Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Prayer of the Sword: A Play in Five Acts No, good gaoler. ´Tis but a week since I left prison, and my limbs ache at the sound of bolts and bars. Fare thee well. Serv. May thy fare be as good as thy manners. (Closes the gate and comes down.) Fra Bern. Whose was the voice, good Pietro? Serv. A soldier´s; a surly dog, whose tongue hath as many points as his armour. Fra Bern. Still, he hath brought us a letter. Let us give him thanks for that. Serv. ´Tis for the Father Prior. Fra Bern. We shall know soon what the news is. Perhaps - perhaps, if it be good that we should know. [He resumes his office. Fra Bartolomeo, a tall, gaunt, austere-looking monk, enters L. back and stands watching the scene unobserved. As Pietro crosses, Fra Lucca beckons him over and examines the letter with awed curiosity. Then Pietro goes off into the Monastery. As he does so Fra Bartolomeo comes down and lays his hand lightly on Fra Lucca´s shoulder. Fra Bart. Why should a man cheat his immortal soul? Thou know´st it is ordained we pass each day A little hour in digging our own graves. But we must build these our last earthly homes Not with our hands alone, but with our thoughts; For it is writ, Remember thy last end, And thou shalt never sin. Lucca Brother, forgive.
