“I am a ship without a rudder in a night without a star.
lord goring. Robert, you love your wife, don’t you?
sir robert chiltern. I love her more than anything in the world. I used to think ambition the great thing. It is not. Love is the great thing in the world. There is nothing but love, and I love her. But I am defamed in her eyes. I am ignoble in her eyes. There is a wide gulf between us now. She has found me out, Arthur, she has found me out.
lord goring. Has she never in her life done some folly—some indiscretion—that she should not forgive your sin?”
