The Countess Terzky Monologue from The Death of Wallenstein

From The Death of Wallenstein by Friedrich Schiller

female · anguished · 54 sec

Oh, take us with you, brother. Leave us not in this gloomy solitude. To brood o'er anxious thoughts. The mists of doubt Magnify evils to a shape of horror. (WALLENSTEIN: Who speaks of evil? I entreat you, sister, Use words of better omen.) Then take us with you. Oh leave us not behind you in a place That forces us to such sad omens. Heavy And sick within me is my heart-- These walls breathe on me like a churchyard vault. I cannot tell you, brother, how this place Doth go against my nature. Take us with you. Come, sister, join you your entreaty! Niece, Yours too. We all entreat you, take us with you!
