Stranger Monologue from To Damascus

From To Damascus by August Strindberg

male · anguished · 43 sec

The results even of your good intentions are terrible! You've blown me into the air with my own petard. Why must all our misdeeds come home to roost--both boyish escapades and really evil action? It's fair enough to reap evil where one has sown it. But I've never seen a good action get its reward. Never! It's a disgrace to Him who records all sins, however black or venial. No man could do it: men would forgive. The gods... never!
