Solness Monologue from The Master Builder

From The Master Builder by Henrik Ibsen

Who called for the helpers and servers? It was I! And they came and obeyed my will. That is what people call having the luck on your side; but I must tell you what this sort of luck feels like! It feels like a great raw place here on my breast. And the helpers and servers keep on flaying pieces of skin off other people in order to close my sore!--But still the sore is not healed--never, never! Oh, if you knew how it can sometimes gnaw and burn!
