Allmers Monologue from Little Eyolf

From Little Eyolf by Henrik Ibsen

He never called names after her; he never threw stones at her dog. Why, he had never set eyes either on her or her dog till yesterday. So there is no retribution; the whole thing is utterly groundless and meaningless, Asta.--And yet the order of the world requires it.
