Lyngstrand Monologue from The Lady from the Sea

From The Lady from the Sea by Henrik Ibsen

male · philosophical · 52 sec

Her? Who? (Bolette: She whom he marries. What is she to live for?) She, too, is to live for his art. It seems to me a woman must feel so thoroughly happy in that. (Bolette: Hm, I don't exactly know--) Yes, Miss Wangel, you may be sure of that. It is not merely all the honour and respect she enjoys through him; for that seems almost the least important to me. But it is this--that she can help him to create, that she can lighten his work for him, be about him and see to his comfort, and tend him well, and make his life thoroughly pleasant. I should think that must be perfectly delightful to a woman.
