Guido Monologue from The Duchess of Padua

From The Duchess of Padua by Oscar Wilde

male · anguished · 42 sec

No, do not touch me, Between us lies a thin red stream of blood; I dare not look across it: when you stabbed him You stabbed Love with a sharp knife to the heart. We cannot meet again. DUCHESS For you! For you! I did it all for you: have you forgotten? You said there was a barrier between us; That barrier lies now i’ the upper chamber Upset, overthrown, beaten, and battered down, And will not part us ever.
