Rosaura Monologue from Life Is a Dream

From Life Is a Dream by Pedro Calderón de la Barca

female · contemplative · 50 sec

So strange a misadventure who has seen? But if my sight deceives me not, between These rugged rocks, half-lit by the moon's ray And the declining day, It seems, or is it fancy? that I see A human dwelling? (CLARIN: So it seems to me, Unless my wish the longed-for lodging mocks.) A rustic little palace 'mid the rocks Uplifts its lowly roof, Scarce seen by the far sun that shines aloof. Of such a rude device Is the whole structure of this edifice, That lying at the feet Of these gigantic crags that rise to greet The sun's first beams of gold, It seems a rock that down the mountain rolled.
