeah, that's like a little glimpse and both 127 00:06:40.360 --> 00:06:42.639 of us are completely like, oh I had a small 128 00:06:42.680 --> 00:06:43.480 glass of wine. 129 00:06:43.639 --> 00:06:45.600 I've had a sip of iced tea that has no 130 00:06:45.639 --> 00:06:46.639 booze in it whatsoever. 131 00:06:47.560 --> 00:06:51.439 Okay, so back to this freaking story. So Mary started 132 00:06:51.439 --> 00:06:54.079 writing the story when she was just eighteen years old, 133 00:06:54.279 --> 00:06:56.639 Like that's young, Like, no, kid, not the kind of 134 00:06:56.639 --> 00:06:59.240 shit that I was doing when I was eighteen. I 135 00:06:59.279 --> 00:07:02.839 wasn't writing this Frankenstein like amazing thing that was about 136 00:07:02.879 --> 00:07:05.199 to come to be, not at all. I can't remember 137 00:07:05.199 --> 00:07:07.639 what I was doing at eighteen. You were dating me, Yeah, 138 00:07:07.680 --> 00:07:10.120 I think we probably would have been graduated in Heis. 139 00:07:10.439 --> 00:07:13.439 I think I would have been in college. Yeah, but yeah. 140 00:07:14.240 --> 00:07:20.079 So with the first edition being published anonymously, apparently in 141 00:07:20.160 --> 00:07:23.920 London on January first, eighteen eighteen, when she was just twenty, 142 00:07:24.600 --> 00:07:27.079 her name would appear on the second edition, which was 143 00:07:27.079 --> 00:07:30.600 published in Paris in eighteen twenty one. She needs her 144 00:07:30.680 --> 00:07:31.199 name on that ship. 145 00:07:31.279 --> 00:07:33.000 Yeah, I wonder why she went anonymous at first. 146 00:07:33.040 --> 00:07:35.480 I know, I didn't even look into that. I just 147 00:07:35.680 --> 00:07:37.439 threw it in there, but I didn't look into why, 148 00:07:37.480 --> 00:07:40.800 Like why would you you know. So it's argued that 149 00:07:40.839 --> 00:07:45.480 Frankenstein should be considered the first true science fiction story. 150 00:07:46.279 --> 00:07:49.879 So like, woop woop, marys like amazing, that's a big deal. Yeah, 151 00:07:49.920 --> 00:07:51.560 Like I think this whole thing like so far. I'm 152 00:07:51.560 --> 00:07:55.560 just like she's freakind of amazing. So in eighteen sixteen, 153 00:07:55.879 --> 00:08:01.000 Mary would Mary would marry Holy Facts. Like reading that out, 154 00:08:01.079 --> 00:08:03.199 I'm like, that doesn't make sense, but it does make sense. 155 00:08:03.639 --> 00:08:07.680 So she would marry Percy Shelley. I think it's Shelley. 156 00:08:08.959 --> 00:08:13.079 I should mention her maiden name was Mary Godwin and 157 00:08:13.120 --> 00:08:14.839 I never I should should have put that at the beginning. 158 00:08:15.279 --> 00:08:18.959 So Percy was a romantic poet, so he was also 159 00:08:19.000 --> 00:08:19.399 a writer. 160 00:08:20.439 --> 00:08:22.240 Good combo for the two of them not to get together, 161 00:08:22.360 --> 00:08:23.040 I know, because. 162 00:08:22.839 --> 00:08:26.319 I just like imagine like him, Percy being on like 163 00:08:26.800 --> 00:08:30.680 the bachelor bachelorette and that being his occupation, Like boom, 164 00:08:30.680 --> 00:08:34.000 you'd get snatched up instantly, No kidding, that's freaking desirable. 165 00:08:34.039 --> 00:08:36.879 I feel like, apparently need to start writing me poems 166 00:08:36.879 --> 00:08:38.039 and shit, what. 167 00:08:38.200 --> 00:08:42.360 I've already got you? No need to breast now? 168 00:08:42.840 --> 00:08:47.759 Wow wow wow love you Yeah, I love you too. 169 00:08:48.639 --> 00:08:52.919 In July eighteen twenty two, Percy took his new boat 170 00:08:53.000 --> 00:08:57.879 on a journey, a journey that would not see his return. 171 00:08:58.720 --> 00:09:00.440 Oh shit, duh. 172 00:09:00.960 --> 00:09:03.639 As they were on route home, his boat was caught 173 00:09:03.639 --> 00:09:07.360 in a horrific storm, and unfortunately Percy and his two 174 00:09:07.360 --> 00:09:10.320 companions on the boat drowned in that storm. 