PÉLLÉAS.

I, I, and I!… What art thou doing there at the window, singing like a bird that is not native here?

MÉLISANDE.

I am doing my hair for the night…

PÉLLÉAS.

Is it that I see upon the wall?… I thought you had some light….

PÉLLÉAS.

There are innumerable stars; I have never seen so many as to-night;… but the moon is still upon the sea…. Do not stay in the shadow, Mélisande; lean forward a little till I see your unbound hair….
