Mother Monologue from To Damascus

From To Damascus by August Strindberg

female · anguished · 40 sec

Do. I want to speak seriously to you. I was malicious last night; you must forgive me. It's because of that I need religion; just as I need the penitential garment and the stone floor. To spare you, I'll tell you what nightmares are to me. My bad conscience! Whether I punish myself or another punishes me, I don't know. I don't permit myself to ask. Now tell me what you saw in your room.