175 00:09:10.360 --> 00:09:12.200 Oh dang, Like, holy frae. 176 00:09:12.240 --> 00:09:14.559 I feel like they'd just be like terrifying. That's like 177 00:09:14.559 --> 00:09:16.159 the movie A Perfect Storm or whatever. 178 00:09:16.440 --> 00:09:18.440 So Percy drowned in the boat. 179 00:09:18.519 --> 00:09:20.879 Well, he like he drowned. He wasn't in the boat, 180 00:09:20.879 --> 00:09:23.399 I don't think, but like his boat capsized and they drowned. 181 00:09:23.600 --> 00:09:26.759 Okay, they drowned, gotcha, which. 182 00:09:26.639 --> 00:09:28.240 I just think would be one of the worst ways 183 00:09:28.279 --> 00:09:32.279 to die. Yet, Well, what, I'm also terrified of the ocean. 184 00:09:33.519 --> 00:09:35.320 I didn't say I'm not terrified I would go on 185 00:09:35.360 --> 00:09:37.240 the ocean. There's just I don't know, that just seems 186 00:09:37.240 --> 00:09:37.679 so scary. 187 00:09:37.759 --> 00:09:39.480 There's some scary shit down there, being in. 188 00:09:39.399 --> 00:09:41.320 A boat on the ocean, just like being Yeah, I 189 00:09:41.320 --> 00:09:42.919 think we've talked about how we just don't want to 190 00:09:42.919 --> 00:09:46.159 go on a cruise ship and that's why. So their 191 00:09:46.200 --> 00:09:49.840 bodies were not found until ten days later. 192 00:09:49.840 --> 00:09:50.720 But they were found. 193 00:09:51.080 --> 00:09:52.960 Well, so they washed up on the shore. Yeah, okay, 194 00:09:54.039 --> 00:09:58.399 so they were basically unrecognizable. You can imagine what the 195 00:09:58.440 --> 00:10:00.519 sea would do to three decept. 196 00:10:00.559 --> 00:10:05.840 Well, I think water actually speeds up the decomp processed 197 00:10:05.840 --> 00:10:08.559 by like three times or something like that. So seriously, yeah, 198 00:10:08.600 --> 00:10:11.240 so imagine like thirty days of a body on dry 199 00:10:11.320 --> 00:10:13.759 land is essentially equivalent to ten days. 200 00:10:13.840 --> 00:10:20.159 And I wonder why that would be. Oh I wonder 201 00:10:20.159 --> 00:10:22.000 if it would be the same in salt as fresh 202 00:10:22.840 --> 00:10:25.679 Oh sorry, now, okay, you gave me a good tidbit. 203 00:10:25.720 --> 00:10:27.080 Now I want to know more, and you don't. 204 00:10:26.919 --> 00:10:28.960 Know the more, I don't know more. I was just 205 00:10:29.000 --> 00:10:31.080 a little fact that And I don't know for sure 206 00:10:31.120 --> 00:10:33.039 if it's three times, but I know it's something along 207 00:10:33.080 --> 00:10:33.639 those lines. 208 00:10:34.000 --> 00:10:35.759 Well it kind of like makes sense, like they get 209 00:10:35.759 --> 00:10:38.120 like so bloated and just like pruney. 210 00:10:39.679 --> 00:10:41.240 Water and falling apart sort of thing. 211 00:10:41.320 --> 00:10:44.960 Yeah, that's a real good visual here, delicious. So basically 212 00:10:44.960 --> 00:10:49.879 not pretty. Percy was identified by the clothing that he 213 00:10:50.000 --> 00:10:52.600 was wearing. That's basically how they went to bout identifying. 214 00:10:52.639 --> 00:10:56.000 Oh wow, I'm like that's interesting. Hopefully he was wearing 215 00:10:56.039 --> 00:11:00.320 nice clothes. His body was cremated on the beach, was 216 00:11:00.320 --> 00:11:03.080 washed ashore on and oh, I forgot to do the 217 00:11:03.120 --> 00:11:05.200 pronounce dot ca a or whatever dot com for this, 218 00:11:05.600 --> 00:11:09.480 and it was near Oh, I don't even know. Vague, No, 219 00:11:09.559 --> 00:11:13.559 I was gonna that sounds like viagram be Oh, I 220 00:11:13.600 --> 00:11:17.200 don't even know. How would you pronounce that? It's a 221 00:11:17.240 --> 00:11:23.519 city in Tuscany, Italy. So it's an Italian name, via Reggio, 222 00:11:23.960 --> 00:11:31.000 Via Reggio, via Tuscany, Italy. 