Ellida Monologue from The Lady from the Sea

From The Lady from the Sea by Henrik Ibsen

female · anguished · 45 sec

He took from his pocket a key-ring--and drew a ring that he always wore from his finger, and he took a small ring I had. These two he put on the key-ring. And then he said we should wed ourselves to the sea. (Wangel: Wed?) Yes, so he said. And with that he threw the key-ring, and our rings, with all his might, as far as he could into the deep. (Wangel: And you, Ellida, you did all this?) Yes--only think--it then seemed to me as if it must be so. But, thank God I--he went away.
