Helena
Oh, Primus, don't bother with the secret of life. What does it matter to you? Come and look quick
Primus
[Going to window]: What is it?
Helena
See how beautiful the sun is rising. And do you hear? The birds are singing. Ah, Primus, I should like to be a bird.
Primus

Helena
I do not know. I feel so strange to-day. It's as if I were in a dream. I feel an aching in my body, in my heart, all over me. Primus, perhaps I'm going to die.
Primus
Do you not sometimes feel that it would be better to die? You know, perhaps even now we are only sleeping. Last night in my sleep I again spoke to you.
Helena
In your sleep?
