Maeterlinck, Maurice, 1862-1949

"The Blue Bird: a Fairy Play in Six Acts"

...
TYLTYL
How?...
THE CHILD (_the one that first talked to_ TYLTYL)
By means of ideas which people have not yet had....
TYLTYL
And the other, that little fat one with his fingers to his nose, what will
he do?...
THE CHILD
He is to discover the fire that will warm the earth when the sun is paler
than now....
TYLTYL
And the two holding each other by the hand and always kissing; are they
brother and sister?...
THE CHILD
No; they are very comical....They are the Lovers....
TYLTYL
What is that?...
THE CHILD
I don't know.... Time calls them that, to make fun of them.... They spend
the day looking into each other's eyes, kissing and bidding each other
farewell....
TYLTYL
Why?...
THE CHILD
It seems that they will not be able to leave together...
TYLTYL
And the little pink one, who looks so serious and is sucking his thumb,
what is he?...
THE CHILD
It appears that he is to wipe out injustice from the earth....
TYLTYL
Oh!...
THE CHILD
They say it's a tremendous work....
TYLTYL
And the little red-haired one, who walks as if he did not see where he was
going, is he blind?...
THE CHILD
Not yet; but he will become so....Look at him well; it seems that he is to
conquer Death.
