Ulrich Michaelis Monologue from The Faith Healer: A Play in Three Acts

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

What I am is no matter. What this girl is, though you lived a thousand years, you would never have the grace to imagine. She gave you her young love, in childish blindness, not knowing what she did, and you killed it idly, wantonly, as a beast tortures its frail victim, for sport. You find her again, still weak and bleeding from her wounds, and you fling her marriage, in words whose every syllable is an insult. Marriage! When every fibre of her nature must cry out against you, if she is woman. Take your words and your looks from her, and that instantly, or you will curse the day you ever brought your evil presence into her life. (He advances upon him threateningly.) Instantly, I say, or by the wrath of God your wretched soul, if you have one, shall go this hour to its account!
