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. 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
eard, and when that came, I shaved it off. ME: You shouldn't have done that. It's the one thing you need to be a wise man. HIM: That's right. I have a lofty wrinkled forehead, a burning eye, a jutting nose, large cheeks, black bushy eyebrows, a clean-cut mouth, curving lips, a square face. If this vast chin was covered with a long beard, can you imagine 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? HIRSTY AND I DRANK SOMETIMES HOWEVER I GREW A BEARD AND WHEN THAT CAME I SHAVED IT OFF ME YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE DONE THAT IT'S THE ONE THING YOU NEED TO BE A WISE MAN HIM THAT'S RIGHT I HAVE A LOFTY WRINKLED FOREHEAD A BURNING EYE A JUTTY NOSE LARGE CHEEKS BLACK BUSHY EYEBROWS A CLEAN CUT MOUTH CURVING LIPS A SQUARE FACE IF THIS VAST CHIN WAS 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
