He said to him in aparté,
There’s a country that stays open
As long as we talk,
No matter how many Egyptians
You and I may have drown –
But, wait ! I didn’t drown any Egyp –
And how many you may have struck –
Wait a minute ! he was flailing the sl –
Strike a single rock in anger however,
Become that raging man against
What you and I chose to call Nature –
Me ? That was Adam ! on order –
And you’ll die at the border
Facing a river flowing from the rock.
