BONIFACE.

Beloved,
Why have you left Soracte?

CARLOMAN.

Visitors
Wasted my leisure: I became a sight,
Like some caged animal.

ZACHARIAS.

He leaves to-day
For Mount Casino.

BONIFACE.

[to Carloman] You are happy?

CARLOMAN.

Yes ...
Oh, no, not happy; it is different:
Not as you feel when you have won the goal,
But as you feel when racing.
