Sigismund Monologue from Life Is a Dream

From Life Is a Dream by Pedro Calderón de la Barca

male · philosophical · 54 sec

Nothing surprised me, nothing scared, Because for everything I was prepared; But if I felt for aught, or more or less Of admiration, 'twas the loveliness Of woman; I have read Somewhere in books on which my spirit fed, That which caused God the greatest care to plan, Because in him a little world he formed, was man; But this were truer said, unless I err, Of woman, for a little heaven he made in her; She who in beauty from her birth Surpasses man as heaven surpasseth earth; Nay, more, the one I see. ROSAURA (aside). The Prince is here; I must this instant flee.
