Gunnar Monologue from The Father

From The Father by August Strindberg

male · melancholic · 39 sec

The wild fire of the viking's blood still burns in your veins, but it shall be quenched. A day and a night shall I wait for you. And you will come--mild as a dove seeking shelter, although you now would fly above the clouds like a wild falcon. But I still hold the ribbon in my hand--that is your love, which you cannot tear away. When twilight falls again you will come. Till then, farewell. (Goes to the door and stops.) GUNLÖD. (Silent.)
