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.
