Scene 8 by Pierre Carlet de Chamblain de Marivaux Lyrics
8
EGLÉ
EGLÉ (Alone.): Ah!, he's not here, I'm on my own.
He's not here any more, I can't hear his voice any more, there's nothing any more but the mirror. (She looks at herself in it.)
Getting rid of my Man was a mistake, Carise and Mesrou don't know what they're talking about.
(Looking at herself.) If I'd looked at myself properly, Azor needn't have gone at all -- you could love what's in there always easily, no need to do this separation thing... Right, I'm going to sit with the puddle, at least it's another mirror.
