280 THE EQUINOX With an angel’s smile—save for its subtlety—he was gone into the tablet. She turned, blew on the fire, that started up friendly, and threw herself in an armchair. Idly she strummed oldfashioned simple tunes. The door opened. A jolly lad came in and shook the snow from his furs. “Been too bored, little girl?” he said cheerily, confident. “No, dear!” she said. “I’ve been fiddling a bit.” “Give me a kiss, Lily!” He bent down and put his lips to hers; then, as if struck by lightning, sprawled, a corpse. She looked down lazily through half-shut eyes with that smile of hers that was a snarl. FRANCIS BENDICK.
EHE! A DROP FROM THE SPONGE OF KNOWLEDGE Characters. SIMPLEX. SIMPLICIOR. SIMPLICISSIMUS. THE MOB OF THE PHILISTINES. SIMPLEX. Behold, O men: a Tree deep-rooted— A hundred branches from the mighty Trunk, And on each branch a hundred leaves— An Axe—a Child—a Hand—a Will! THE MOB. Down with the old tree! SIMPLEX. [Unperturbed.] And Oh, He, Ho, the Will so powerful! (After one million years the tree fell) See the result: Toys, TOys, TOYs, TOYS! SIMPLICISSIMUS. [Dogmatic.] The Spirit of Persistency unborn. THE MOB. Down with the Lords! 281