223 00:11:31.879 --> 00:11:35.879 It's basically should have just said some some in Italy 224 00:11:36.000 --> 00:11:38.559 or something on a beach in Italy. There we go. 225 00:11:38.919 --> 00:11:42.039 Okay, So now it is super interesting is when the 226 00:11:42.080 --> 00:11:45.799 fire was out and the smoke had cleared, nothing remained 227 00:11:45.840 --> 00:11:51.399 but bones ash and apparently Piercy's heart. 228 00:11:51.200 --> 00:11:55.480 His heart, his heart, his heart didn't the heart was preserved. 229 00:11:56.080 --> 00:11:59.639 So this is fot this is wild. Percy had suffered 230 00:11:59.639 --> 00:12:05.559 from tuberkials. Yeah, oh my god, tubercule. Now I can't 231 00:12:05.559 --> 00:12:11.320 even say that I'm tuberculosis and it is they Oh 232 00:12:11.440 --> 00:12:12.320 my gosh. 233 00:12:12.559 --> 00:12:13.399 Have another drink. 234 00:12:13.759 --> 00:12:16.399 I don't even have a drink. I bet you'd probably 235 00:12:16.399 --> 00:12:19.120 pronounced it better if I was. Probably so, And it's 236 00:12:19.159 --> 00:12:25.080 they theorized that the disease has had calciufied the. 237 00:12:25.080 --> 00:12:27.080 Organ calcified his heart. 238 00:12:27.919 --> 00:12:31.120 Really, that's just the ship that I found out right. 239 00:12:32.679 --> 00:12:37.320 So his remains were gathered up, including his heart, and 240 00:12:37.360 --> 00:12:42.600 put in a box. Okay, So, and this is like 241 00:12:42.840 --> 00:12:45.639 it's rumor, has it right? Like I mean like it's 242 00:12:45.639 --> 00:12:46.720 a legend kind of thing. 243 00:12:46.919 --> 00:12:51.159 Yeah, but let's just play with the idea for a 244 00:12:51.159 --> 00:12:55.279 second here. How the fuck would a calcified heart still 245 00:12:55.320 --> 00:12:55.799 be beating? 246 00:12:56.759 --> 00:13:01.840 It wasn't? Oh, okay, I went in the file, ben, 247 00:13:01.960 --> 00:13:02.679 that's where it went. 248 00:13:02.759 --> 00:13:05.720 When he was alive with a calcified heart in his chest, 249 00:13:06.080 --> 00:13:07.159 how would he still be alive? 250 00:13:07.600 --> 00:13:09.799 He was only like twenty eight or twenty nine or 251 00:13:09.799 --> 00:13:13.639 whatever when he died, so he was like young. I 252 00:13:13.679 --> 00:13:15.679 just don't so if that's the case, that you would 253 00:13:15.919 --> 00:13:17.679 kind of even imagine how long would he have lived? 254 00:13:17.720 --> 00:13:19.840 You know, maybe part of his heart was calcified and 255 00:13:19.879 --> 00:13:21.360 that part was still there. 256 00:13:22.080 --> 00:13:24.320 Because there was like other reports and stuff that said 257 00:13:24.320 --> 00:13:27.320 it was still like charred. So like, I don't think 258 00:13:27.360 --> 00:13:29.519 it was like this pretty preserved. 259 00:13:30.240 --> 00:13:31.519 Yeah, for sure. 260 00:13:31.360 --> 00:13:33.000 Like it was still had some damage to it. 261 00:13:33.080 --> 00:13:33.919 That's fair, that's fair. 262 00:13:34.799 --> 00:13:38.960 Okay. So his his remains were gathered. Now, Mary, being 263 00:13:38.960 --> 00:13:42.240 a woman, apparently wasn't allowed to have been at this funeral. 264 00:13:42.320 --> 00:13:44.360 And I'm not going to go into that. I just 265 00:13:44.639 --> 00:13:47.039 that's just what it said, which I thought was really weird. 266 00:13:47.000 --> 00:13:48.240 Old timey weird stuff. 267 00:13:48.440 --> 00:13:53.120 I know, far we've come, eh, not far enough, Nope, 268 00:13:53.519 --> 00:13:58.720 but ridiculously enough. She was also not immediately given Percy's remains, 269 00:13:59.200 --> 00:14:01.279 but had to convince the holder, who was I think 270 00:14:01.279 --> 00:14:04.480 a friend of Percy's, to be given his remains. 