Now … I’m ready.
Poet
Come, sweetheart.
(They go out)
THE POET AND THE ACTRESS
A room in an inn in the country. It is an evening in spring; moonlight floods the meadows and hills; the windows are open. A deep silence reigns. The Poet and the Actress enter, and as they cross the threshold, the candle which the Poet is carrying in his hand is blown out.
