LYRICAL AND DRAMATIC. 105
PERCY.
Where should I go?
VAUGHAN.
Your father—
PERCY.
Has shown me the door.
VAUGHAN.
How have you quarrelled ?
PERCY.
Because I must write.
VAUGHAN,
What do you write about that he dislikes ?
PERCY.
He calls it waste of time.
VAUGHAN.
He may be right. What do you write about?
PERCY.
I write about all the horrible things I see, and try
to find beauty in them, or to make beauty; and I
write about all the beautiful things I only dream of.
I love them all ; yes, even that woman yonder.
