Henry watched them at work quite a while, and they furnished him both amusement and interest. It was a sort of forest idyll. Their energy was marvelous, and they worked always with method. One huge, gray old fellow seemed to direct their movements, and Henry soon saw that he was an able master who tolerated neither impudence nor trifling.
The Daphnis of darkness took flight before the Chloe of shadow. Such was the idyll blooming in a tragedy. Ursus said to them, "Old brutes, adore each other!" Ursus added, "Some of these days I will play them a nasty trick. I will marry them." Ursus taught Gwynplaine the theory of love. He said to him, "Do you know how the Almighty lights the fire called love?
