A Fourth: The human voice will continue to cry from nothing to nothing.
A Fifth: The human hand will continue to write, and posterity will bury the writings.
A Sixth: And Shaw alone shall be assured of immortality.
The storm breaks with prodigious force. Eternity arrives.
A Shining One: Yes, the immortals are all in their places. Dante and Cervantes had a squabble last night, but theyve made it up.

The Eternal (apprehensively): Im not at all easy in my own mind about Shaw.
Eternity passes.
Mr. Shaw (on the steps of the eternal throne): Im really very sorry. Its no wish of mine, you know.
