Stranger Monologue from To Damascus

From To Damascus by August Strindberg

male · anguished · 34 sec

I can. I forgive you--and I shall leave you. For if I were to stay, I'd soon grow worse than I am now. The innocent child, whose mission was to ennoble our warped relationship, has been defiled by you in his mother's womb and made an apple of discord and a source of punishment a revenge. Why should I stay here to be torn to pieces?