271 00:14:04.600 --> 00:14:07.759 And I'm like, good lord, well at least they were 272 00:14:07.799 --> 00:14:08.279 handed over. 273 00:14:08.440 --> 00:14:10.759 Yeah, he did reluctantly give them over to Mary. 274 00:14:10.840 --> 00:14:11.320 That's good. 275 00:14:12.759 --> 00:14:16.799 And rumor has it that the day she died, that 276 00:14:16.919 --> 00:14:19.279 up until the day she died, she kept his heart 277 00:14:19.320 --> 00:14:19.759 with her. 278 00:14:20.240 --> 00:14:20.960 Oh dang. 279 00:14:21.440 --> 00:14:24.960 And I mean okay, like, in all fairness, like, are 280 00:14:25.000 --> 00:14:28.159 you gonna throw that chit in the garbage? Probably not right? 281 00:14:28.360 --> 00:14:30.320 Get no, yeah, well, I mean bury it with his 282 00:14:30.399 --> 00:14:31.639 remains maybe. 283 00:14:31.679 --> 00:14:37.240 Touche touche. So what she would do, however, was wrap 284 00:14:37.279 --> 00:14:40.159 it in a silk bag and carry it around with 285 00:14:40.279 --> 00:14:44.480 her like on our day to day day to day. Wow, 286 00:14:44.759 --> 00:14:46.480 And that parts of it messed up. I can't really 287 00:14:46.480 --> 00:14:46.919 defend that. 288 00:14:47.600 --> 00:14:50.799 Yeah, that's that's odd. 289 00:14:50.600 --> 00:14:53.120 But I don't know. I feel like maybe it's an 290 00:14:53.120 --> 00:14:56.000 epic love story of sorts, the new Romeo and Juliet. 291 00:14:56.039 --> 00:14:59.159 Perhaps you never know. 292 00:14:59.159 --> 00:15:02.799 I don't. I don't know when was Romeo and Juliet written. 293 00:15:03.679 --> 00:15:06.600 I have no idea. Don't want me to google it. 294 00:15:06.639 --> 00:15:08.360 Probably before this, I would assume. 295 00:15:08.440 --> 00:15:12.000 Do you think I'm googling this? Should we know? I 296 00:15:12.039 --> 00:15:13.519 actually haven't watched that show forever? 297 00:15:13.720 --> 00:15:16.080 That show I like, can you specifically go right right 298 00:15:16.120 --> 00:15:19.960 to the movie, not the book or the play or anything, 299 00:15:20.120 --> 00:15:21.159 just oh, the movie. 300 00:15:21.600 --> 00:15:25.039 I don't at this date Premiere fifteen ninety seven. I 301 00:15:25.039 --> 00:15:27.600 don't know if that's legit. Is it? Probably I was 302 00:15:27.679 --> 00:15:33.840 thinking of another way, way, way earlier, way earlier. Okay, 303 00:15:34.480 --> 00:15:36.240 I don't know. I feel like in my heart it's 304 00:15:36.320 --> 00:15:39.440 kind of like an epic love thing. But I don't 305 00:15:39.440 --> 00:15:41.360 know if people are going there, but I went there. 306 00:15:41.559 --> 00:15:43.120 So I would, I would say, I would. 307 00:15:43.519 --> 00:15:46.639 I feel like she loved him? Yeah, you know, clearly 308 00:15:46.720 --> 00:15:49.279 she thought he was an asshole. She probably wouldn't thrown 309 00:15:49.320 --> 00:15:50.039 in the garbage. 310 00:15:50.080 --> 00:15:51.039 Probably so. 311 00:15:51.120 --> 00:15:55.159 In February first, eighteen fifty one, Mary herself would pass 312 00:15:55.200 --> 00:15:59.000 away from a suspected brain tumor, the heart not being 313 00:15:59.039 --> 00:16:00.679 with her at the time of her death, So there 314 00:16:00.679 --> 00:16:02.919 you go. At some point she must have stopped carrying 315 00:16:02.960 --> 00:16:06.720 it around with her. It wasn't until a year later, 316 00:16:07.039 --> 00:16:10.759 when Mary and Percy's son started cleaning out her belongings 317 00:16:11.240 --> 00:16:15.000 that Percy's heart was found again. It was found in 318 00:16:15.120 --> 00:16:19.399 Mary's writing desk drawer, alongside with hair clippings from their 319 00:16:19.440 --> 00:16:23.639 lost children and notebooks they had shared. Wrapped in a 320 00:16:23.679 --> 00:16:27.320 page of his last written poem was the remains of 321 00:16:27.440 --> 00:16:29.120 Percy's charred heart. 