From The Lady from the Sea by Henrik Ibsen

male · dramatic · 38 sec

But what on earth!--is it that mad sculptor's sea story, then? (Ellida: Oh, dear Arnholm, perhaps it isn't so mad after all!) Is it that nonsense about the dead man that has moved you so? And I who thought that-- (Ellida: What did you think?) I naturally thought that was only a make-believe of yours. And that you were sitting here grieving because you had found out a family feast was being kept secret; because your husband and his children live a life of remembrances in which you have no part.
