Maeterlinck, Maurice, 1862-1949

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

It is the break of
day_.
(_Enter_ TYLTYL, MYTYL, LIGHT, BREAD, WATER, SUGAR, FIRE _and_
MILK) You would never guess where we are....
TYLTYL
Well, no, Light, because I don't know....
LIGHT
Don't you recognise that wall and that little door?...
TYLTYL
It is a red wall and a little green door.
LIGHT
And doesn't that remind you of anything?...
TYLTYL
It reminds me that Time shewed us the door....
LIGHT
How odd people are when they dream.... They do not recognise their own
hands....
TYLTYL
Who is dreaming?... Am I?...
LIGHT
Perhaps it's myself.... Who can tell?... However, this wall contains a
house which you have seen more than once since you were born....
TYLTYL
A house which I have seen more than once since I was born?...
LIGHT
Why yes, sleepy-head!... It is the house which we left one evening, just a
year ago, to a day....
TYLTYL
Just a year ago?... Why, then....
LIGHT
Come, come!... Don't open great eyes like sapphire caves.... It's the dear
old house of your father and mother....
TYLTYL (_going up to the door_)
But I think.... Yes, really.... It seems to me.... This little door.... I
recognise the wooden pin.... Are they in there?.
