Edstaston Monologue from Great Catherine (Whom Glory Still Adores)

From Great Catherine (Whom Glory Still Adores) by Bernard Shaw

male · philosophical · 44 sec

Ahem! Silence. Catherine reads on. (CATHERINE: Wie komisch!) Ahem! ahem! Silence. CATHERINE (soliloquizing enthusiastically). What a wonderful author is Monsieur Voltaire! How lucidly he exposes the folly of this crazy plan for raising the entire revenue of the country from a single tax on land! how he withers it with his irony! how he makes you laugh whilst he is convincing you! how sure one feels that the proposal is killed by his wit and economic penetration: killed never to be mentioned again among educated people!