322 00:16:29.919 --> 00:16:35.639 Wow. Yeah, wrapped in the remains of his last written poem, holy. 323 00:16:35.720 --> 00:16:38.000 Page of his last room poems. His last written poem 324 00:16:38.000 --> 00:16:39.600 was actually really long. I was going to read it 325 00:16:39.639 --> 00:16:42.639 on here and I have I have a passage or 326 00:16:42.639 --> 00:16:45.399 whatever to read, but it's really long. So I just 327 00:16:45.440 --> 00:16:46.240 picked the short. 328 00:16:46.080 --> 00:16:47.039 Passage fair enough. 329 00:16:48.840 --> 00:16:53.240 So that last poem that he'd written, Oh the sentence 330 00:16:53.240 --> 00:16:54.440 doesn't make sense, that poll on you. 331 00:16:55.799 --> 00:16:56.480 Thanks. 332 00:16:57.799 --> 00:16:59.639 So the poem that he had written it was about 333 00:16:59.679 --> 00:17:03.840 the death of John Keats, who was also a romantic poet, 334 00:17:04.119 --> 00:17:07.599 who died from tuberculosis. So I just thought that. 335 00:17:07.640 --> 00:17:10.200 Was just interesting that a little parallel there. 336 00:17:10.279 --> 00:17:13.039 Yeah, like his last poem or whatever, A page of 337 00:17:13.079 --> 00:17:17.160 it wrapped his heart and it was about death kind of, 338 00:17:17.200 --> 00:17:19.599 and it was someone that had died from something that 339 00:17:19.640 --> 00:17:23.160 preserved his heart apparently, you know, I don't know. I 340 00:17:23.240 --> 00:17:27.319 just thought that was interesting. So yeah, that's basically the 341 00:17:27.359 --> 00:17:31.000 story of Mary Shelley in her dead husband's heart. And 342 00:17:31.039 --> 00:17:34.400 I wanted to finish off the episode with a passage 343 00:17:33.440 --> 00:17:38.000 from his last written poem, being that there were writers, 344 00:17:38.480 --> 00:17:42.440 and being that his everlasting heart was surrounded by these words. 345 00:17:42.680 --> 00:17:45.160 I don't know if this is what page of the 346 00:17:45.200 --> 00:17:48.480 poem was surrounding his heart. I couldn't find that out, 347 00:17:49.640 --> 00:17:52.079 but I just picked kind of a passage or whatever 348 00:17:52.079 --> 00:17:52.839 that I liked the best. 349 00:17:52.839 --> 00:17:53.720 All right, let's hear it. 350 00:17:54.400 --> 00:17:57.920 So the poem and I didn't look to see here. 351 00:17:58.359 --> 00:18:03.279 We're gonna pause for one second. So the poem was 352 00:18:03.319 --> 00:18:07.839 titled Adonis, this is passage ten, and there was like 353 00:18:08.039 --> 00:18:10.200 fifty five should that be what do you call it? 354 00:18:10.240 --> 00:18:14.519 Passage paragraphs?

But I know like Percy had cheated on 382 00:19:54.000 --> 00:19:56.559 her and I didn't even throw that in there. So 383 00:19:56.599 --> 00:20:01.240 it's like, I don't know. I mean, then maybe that 384 00:20:01.359 --> 00:20:03.559 was more accepted. I don't. I have no idea. I 385 00:20:03.599 --> 00:20:06.599 feel really lucky saying that. But it's like she I 386 00:20:06.640 --> 00:20:09.279 think because there was even one article I read that 387 00:20:09.319 --> 00:20:12.160 she had the opportunity I think to cheat on him 388 00:20:12.720 --> 00:20:14.920 and like he even like was all right with it 389 00:20:15.519 --> 00:20:18.759 or something, and she didn't because she just couldn't to him. Wow, 390 00:20:19.119 --> 00:20:21.599 So I think I feel like she really loved him. 391 00:20:22.079 --> 00:20:23.119 I think so. 392 00:20:23.119 --> 00:20:25.200 So it's kind of it's I don't know, it's just 393 00:20:25.240 --> 00:20:28.519 a sweet, interesting story. And like the fact that she 394 00:20:28.799 --> 00:20:31.359 was the creator of Frankenstein, I think is like dope 395 00:20:31.359 --> 00:20:32.359 as shit and it's. 396 00:20:32.240 --> 00:20:34.759 Got that little like morbid macabre touched to it with 397 00:20:34.799 --> 00:20:37.319 the heart.
