Lisa Monologue from Lucky Pehr

From Lucky Pehr by August Strindberg

female · romantic · 47 sec

(Comes out.) Here! (They embrace.) (PEHR: Now you will not leave me again?) No, Pehr, for now I believe you love me. (PEHR: What good fairy sent you across my pathway?) Do you still believe in good fairies? Mark you, when a little baby boy is born into the world, a little baby girl is also born somewhere; and they seek and seek until they find each other. Sometimes they go amiss as to the right one, then it turns out badly; sometimes they never find each other, then there is much sorrow and affliction; but when they find each other, then there is joy, and it is the greatest joy life holds.
