Borkman Monologue from John Gabriel Borkman

From John Gabriel Borkman by Henrik Ibsen

male · contemplative · 38 sec

Upon my soul, Ella, it is not so easy to remember one's motives of twenty years ago. I only know that when I used to grapple, silently and alone, with all the great projects I had in my mind, I had something like the feeling of a man who is starting on a balloon voyage. All through my sleepless nights I was inflating my giant balloon, and preparing to soar away into perilous, unknown regions.
