OHANO. Do you think that satisfies me? I want to find out for myself! I only want you to tell me the way to use this spirit that boils within my blood, thirsts for action!
NIJO. That I never will.
OHANO. Oh, what shall I do? I've even implored the sun and the moon! [Looks toward sea.] Now I must listen to my dreams—my dreams that cry and cry: "Look in the gazing globe! Look in the gazing globe! It will show you the way!" And if it ever does, I'll take that path no matter where it leads.
NIJO. My journey only made me want to come back to the haven of your love, Ohano. The amber cup of glory left me athirst to be wrapped in the mantle of your boundless love and warmed with the glow of your heart.
OHANO. [Surprised.] Your journey has really led you back to me?
NIJO. [Sadly.] You're my only hope. I've been as mad for you as the sea for the moonlight.
OHANO. [Disturbed.] But you had fire and impulse when you went away; and now—well, you do still yearn for me?
NIJO. [Quietly, without passion.] The hope for your love has been the light of my brain, changing from life to dream, from earth to star.
OHANO. My thirst for glory has been that way; but Zama tells me it is as nothing in the kiss of love. If love has that power, I am willing to forget all else. Kiss me, Nijo!
NIJO. At last my lips will press yours, as the sun flames to an immortal moment when it meets the sky.
