Ragged Person Monologue from To Damascus

From To Damascus by August Strindberg

male · anguished · 48 sec

Is there anything wrong with it? BEGGAR Mr. Chairman! May I speak? Gentlemen, in this life I've not allowed thyself to be easily deceived, but this time I have been. My friend in the chair there has convinced me that I've been completely deceived on the question of his power of judgment and sound understanding, and I feel touched. There are limits to pity and limits also to cruelty. I don't like to see real merit being dragged into the dust, and this man's worth a better fate than his folly's leading him to.
