MYTYL Does that hurt you much, when you break them off?... SUGAR Not at all.... On the contrary, it's a great advantage; they grow again at once and so I always have new, clean fingers.... THE FAIRY Come, children, don't eat too much sugar.... Don't forget that you are to have supper presently with your grandpapa and grandmamma.... TYLTYL Are they here?... THE FAIRY You shall see them at once.... TYLTYL How can we see them, when they are dead?... THE FAIRY How can they be dead, when they live in your memory?... Men do not know this secret, because they know so little; whereas you, thanks to the diamond, are about to see that the dead who are remembered live as happily as though they were not dead.... TYLTYL Is Light coming with us? |
