Peer Gynt meets the strange passenger for the first time in the storm.
PEER
What a raging storm!
THE PASSENGER
Ay, a blessed one, man!
PEER
A blessed one?
THE PASSENGER
The sea's running high as houses.
Ah, one can feel one's mouth watering!
just think of the wrecks that to-night will be shattered;-
and think, too, what corpses will drive ashore!
