To look ahead,' said he.
And what brought you back in the nick of time?'
Looking behind,' said he.”

“It cannot be seen, cannot be felt,
Cannot be heard, cannot be smelt,
It lies behind stars and under hills,
And empty holes it fills,
It comes first and follows after,
Ends life, kills laughter.”

“You have nice manners for a thief and a liar," said the dragon.”
