Nobody knew where he was, nobody could tell.
you could now see, they said, what the world and people really looked like
out in the world little bits of glass were still flying in the air
people put them on to see correctly and judge rightly
for their hearts became just like ice
saw everything distorted and only looked for the bad things
They few around the wide world, and when they got into peoples’ eyes, they stuck there
Some of them were as big as a grain of sand
and then the glass grimaced so hard that it fell out of their hands
