Vera Monologue from Carlyon Sahib: A Drama in Four Acts

From Carlyon Sahib: A Drama in Four Acts by Gilbert Murray

female · philosophical · 50 sec

Don't say a woman, say a child! I know this, and I am ready for the bigger life. It is the lesson you have always taught me. (CARLYON: Have you learned it?) I learned it when I learned to honour you. I always thought of you---- may I say what I thought? (CARLYON: Go on?) Just what I always felt about the sea. It is so deep, so great, so far beyond everything else, that though all the waste things of the world are cast upon it, it takes no stain from them, it is always pure and strong. I thought you were like that.
