VLADIMIR
Was I sleeping, while the others suffered?
Am I sleeping now? […] At me too someone is looking,
of me too someone is saying,
He is sleeping, he knows nothing,
let him sleep on. (Pause.)
[…] What have I said? He goes feverishly to and fro,
halts finally at extreme left, broods.(2.795)
Astride of a grave and a difficult birth.
Down in the hole, lingeringly,
the grave digger puts on the forceps.
We have time to grow old.
The air is full of our cries. (He listens.)
But habit is a great deadener.
(He looks again at Estragon.)
At me too someone is looking, of me too someone is saying,
He is sleeping, he knows nothing,
let him sleep on. (Pause.)
I can't go on! (Pause.) What have I said? (2.795)
