_Queen_: Making riddles you are, and striving to keep the meaning from your comrade, that is myself. _King_: It's best not be thinking about the thing you would not wish, and maybe it might never come around at all. To strive to forget a threat yourself, it might maybe be forgotten by the universe. _Queen_: Is it true something was threatened? _King_: How would I know is anything true, and the world so full of lies as it is? _Nurse_: That is so. He might have been wrong in his foretelling. What is he in the finish but an old prophecy? _Dall Glic_: Is it of Fintan you are saying that? _Queen_: And who, will you tell me, is Fintan? _Dall Glic_: Anyone that never heard tell of Fintan never heard anything at all. _Queen_: His name was not up on the tablets of big men at the King of Alban's Court, or of Britain. |
