DAVID.
Yes, yes, Nullius,—a man.
ANATHEMA.
Did not love deceive Leizer? It said to him: "I shall do everything,"—and it raised only dust on the road like the blind wind from behind a corner, which bursts in noisily and lies down quietly, which blinds the eyes and stirs up the dust. Let us go, then, to Him who gave love to David, and ask Him: "Wherefore did you deceive our brother David?"
DAVID.
Yes, yes, Nullius! Of what good is love to man if it is powerless? Of what good is life if there is no immortality?
ANATHEMA.
Rapidly.
Go out and tell this to them,—they will listen to you. They will lift their voice to Heaven—and we shall hear the answer of Heaven, David! Tell them the truth and you will stir up the earth.
DAVID.
