Sir! O quickly see. For to my breast Again has striving brought you, to my bosom! The bitter nights are ended--the blind pits Sleepless and infinite. Awake! stare not So strangely! press your lips in praise to mine, Your breast upon my breast!... Delay you still? (Myrrha: O sir--!) See, see! the years have been too long. [ (Clasps her, dropping alembic.) My arms have waited an infinitude. [ (She struggles.) Do you not now remember with my lips To yours, the brimming beauty of our youth? (Myrrha: Release me!) Awake and know me! It is I! Your lover Arduin whom once you wooed: Whose every word was to you as a wind Of God! whose every kiss.... Do you not see?
