Agnes Monologue from The Notorious Mrs. Ebbsmith

From The Notorious Mrs. Ebbsmith by Arthur Wing Pinero

female · philosophical · 51 sec

One supreme hour. Her poor life is like the arch of a crescent; so many years lead up to that hour, so many weary years decline from it. No matter what she may strive for, there is a moment when Circumstance taps her upon the shoulder and says "Woman, this hour is the best that Earth has to spare you." It may come to her in calm or in temper, lighted by a steady radiance or by the glitter of evil stars; but however it comes, be it good or evil, it is her hour--let her dwell upon every second of it!
