I am the acme of things accomplished, and I an encloser of things to be. Long I was hugged close, long and long. Immense have been the preparations for me, Faithful and friendly the arms that have helped me. Cycles ferried my cradle, rowing and rowing like cheerful boatmen-- For room to me, stars kept aside in their own rings, They sent influences to look after what was to hold me.

Yes, yes, that's what I've been searching. It is splendid to be a part of the great processes of life!
human
Even so, my friend, I have come to congratulate you upon your valour, and your achievement.
gpt
What now, comrade? A rest for a year or so, until the youngling is on his feet?
human
No, no. I am bursting with new ideas for the book. I shall finish it this winter, Martin.
gpt
Not too fast. You have crowded the big experiences into this year, indomitable Jane. 'Easy does it,' as the old proverb says.
human
I have gobbled them down, but I will digest my big experiences slowly, I promise you. I am full of life and vigour and passion for work. This year ought to bring a big harvest.

Your book is in my thoughts a great deal. I have spoken of it to a publisher friend, and he wants to see it. He will appreciate its quality, I know. It will not be a 'best seller,' Jane.
human
Of course not. I don't want it to. I suppose my public is like the baby. I shall get acquainted with it, after it is born, and love it. But just now my mind is full of saying what is in my thoughts--in my heart.
gpt
You will get the audience that belongs to you. 'I know my own shall come to me' is true between author and audience.
human
I haven't told Jerry, yet.
gpt
You are still shy about it?
human
No one knows but you.
gpt
That fact may lead me on over to posterity. It may be my one claim to fame.
human
You're making fun of me, Martin!
gpt
Well, here, we can't have that,
human
Here you are,
gpt
Again my congratulations.
human
Thanks. It's a pretty fine exhibition, isn't it?
gpt
It is--the best you've made,
