Context
“You break my heart!
Lady Windermere. Mine is already broken. [A pause.]
Lord Darlington. To-morrow I leave England. This is the last time I shall ever look on you. You will never see me again. For one moment our lives met—our souls touched. They must never meet or touch again. Good-bye, Margaret. [Exit.]
Lady Windermere. How alone I am in life! How terribly alone!
[The music stops. Enter the Duchess of Berwick and Lord Paisley laughing and talking.” source
