Electra Monologue

From Electra by Euripides

female · dark · 52 sec

Welcome below My narrow roof! But have a care withal, A grime of smoke lies deep upon the wall. Soil not thy robe!... Not far now shall it be, The sacrifice God asks of me and thee. The bread of Death is broken, and the knife Lifted again that drank the Wild Bull's life: And on his breast.... Ha, Mother, hast slept well Aforetime? Thou shalt lie with him in Hell. That grace I give to cheer thee on thy road; Give thou to me--peace from my father's blood! [_She follows her mother into the house_.
