 THE CURSE AT FAREWELL

Here smiles are not the cheap things you have known.

But go—you are wasting time, of course ! Yes, go!

Your goddesses, my friend, impatient grow.

What, you are off! A word, and all is done |

And thus, after a thousand years have gone,

Farewell |

KACH

Debjani, what have I done wrong?

DEBJANI Ah me! These lovely groves have through a long Millennium thrown for you their grateful shade, Their murmuring leaves and birds have music made. 22
