From Cæsar's Wife: A Comedy in Three Acts by W. Somerset (William Somerset) Maugham

male · anguished · 52 sec

Why didn't you answer my letters? (VIOLET: I hadn't anything to say.) I wonder if you can imagine what I went through, the eagerness with which I looked forward to a letter from you, just a word or two would have satisfied me, how anxiously I expected each post, and my despair when day after day went by. (VIOLET: You ought not to have written to me.) D'you think I could help myself? Have you forgotten that day when we thought we were never going to meet again? If you wanted me to be nothing more than a friend why did you tell me you loved me? Why did you let me kiss you and hold you in my arms?
