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.
