Bea Monologue from The Lamp and the Bell: A Drama In Five Acts

From The Lamp and the Bell: A Drama In Five Acts by Edna St. Vincent Millay

female · anguished · 52 sec

In sooth, I do not feel the earth so firm Under my feet as yesterday it was. All that I loved are gone to a far land, And left me here alone, save for two children And twenty thousand enemies, and the thing Of horror that's in store for me. Almost I feel my feet uprooted from the earth, There's such a tugging at me to be gone. Save for your children, (Looking off stage towards Bianca's room.) 'twould be simple enough To lay me down beside you in your bed, And call on Death, who is not yet out of hearing, To take me, too. (Enter Fidelio.) (FID: Mistress I have news for you. Guido is dead!) Is dead?
