Theodora (in a broken sentence, as if meditating deeply):

Then when the revelation came no more …

Strader:

’Tis that which often made me sorrowful.

I wondered if ’twere not deep pain to thee

To lose thy seeress’ power of second-sight,

And whether thou didst suffer silently,

Lest I should grieve: and yet thy temperament

Showed thou couldst bear with calmness fate’s decree.
