AGMAR You say you saw us?
MAN Yes, Master. Not as you are now, but otherwise. We implore you, Master, not to wander at evening. You are terrible in the gloaming. You are.... AGMAR You say we appeared not as we are now. How did we appear to you? MAN Otherwise, Master, otherwise. AGMAR But how _did_ we appear to you? MAN You were all green, Master, all green in the gloaming, all of rock again as you used to be in the mountains. Master, we can bear to see you in flesh like men, but when we see rock walking it is terrible, it is terrible. AGMAR That is how we appeared to you? MAN Yes, Master. Rock should not walk. When children see it they do not understand. Rock should not walk in the evening. AGMAR There have been doubters of late. Are they satisfied? MAN Master, they are terrified. Spare us, Master. AGMAR It is wrong to doubt. Go, and be faithful. (Exit Man.) SLAG What have they seen, Master? |
