Diane Monologue from For All Time

From For All Time by Rita Wellman

female · anguished · 2:03 min

What can you know of my loss? Your love was a habit. It was the love you could have lavished on a dog, or a horse or anything. But with me—now that he is gone, I have lost everything. I have no place to turn. I haven't even memory, as you have. Your love always took on the color of memory, but mine was a living, flaming thing, necessary as food and drink—as life itself! Nanette. But my love was pure and yours was not. Good God, to think that this thing should ever have happened to us in this house! Madame le Bargy. I heard Nanette's voice. She has a habit of keeping people from me, although I am always glad to see any one. May I know your name?
