DAVID
Yes, but only Time can heal it.
VERA [With transition to happiness]
But father seems half-reconciled already! Dear little father, if only he were not so narrow about Holy Russia!
DAVID
If only my folks were not so narrow about Holy Judea! But the ideals of the fathers shall not be foisted on the children. Each generation must live and die for its own dream.
VERA
Yes, David, yes. You are the prophet of the living present. I am so happy.
[She looks up wistfully.]
You are happy, too?
