Where the lamp’s light on sallow corpses falls—

Svanhild.

Shame!

Falk [looking after Strawman who appears at the window].

He was once so brilliant and so strong;

Warred with the world to win his mistress; passed

For Custom’s doughtiest iconoclast;

And poured forth love in pæans of glad song—!

Look at him now! In solemn robes and wraps,

A two-legged drama on his own collapse!
