From The Slave with Two Faces by Mary Carolyn Davies

any · dark · 1:02 min

For twelve hours you shall toil at what you hate. For an hour you shall work at what you love, to keep the wound fresh, to make the torture keener. Old Man. Ah, pity! Do not be so cruel! Let me forget the work I love! Life. Dog! Take what I give you! It is not by begging that you may win anything from me! A Voice. Give me a dream! A dream to strengthen my hands! Another Voice. A little love to make the day less terrible! Third Voice. Only rest, a little rest! Time to think of the sea, and of grasses blowing in the wind. A Woman. Master!
