(Returning and entering.) All that was beneath thee is not!
THE LORD
’Tis well!
AMBITION
’Tis well! Hail, Lord! As thou wouldst, I have ended thy dreams! Canst thou not rest?
THE LORD OF THE UNIVERSE
(Writhing.) Oh, ho, ho, ho! Oh, ho, ho, ho! I dream! I dream! It is too much! Destroy! Destroy! I will have peace! I will have peace! (He turns and writhes, sinking in weariness as he does so, and partially disappearing. Æons elapse.)
FIRST POWER OF DARKNESS
(Beginning to fade in the brain of the Lord.) It is of me that he ceases to think! I fail! (He disappears.)
