Dunsany, Lord (Edward J. M. D. Plunkett), 1878-1957

"Far"


QUEEN: See the dream there. Look at those. They seem to walk dreamily as
they walk in the dream.
ZOON: It is because they have not love, which is only here.
QUEEN: Look! Look at those dreamers in the dream.
ZOON: They are running.
QUEEN: Oh! Look!
ZOON: They are pursued.
QUEEN: The brown ones are pursuing them with spears.
ZOON: It is Prince Meliflor, Prince Moomoomon, Prince Ximenung that run
in the dream. And the Prince of Huz. The brown men are close.
QUEEN: The brown ones are overtaking them.
ZOON: Yes, they are closer.
QUEEN: Look! Prince Ximenung!
ZOON: Yes, he is dead in the dream.
QUEEN: The Prince of Huz?
ZOON: Speared.
QUEEN: Still, still they are killing them.
ZOON: It is all the Hundred Princes.
QUEEN: They are killing them all.
ZOON: A sad sight once.
QUEEN: Once?
ZOON: I should have wept once.
QUEEN: It is so far off now.
ZOON: It is so far, far off. We can only feel joy upon this holy
mountain.
QUEEN: Only joy. (_He sighs as he looks._) Look! (_He sighs again._)
ZOON: There falls the poor Prince Meliflor.
QUEEN: How huge a thrust it was with the great spear.
ZOON: He is dead.
QUEEN: Are you not happy?
ZOON: Yes.
QUEEN: In your voice there seemed to sound some far-off thing.
