From Master Olof: A Drama in Five Acts by August Strindberg

male · defiant · 57 sec

Yes, Olof, you know me. Deny me not! Are you afraid of these miserable creatures who do not want their own welfare--and who have never heard the word "freedom"? (Olof: What is your name?) If I told, you would all tremble. Yet you must tremble in order that you may wake out of your sleep. I am named the angel that was cast out and that is to come again ten thousand times; I am named the liberator that came too early; I am named Satan because I love you more than my own life; I have been named Luther; I have been named Hus. Now I am named Anabaptist! (Crowd: Anabaptist!) Do you know me now, Olof?
