ALI SLOPER; OR, THE FORTY LIARS
43
The Chairman.
All those below the grade of Lords of the Absence
of Paths in the Abyss of the Great Gulf Fixed will kindly
leave
the
Court.
I will myself set the example.
[Exeunt
Bonus and BOWLEY
:011'.
Bowie]. Your method of keeping silence
is a good one.
Dialogue
is
the best form, after all.
But hush!
who comes?
Enter the YONLY YEATS, with druid apple-blossom
in his hair, and
the druid casting-net qf the stars in one hand.
Doe: his turn and
exit.
Boner. To
continue—True!
And
saying
“ true,”
let
us
discuss
“truth.”
In
the
lower
worlds,
where
are
we?
Take this frivolous
Mrs. I.
Why does
she elude Mrs. 1.?
From fear.
Bowley.
Fear is failure.
Bones.
More, G. H. Frater!
It is the forerunner of failure.
Bowley.
I certainly recommend people to be without fear.
Bones. The more so that in the heart of the
coward virtue abideth
not.
Bowley.
Pass thou on!
Bones.
1 take in my hand page 39 of your able monograph
and
follow my guide Axiokersos,
the Second of the Samothracian
Kabeiri,
to the Portal on whose veil is written “ No separate Existence!
” If I
assert my own point of view, I deny the Unity—~But hush!
who comes
here?
Enter WHITEHEAD, equilibrirt,
doe: his turn, makes a LongNose, and
exit.
Bowley.
Re what you said just now, you can’t play at Kether down
in Malkutb!
Bones.
1 scorn the remark.
Wait!
By answering the fool according
to his folly—
Bowley.
You degrade yourself
to his level.
But hush!
who comes
here?
