"There we were — demented children mincing about in clothes that no one ever wore, speaking as no man ever spoke, swearing love in wigs and rhymed couplets, killing each other with wooden swords, hollow protestations of faith hurled after empty promises of vengeance — and every gesture, every pose, vanishing into the thin unpopulated air. We ransomed our dignity to the clouds, and the uncomprehending birds listened. Dont you see!? Were actors — were the opposite of people!"

But we cant give you love and rhetoric without the blood. Blood is compulsory. Theyre all blood, you see."
