Mary Monologue from THE FAR-AWAY PRINCESS

From THE FAR-AWAY PRINCESS by HERMANN SUDERMANN

female · defiant · 42 sec

You can laugh at me, father; you don't understand. It's foolish to talk. But, oh, mother, why is such beauty given to women like Helen Safford who have no inner need of it, and here am I, with a real creative gift, wrapped up in a nondescript package which stands between me and everything I want to do? But I will--ultimately I will make good, in spite of my looks; others have. And what I've suffered will make me a greater artist.
