I mean are you happy the way things are in general?
Miss
Well, they might be better.
Poet
You misunderstand me. You have told me enough about your conditions at home. I know you are not a princess. Leaving all that aside, do you feel alive. Do you feel life pulsing through you?
Miss
Come, have you a comb?
Poet
(Goes to the dressing-table, hands her a comb, and watches her) Good Lord, how lovely you look!
