Know you aught of him?
Juan.
Something and nothing — as I know the sky, Or some great story of the olden time That hides a secret.
Fe alma.
It is hard That such a man should be a prisoner — Be chained to work.
THE SPANISH GIPSY. 29 Oh! they have made their fires beside the streams, Their walls have been the rocks, the pillared pines, Their roof the living sky that breathes with light: They may well hate a cage, like strong-winged birds, Like me, who have no wings, but only wishes.
I will beseec...h the Duke to set them free.
Now, honored Troubadour, bear this casket hence.
Nay, not the necklace: it is hard to place.
[Exit Juan with the casket.] Fed ALMA [looking again at the necklace].
It is his past clings to you, not my own.
If we have each our angels, good and bad, Fates, separate from ourselves, who act for us When we are blind, or sleep, then this man's fate, Hovering about the thing he used to wear, Has laid its grasp on mine appealingly.
So soft a night was never made for sleep, But for the waking of the finer sense.
