luck and courage. And that’s all I’ve got to say about it.
Pieris (to Elan Chol):
I am old, it is true, but I also am resolved to proceed to the New Land. My spirits were already drooping a little, but now once more I hope, I have faith, I am resurrected by new hopes.
First Man:
Do you hear that? He’s going there too.
Pieris:
See! What I have dreamt of all my life, it is here, it is before us, it has become a reality. No, no. From the old continents nothing more can be awaited; the old continents are played out; they are incapable of giving birth to new life; but there, there upon new foundations a new world is becoming an accomplished fact. At last! Now we have lived to see it. Already I behold the dawn of a new morning. Yonder, yonder shall perhaps fall to our lot the golden age of mankind which the ages have desired.
The Stripling:
Do you hear that? Do you hear? The golden age.
Pieris:
And like Simeon
The Man with the Spade:
Sirs, pardon us for disturbing you. There is something we should like you to explain to us.
