THE ROCK

The Rock. The Watcher. The Stranger.
He who has seen what has happened.
And who sees what is to happen.
The Witness. The Critic. The Stranger.
The God-shaken, in whom is the truth inborn.

Enter the ROCK, led by a BOY:
THE ROCK:
The lot of man

I have trodden the winepress alone,
it is hard

happiness, seeking
good deeds to obscurity, accepting
equal face ignominy,
The applause of all or the love of none.
invest

I say to you: your will.
take thought
of

turns and changes,
one
In all
