The Voice
Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they shall be filled!... Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy!...
Mary Magdalene
I want to see!... (She rises and, as though irresistibly drawn by the divine voice, goes as if to descend the steps of the terrace and to make for the bottom of the garden.)
Silanus (in a low voice, trying to hold her back)
Do not go there!...
The Voice
Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God!...
