JONAS. Here is thy favorite wine from Syria. Eat and drink, my lord. Look up. Be not so sad. What matters it if that fair garden be not thine own? Thou still canst see its beauties. It is no less lovely because thou canst not say, "The land is mine!" AHAB. Oh, boy, thou dost not understand. There must have been so many things thy life hath lacked, thou canst not under- stand what one great wish, one great desire, yet unfulfilled, can mean.
JONAS. Ahab, indeed I comprehend too well a great desir...e, but not for earth, or stones, or trees, or herbs. I long for nothing greatly in this world.
AHAB. [Interested. ] Thou sayst thou longst for nothing in this world? Thou, a poor boy, a widow's son with neither goods nor gear of any kind. Thou speakst in jest, hoping in merry way to brighten up mine eyes now dim with tears.
JONAS. Nay, my lord, I jest not. He who hath seen what I have seen can long for nothing which this world can give.
AHAB. Thou speakst like a man of ancient days, yet seventeen years must be thy sum of life.
