[joe-frank-list] The opening monologue of 'The Death of Trotsky'

[russellbell at gmail.com]

	The opening monologue of 'The Death of Trotsky' ends with this
sentence:

	 'I'll take you to the prison, to the fortress on the
hillside, where the martyrs of the movement gaze out into the plain,
scarlet blossoms warm and bleeding, falling in the courtyard, are
gathered by the wind and washed by the rain and the nails are for the
body and the body for the tree and the tree is deeply rooted at the
bottom of the sea.'  

 	Joe re-uses it again at 41:10 and the end.

	What does it mean?
