It is the end!

THE LORD OF THE UNIVERSE

(Stretching prone in space and all but vanishing. Only faint outlines are visible here and there, the brow and face intact.) Peace! Peace! It is enough! It is enough! I have done! Let it be as it ever was from everlasting to everlasting—a dream—a dream! Oh, ho, ho, ho! (He sighs heavily. The last writhing beasts thin and are gone. AMBITION, paling and thinning, stands wide-eyed, agape, before the fading brow of the Lord.)

AMBITION

At last! And I—it is of me he ceases to think—even me! I have done! I have done! (He vanishes.)

BEAUTY

(A thin star in the brow of the Lord, glistering and yet paling.) It is even of me he ceases to think! Lord, hast thou forgotten thy first-born?

THE LORD OF THE UNIVERSE

Peace! Peace! Enter thou into me! (He sighs and begins to vanish completely.)
