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 · anguished · 44 sec

Time or not time, you went--you disappeared and left us high and dry--and I am still angry.--But I'm not only angry about that. I'm angry with the colliers, with Labour for its low-down impudence--and I'm angry with father for being so ill--and I'm angry with mother for looking such a hopeless thing--and I'm angry with Oliver because he thinks so much--- (ANABEL: And what are you angry with yourself for?) I'm angry with myself for being myself--I always was that. I was always a curse to myself. (ANABEL: And that's why you curse others so much?) You talk as if butter wouldn't melt in your mouth.
