ANATHEMA.

Furiously.

Then lie to them, Jew!

David goes away from, the door and says mysteriously, with confusion and fear:

DAVID.

Do you know, Nullius, something is going on within me,—I have nothing,—but here I went out to them, I saw them and suddenly I felt that it is not true—I do have something. And I spoke, but I did not believe it myself; I spoke, and yet I felt that I stood with them and shouted against myself, and demanded angrily.... With my lips I declare that I have nothing,'and with my heart I promise them, and with my eyes I cry out, Yes, yes, yes! What shall I do, Nullius? Tell me, are you sure that I have nothing?

Anathema smiles. Sarah's, voice is heard behind the door on the right; a knock at the door.

SARAH.

Let me in, David.

DAVID.
