He has ordered me to throw your soul in the pot, melt it down with other tarnished souls, and make new shiny new buttons out of the molten liquid. The Great Creator does not want me to waste good material. Peer: Melt me down? What are you talking about?īutton Maker: You were born as a shiny bright button on the coat of humanity, but your soul lost its shine, its glitter, and glean. Peer: And what business have you with Peer Gynt, Button Maker?īutton Maker: I have come to melt you down.
Peer: I think you know the answer to that question already, but who are you? Bah! Now who is this person coming through the mist? Surely he will not know me? Peer: Rain rain Go away! I’ve no time for tears! Stop dripping down the back of my neck will you! Who is there on earth that does not have bad memories, regrets, lost loves? But life goes on and I must press on with my journey. Peer:(bad tempered) Now Who calls my name? Peer: Stop your silly rhymes and your rotten dogrel!īah, the drops of rain are dripping on me from the branches of the trees. I am still wearing my robes from warmer climes. It is damp, misty and cold, and I am not dressed for this Northern weather. You will make fine fertiliser for the roots of trees. Peer: You withered leaves are not without purpose. Now I am tramping over the mountain path to my village. I, with my usual knack of escaping by the seat of my pants, swam safely ashore. I took a ship from Alexandria that broke against the rocks of my home country. Peer: In middle age, I have come back to the land of my youth.
