A square of darkness opening in it—

Fife. Oh,

I don’t half like such openings!—

Ros. Like the loom

Of night from which she spins her outer gloom—

Fife. Lord, Madam, pray forbear this tragic vein

In such a time and place—

Ros. And now again

Within that square of darkness, look! a light

That feels its way with hesitating pulse,
