The last monologue

When i return
It will be with another man's clothes
and another man's name.
My coming will be unexpected
if you look at me unbelieving me
and say'you are not here'
i will show you signs and you will believe me
i will tell you the lemon tree in your garden
The corner window that lets in the moonlight
and the signs of body, signs of love
And as we climb, trembling, to our old room
Between one embrace and the next
Between 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...

Ulysses' Gaze quotes

  • 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...
