(Arising and going to window.)

I shall not die yet.

(Parts the curtains and gazes out.)

Nina

‘Tis the dread

Still clinging from the clutches of the sea,

That living, writhing horror! Ugh! O’er me

Almost I feel the liquid terror crawl!

Through glassy worlds of tortured sleep to fall,

Where winds blow not, nor mornings ever blush,
