Ellida,—Ellida.

The Stranger.

It is all over then?

Ellida.

Yes.[Yes.] Over for all time!

The Stranger.

I see it. There is something here that is stronger than my will.

Ellida.

Your will has no longer a feather’s weight with me. For me you are a dead man, who has come home from the sea—and who is returning to it again. But I am no longer in terror of you: you fascinate me no more.

The Stranger.
