Gordon. O—Time [35]
Works miracles. In one hour many thousands
Of grains of sand run out; and quick as they,
Thought follows thought within the human soul.
Only one hour! Your heart may change its purpose,
His heart may change its purpose—some new tidings [40]
May come; some fortunate event, decisive,
May fall from Heaven and rescue him. O what
May not one hour achieve!
Butler. You but remind me,
How precious every minute is!
(He stamps on the floor.)
