Orestes.

Like those two stars that men call Helen's brethren, immortal, never fading——

Hermione.

Oh, I am fading fast, but, perchance, if the spell were off me——

Orestes.

Nay, you shall never fade. There is a blue sunlit island, waterless, desolate—Hear me, daughter of Helen, ageless and deathless!

Hermione.

I hear.

Orestes.
