ACT TWO
SCENE 1
JEN (To us; holding up Hakija’s book): Ajax:
Everything is brought by time itself
From darkness into light
Then consigned once more to night,
Nothing so catastrophic
That man can trust it never to come to pass,
No promise, nor force of will,
No edifice so fierce, so high,
It cannot come down upon our heads.
We must learn to yield to the gods.
I don’t believe that.
