소설 키다리 아저씨 영어 오디오북 ( 32 )
I asked no other thing,
No other was denied.
I offered Being for it;
The mighty merchant smiled.
Brazil? He twirled a button
Without a glance my way:
But, madam, is there nothing else
That we can show to-day?
That is a poem. I don’t know who wrote it or what it means.
It was simply printed out on the blackboard when we arrived and we were ordered to comment upon it.
When I read the first verse I thought I had an idea — The Mighty Merchant was a divinity who distributes blessings in return for virtuous deeds—but when I got to the second verse and found him twirling a button, it seemed a blasphemous supposition, and I hastily changed my mind.
The rest of the class was in the same predicament and there we sat for three quarters of an hour with blank paper and equally blank minds.
Getting an education is an awfully wearing process!
But this didn’t end the day. There ’s worse to come.
