THE PHASES OF THE MOON
99
Aherne
And then?
Robartes
When all the dough has been so kneaded up
That it can take what form cook Nature fancies,
The first thin crescent is wheeled round once more.
Aherne
But the escape; the song's not finished yet.
Robartes
Hunchback and saint and fool are the last crescents.
The burning bow that once could shoot an arrow
Out of the up and down, the wagon wheel
