Two little creatures with faces the size of a pair of pennies are clasping each other "Ah do not leave me" One says to the other in the high monkey - cage in the beast shop there are no people to gape at them now for people are loth peer in the dimness have they not builded streets and playhouses sky sign and bars to lose the lonlieness shaking the hearts of the two little monkeys Yes,but who watches the penny small faces can hear the voices "Ah do not leave me suck i wil give you warmth and clasping and if you slip from this beam can never find you again Dim is the evening and chill is the weather there drawn from their coloured hemisphere the apes lilliputian with faces the size of a pair of pennies and voices as low as the flow of my blood.
