The Lord of the Universe
(Wearily.) Oh, ho, ho, ho! (He staggers on.)
Fear
Lord, do thou protect me! Do thou conceal me! Forget me not, Lord! Forget me not! I fear! I fear!
Despair
Why dost thou not sleep, Lord? Of what avail are we, thy fancies? Oh, why dost thou not sleep? Sleep! Sleep! Sleep!
The Lord of the Universe
(Staggering on.) Oh, ho, ho, ho! Oh, ho, ho, ho! Space—Time—I have made me these! Suns—Planets—I have made me these! Love—Hate—I have made me these! Hope—Fear—I have made me these! Beauty—I have made me this! Oh, ho, ho, ho! Oh, ho, ho, ho! (He staggers on, gesticulating and laughing stupendously.)
