THE HOUR-GLASS
173
Had gripped the threshold stone?
[Fool has begun to blow the dandelion.
What are you doing?
Fool
Wait a minute—four—five—six—
Wise Man
What are you doing that for?
Fool
I am blowing the dandelion to find out what hour it is.
Wise Man
You have heard everything, and that is why
You'd find what hour it is—you'd find that out,
That you may look upon a fleet of devils
Dragging my soul away. You shall not stop,
