Rosmer Monologue from Rosmersholm

From Rosmersholm by Henrik Ibsen

I know--that is true enough. And then comes this overwhelming blow. Rebecca (standing behind him, with her arms on the back of his chair). How beautiful it was when we used to sit there downstairs in the dusk--and helped each other to plan our lives out afresh. You wanted to catch hold of actual life--the actual life of the day, as you used to say. You wanted to pass from house to house like a guest who brought emancipation with him--to win over men's thoughts and wills to your own--to fashion noble men all around you, in a wider and wider circle--noble men!
