A hilltop. A white marble wall, before which is drawn up an inexorable array of Doric columns. In the middle of the wall is a single doorway, which leads to darkness save for the occasional reflection of red flames from within. On either side of the doorway there stands a burned-out brazen funeral torch, and under the colonnade, as well as on the steps which rise to it, are stationed several black-draped groups that look out toward the horizon-line of the sea. They are waiting. It is evening, and above the tops of the cypress-trees which lead, in a long avenue, up to the foot of the Monument the stars are shining — shining coldly, serenely, patiently, impersonally: they do not care — they have seen too much. They give no heed to the Monument, nor to the convent-isle that whitens in their light a league from shore.
The Girl's Mother ( moaningly, as the flames once more light up the doorway ).
