Satan may worry women if he will, For he was but an angel ere he fell, But I--before I fell--I was a man. OLIVE. He too, my Master, was a man: too strong To fear a strong man's sins: 'tis written He Descended into hell. REDFEATHER. Write, then, that I [_Leaps to the ground before her._] Descended into heaven.... You are ill? OLIVE. No, well.... REDFEATHER. You speak the truth--you are the Truth-- Lady, say once again then, 'I am _well_.' OLIVE. |
