So long as the parish bells which toll for them continue to resonate at the twelfth and seventeenth intervals, all will be fine. That's a good thing for him. And that's what I especially value in people of genius. They are good at only one thing. Other than that, nothing.

e how splendid that would look in bronze or marble? ME: Up there beside Caesar, Marcus Aurelius, and Socrates. HIM: No. I'd go better between Diogenes the philosopher and Phryne the prostitute. Like one of them I'm impudent, and I happily hang around the houses of the other. ME: Is your health still good? HIM: Yes, normally it is. But it's not so marvelous today. ME: Why's that? There you are with a belly like Silenus and a face... HIM: A face one might mistake for what's behind the belly. That's because the humour which is making my uncle waste away is apparently making his dear nephew fat. ME: What about your uncle--do you ever see him? HIM: Yes--he walks past me in the street. ME: Hasn't he done anything for you? HIM: If he's done anything for anyone, he's done it without being aware of what he's doing. The man's a philosopher in his own way. He thinks only of himself. To him the rest of the universe isn't worth a damn. His daughter and his wife might as well die whenever they want.  COVERED WITH A LONG BEARD CAN YOU IMAGINE HOW SPLENDID THAT WOULD LOOK IN BRONZE OR MARBLE ME UP THERE BESIDE CAESAR MARGUS AURALIS AND SOCRATES HIM NO I'D GO BETTER BETWEEN DIAGENEES THE PHILOSOPHER AND FRINEY THE PROSTITUTE LIKE ONE OF THEM I'M IMPUDENT AND I HAPPILY HANG AROUND THE HOUSES OF THE OTHER ME IS YOUR HEALTH SO GOOD HIM YES NORMAL IT IS BUT IT'S NOT SO MARVELLOUS TO DAY ME WHY'S THAT THERE YOU ARE WITH A BELLY LIKE SALINAS AND A FACE HIM A FACE ONE MIGHT MISTAKE FOR WHAT'S BEHIND THE BELLY THAT'S BECAUSE THE HUMOUR WHICH IS MAKING MY UNCLE WASTE THE WAVES APPARENTLY MAKING HIS DEAR NEPHEW FAT ME WHAT ABOUT YOUR UNCLE DO YOU EVER SEE HIM HIM YES HE WALKS PAST ME IN THE STREET ME HASN'T HE DONE ANYTHING FOR YOU HIM IF HE'S DONE ANYTHING FOR ANYONE HE'S DONE IT WITHOUT BEING AWARE OF WHAT HE'S DOING THE MAN'S A PHILOSOPHER IN HIS OWN WAY HE THINKS ONLY OF HIMSELF TO HIM THE REST OF THE UNIVERSE ISN'T WORTH A DAM HIS DAUGHTER AND HIS WIFE MIGHT AS WELL DIE WHENEVER THEY WANT
