From The Faith Healer: A Play in Three Acts by William Vaughn Moody

male · anguished · 51 sec

All my life long I have known you, and fled from you, I have heard you singing on the hills of sleep and have fled from you into the waking day. I have seen you in the spring forest, dancing and throwing your webs of sunlight to snare me; on moonlit mountains, laughing and calling; in the streets of crowded cities, beckoning and disappearing in the crowd--and everywhere I have fled from you, holding above my head the sign of God's power in me, my gift and my mission.--What use? What use? It has crumbled, and I do not care!
