Rh Lydia I suspect only. I feel you plannimg dan- gerous things that must take you from me. Those silent footsteps on our causeway in the dusk, the shadows that pass between the pillars, the rising waters—Phocion! your strange deep love of Athens takes no account of me, your little, suffering wife.

Phocion The love of Athens is ours. It is the love of country that the Gods call sacred. (Looks out across the fading city.) Hellas, your valleys and mountains, streams and happy groves. ..beautiful, beloved...who would not die for you...!

Lydia I love you. If you live for me, you live for Hellas even more. Athens lives in our hearts, not otherwise.
