ANOTHER FIGURE
And I was gripped
Electrons in a granite stone,
Now I think.

ANOTHER FIGURE
Oh, how alone!

ANOTHER FIGURE
My lips to thine. Through thee I find
Something alone by love divined!

BEELZEBUB
Begone! No, wait. I have bethought me, friends;
Let s give a play.

(He waves his trumpet.)

To yonder green rooms go.

(The figures disappear.)

YOGARINDRA
Oh, yes, a play! That’s very well, I think,
But who will be the audience? I must throw
Illusion over all.

LOKI
And I must shift
The scenery, and tangle up the plot.

BEELZEBUB
Well, so you shall! Our audience shall come
From yonder graves.
