Hel. Go! go!
Poe. I was dying out there.
Hel. Leave me!
Poe. Life was passing from my veins. Only your eyes could draw back the ebbing flood.
Hel. I will light the lamp! (Turns hastily)
Poe. And put out Heaven’s! (She drops her hand)
Hel. Go, O go at once!
Poe. Again I am alone! The twin angel who put her hand in mine is flown!
Hel. Edgar, be calm!
Poe. Calm! With such a look from you burning me as if I were a devil to be branded? Such words from you hissing like snakes through my brain?
