“In fact, I can’t expose a human weakness on the stage unless I know it through having it myself.”

Epigraph

O slinger! crack the nut of my eye! my heart twittered with
 joy under the splendour of the quicklime, the bird sings О 

Senectus!... the streams are in their beds like the cries of 

women and this world has more beauty than a ram's skin 

painted red!
