Nanette Monologue from For All Time

From For All Time by Rita Wellman

female · melancholic · 53 sec

No, Monsieur Robert, I can never forget what you call my—piety. Yes, that is true. My heart has been like one of those vases of domestic use which the ancients buried with the dead in their tombs. All that was warm and beautiful in me is closed away forever with Maurice. Although I was never more to him than a familiar object which was a part of his everyday life. Only his old nurse. Because he was young and beautiful. Maurice would always have been young and beautiful. He loved life. But he always dared to do what he was afraid to do.
