IN THE HOUSE OF THE WEAVER
WEAVER ( examining the cloth ) What !
SOM ( almost hysterically) Yes!
WEAVER Yes ?
SOM
Yes! can't you see?
WEAVER I'm afraid I can't ! I can't see it, but I think I can feel it! I can't see it because it strikes me blind with its excess of glow.
SOM Here ! here! (he brings the cloth close to
his eyes )
WEAVER (sniffing as though he smells a rare perfume ) I can smell it, it bears the perfume of the Spirit-(he almost half-closes his eyes as
in a delirium )
SOM I can see it, you can't !
WEAVER I can smell it - you can't
(they repeat the dialogue while coming closer to each other. The rhythm starts them off on a dance)
