Anathema Monologue from Anathema: A Tragedy in Seven Scenes

From Anathema: A Tragedy in Seven Scenes by Leonid Andreyev

male · anguished · 1:05 min

When the lark sings in the blue sky, will you say to it: "Be silent, little bird, God does not need your song"--And will you not give a kernel to it when it is hungry? And will you not cover it upon your breast when it is cold, that it may feel warm and save its voice for Spring? Who are you, then, unfortunate man, who has no pity on birds and who turns children out into the storm? Remember how your little Moishe died. Remember, David, and say: "The people are vicious, wicked, and unworthy of my kindness!" David bends his knees as under a heavy weight and lifts his hands, as though warding off from his head a blow from the sky. He speaks hoarsely.
