Rafael Monologue from The Ghetto: A Drama in Four Acts

From The Ghetto: A Drama in Four Acts by Herman Heijermans

male · anguished · 49 sec

Ah, there was a time--there was a time, when I would have yielded any sacrifice for you--when I was a boy and you had just gone blind, and my heart was wrung with a pity for you that was a very pity in itself. If I had seen tears in your poor sightless eyes, then my peace would have been utterly destroyed; at the thought of having vexed you I should have beaten my brow. And now it's gone--gone--and it won't come back--it can't come back--because you robbed me of it. (SACHEL: I? I? What have I done? And why do you go away?) For reasons all of which I will not tell.
