A: Good night, good night... Parting is such sweet sorrow... that I shall say good night, till it be tomorrow... sleep dwell upon thine eyes, peace in thy breasts... would I were sleep and peace, so sweet to rest... Hence will I to my ghostly father's cell... his help to crave, and my dear hap to tell!

A: [final lines] When I return, It will be with another man's clothes. Another man's name. My coming will be unexpected. If you look at me unbelieving, and say "You are not He", I will show you signs and you will believe me. I will tell you about the lemon tree in your garden. The corner window that lets in the moonlight. And then signs of the body, signs of love. And as we climb, trembling, to our old room, between one embrace and the next , etween lovers' calls, I will tell you about the journey all the night long. And in all the nights to come. Between one embrace and the next. Between lovers' calls. A whole human adventure. The story that never ends...
