Mrs Borkman Monologue from John Gabriel Borkman

From John Gabriel Borkman by Henrik Ibsen

female · defiant · 37 sec

Oh, no, it shall be no pillar of metal or stone. And no one shall be suffered to carve any scornful legend on the monument I shall raise. There shall be, as it were, a quickset hedge of trees and bushes, close, close around your tomb. They shall hide away all the darkness that has been. The eyes of men and the thoughts of men shall no longer dwell on John Gabriel Borkman!
