Monologue

Guido Monologue from The Duchess of Padua

From The Duchess of Padua by Oscar Wilde

male · dark · 46 sec

The wind is rising: how my ladder shook! I thought that every gust would break the cords! Christ! What a night: Great thunder in the heavens, and wild lightnings Striking from pinnacle to pinnacle Across the city, till the dim houses seem To shudder and to shake as each new glare Dashes adown the street. Ah! who art thou That sittest on the stair, like unto Death Waiting a guilty soul? Canst thou not speak? Or has this storm laid palsy on thy tongue, And chilled thy utterance?
