OOZIZI: Oh, lady, all is silent. No one calls.
QUEEN: It is calling for me now, Oozizi.
OOZIZI: No, no, lady. What calls?
QUEEN: Aether Mountain is calling. I know now who called my mother. It
was Aether Mountain, Oozizi; he is calling.
OOZIZI: I--I scarce dare look out of the golden palace, lady, to where
we must not go. Yet, yet I will look. (_She peers._) Yes, yes, indeed;
there stands old Aether Mountain. But he does not call. Indeed he does
not call. He is all silent in Heaven.
QUEEN: It is his voice, Oozizi.
OOZIZI: What, lady? I hear no voice.
QUEEN: That great, great silence is his voice, Oozizi. He is calling me
out of that blue waste of Heaven.
OOZIZI: Lady, I cannot understand.
QUEEN: He calls, Oozizi.
OOZIZI: Come away, lady. It is bad to look so long. Oh, if the Princes
had not made their clamour heard! Oh, if they had not you had not gone
to the door and seen Aether Mountain, and this trouble had not come.
Oh! Oh! Oh!
QUEEN: There is no trouble upon Aether Mountain.
OOZIZI: Oh, lady, it is terrible that you should leave the palace.
QUEEN: There is no trouble there. Aether Mountain goes all calm into
Heaven. His grey-blue slopes are calm as the sky about him. There he
stands calling. He is calling to me, Oozizi.
