I? But I told you I was a writer. But what made you think of that?

Miss

Because you said the piece you are playing is your own.

Poet

Yes … perhaps it is, perhaps it isn’t. But that doesn’t matter. Well? Anyway it doesn’t matter who composed it, if only it is beautiful. Don’t you agree?

Miss

Of course … it must be beautiful … that’s the chief thing!—
