Cleopas.
My brother, hear.
I am not subtle, cannot gather up
The several threads of counter prophecies
And show them crossing but as woof and warp,
But I trust God and Jesus whom he sent,
Whom we call Lord. God shall save Israel
From all their sins: the promise was set forth
In many signs and many various words,
And came scarce a day later to the world
Than sin itself, which the serpent taught the world.
The promise was because of sins. Shall then
The father of all sins, who is the serpent,
Be master of the world through Israel's sin
Against the promise? Can men thwart God's will?
Jesus also himself declared to us
We should be comforted. How comforted,
If he sleep carelessly among the dead,
And the hope die with him? Since Christ is come
It must be that the promise is fulfilled,
And is fulfilled in him?
The other Disciple.
Fulfilled? But how?
Cleopas.
I know not. Oh, my brother, we must weep,
And the tears darken out the light.
The other Disciple.
We weep
Because the light is gone.
