IRENE.
– eller så tirrende behersket da. Og fordi du var kunstner, bare kunstner, – ikke mand! (slår over i en varm, inderlig tone.) Men denne støtte i det våde, levende ler, den elsked jeg – alt efter som der steg frem et sjælfuldt menneskebarn af disse rå, uformelige masserne, – for den var vor skabning, vort barn. Mit og dit.
IRENE.
--at any rate so intolerably self-controlled. And because you were an artist and an artist only--not a man! [Changing to a tone full of warmth and feeling.] But that statue in the wet, living clay, that I loved--as it rose up, a vital human creature, out of those raw, shapeless masses--for that was our creation, our child. Mine and yours.
爱吕尼
你好歹能不近人情地克制自己。这是因为你是艺术家,只是艺术家,不是人!(改用充满热情的声调)然而我却爱那座用湿润新鲜的黏土塑制的像--- 看它从一堆不成形的原料里化成一个生气勃勃的活人--- 这就是咱们的创作,“咱们的孩子”,我和你的孩子。
