Charles Bryant, Salomé (1922)
“ Let soldiers be sent!" "Thou wert the friend of him who is dead. I tell thee there are not dead men enough!" "Command thy soldiers that they bring me the thing thou hast promised me! The thing that is mine!" "Thou wouldst have none of me, Jokanaan. Thou rejectedst me. Me, Salomé, Princess of Judea!" "Thou wert the man that I loved alone among men. All other men were hateful to me. I saw thee, and I loved thee, Jokanaan—I love thee yet, I love only thee—" "I have kissed thy mouth, Jokanaan——Love hath a bitter taste——But what matter?—What matter?—" "KILL THAT WOMAN!" ”
