Old Man In The Tower Monologue from Lucky Pehr

From Lucky Pehr by August Strindberg

male · defiant · 42 sec

Prompted by caution, which demands darkness-- (PEHR: By the glow of contentment's calm light--) Which they stole from the spice stall, and their delight is in planning the next expedition to the city market. I know it, do you hear! And up there, in the palace, where the lights glisten by the thousands and mirror themselves in the wines' sour streams--there they roll--empty heads and empty hearts--who say that they think and feel for the people's welfare! There they roll, between bottles and dishes-- (PEHR: Why do you talk so fast? Let me continue--) No! Away with you and obey, boy!
