I would not lift my finger now to have a thousand heads. THE SHE-ANCIENT. But what would I not give to have no head at all? No head at all? Why? How? THE HE-ANCIENT. Can you not understand?
If you choose me, we shall have only a year's happiness before I break your heart by growing up. Better choose the youngest you can find. THE NEWLY BORN. I will not choose anyone but you. You must not grow up. THE SHE-ANCIENT. Listen, child THE NEWLY BORN. Do not come near me, you dreadful old creature. You frighten me. ACIS. Just give her another moment. She is not quite reasonable yet.
And suddenly it came into my mind that this monstrous machinery of heads and limbs was no more me than my statues had been me, and that it was only an automaton that I had enslaved. MARTELLUS. Enslaved? What does that mean? THE SHE-ANCIENT. A thing that must do what you command it is a slave; and its commander is its master. These are words you will learn when your turn comes.
THE NEWLY BORN. I want some clean air. THE HE-ANCIENT. The air will be clean in a moment. This doll flesh that children make decomposes quickly at best; but when it is shaken by such passions as the creatures are capable of, it breaks up at once and becomes horribly tainted. THE SHE-ANCIENT. Let it be a lesson to you all to be content with lifeless toys, and not attempt to make living ones.
