Alva Schoen Monologue from Pandora's Box: A Tragedy in Three Acts

From Pandora's Box: A Tragedy in Three Acts by Frank Wedekind

male · romantic · 46 sec

Through this dress I feel your body like a symphony. These slender ankles, this cantabile. This rapturous crescendo. And these knees, this capriccio. And the powerful andante of lust!--How peacefully these two slim rivals press against each other in the consciousness that neither equals the other in beauty--till their capricious mistress wakes up and the rival lovers separate like the two hostile poles. I shall sing your praises so that your senses shall whirl! (LULU: Meanwhile I'll bury my hands in your hair. But here we'll be disturbed.) You have robbed me of my reason! (LULU: Aren't you coming with me to-day?) But the old fellow's going with you!
