Dippold the optician

What do you see now?

Globes of red, yellow, purple.

Just a moment! And now?

My father and mother and sisters.

Yes! And now?

Knights at arms, beautiful women, kind faces.

Try this.

A field of grain -- a city.

Very good! And Now?

A young woman with angels bending over her.

A heavier lens! And Now?

Many women with bright eyes and open lips.

Try this.

Just a goblet on a table.

Oh I see! Try this lens!

Just an open space -- I see nothing in particular.

Well, now!

Pine trees, a lake, summer sky.

That's better. And now?

A book.

Read a page for me.

I can't. My eyes are carried beyond the page.

Try this lens.

Depths of air.

Excellent! and now?

Light, just light, making everything below a toy world.

Very well, we'll make the glasses accordingly
