THE HOUR-GLASS
First Pupil
Both may still be dreamers;
Unless it's proved the angels were alike.
Second Pupil
What sort are the angels, Teigue?
Third Pupil
That will prove nothing,
Unless we are sure prolonged obedience
Has made one angel like another angel
As they were eggs.
First Pupil
The Master's silent now:
For he has found that to dispute with us—
Seeing that he has taught us what we know—
Is but to reason with himself. Let us away,
And find if there is one believer left.
