FOUNTAIN GHOST
Because it blows through the garden and drives the souls together.
GHOST OF PERVANEH
What souls?
FOUNTAIN GHOST
The souls of the unborn children who live in the flowers.
GHOST OF PERVANEH
And how do you know about the passage of ten million souls?
FOUNTAIN GHOST
They pass like a comet across the midnight skies.
GHOST OF PERVANEH Phantoms shall not make me fear. But what of Justice and Punishment and Reason and Desire? What of the Lover in the Garden of Peace?
FOUNTAIN GHOST
Ask of the wind.
GHOST OF PERVANEH I shall be answered: I know that in the end I shall find the Lover in the Garden of Peace.
VOICES
And what of Life?
GHOST OF PERVANEH
Who asks, What of Life?
