Présentation de l'éditeur
The SINNER. The IGNORAMUS. The SAINT. The WOMAN WORLDLY WISE. The HERMIT. AS eries of DUMB SHOWS. BALLET INFERNAL. A pool in the heart of the primeval forest. Close beside it, a human habitation half lodge, half chapel. The pool is fed by a small stream which, rising high above, forms a waterfall over a ledge of rock; and it is emptied by means of a wider stream which flows into a lake lying many feet below. Close to the edge of the pool a flock of lambs are grazing, and two or three swans, with their young, float upon its surface. The spot is closed in by a chain of mountain-peaks pink in the latest moment of the sunset glow, and upon the lightly ruffled bosom of the pool itself one sees the dancing double of the evening star. Present: the SAINT and the SINNER. She is robed in a fluttering tissue of celestial blue; he is clad in penitential garb and reclines on a rustic couch beside which rests his harp; he has left some of his best years behind him, and his face shows the scars and flushes of a hundred stranse sins Roi -.
