OLIVE.

But He is all too beautiful
For us who only know of stars and flowers.
The thing within is all too pure and fair,

[_Shudders._]

Of peace and mercy.

[_Struggles with her voice._]

No flesh shall look upon the Lord and live.

REDFEATHER [_sticking his sword in the ground_].

You are the bravest lady in the world.

THE WILD KNIGHT [_dazed_].

May I not go within?

REDFEATHER.

Keep you the law--
