WARBURTON

Stop, Harry, you’re mistaken.

I mean, you don’t know what I want to tell you.

You may be quite right, but what we are concerned with

Now, is your mother’s happiness in the future,

For the time she has to live: not with the past.

HARRY

Oh, is there any difference!

How can we be concerned with the past

And not with the future? or with the future

And not with the past? What I’m telling you

Is very important. Very important.

You must let me explain, and then you can talk.

I don’t know why, but just this evening

I feel an overwhelming need for explanation—

But perhaps I only dream that I am talking

And shall wake to find that I have been silent

Or talked to the stone deaf: and the others

Seem to hear something else than what I am saying.

But if you want to talk, at least you can tell me

Something useful. Do you remember my father?
