Gerald Barlow Monologue from Touch and Go: A Play in Three Acts

From Touch and Go: A Play in Three Acts by D. H. (David Herbert) Lawrence

male · contemplative · 48 sec

Father gone up? (ANABEL: Yes.) I thought I heard him. Has he been talking too much?--Poor father, he will take things to heart. (ANABEL: Tragic, really.) Yes, I suppose it is. But one can get beyond tragedy--beyond the state of feeling tragical, I mean. Father himself is tragical. One feels he is mistaken--and yet he wouldn't be any different, and be himself, I suppose. He's sort of crucified on an idea of the working people. It's rather horrible when he's one's father.--However, apart from tragedy, how do you like being here, in this house?
