I think I could turn and live with
animals, they are so placid and
self-contain'd,
I stand and look at them long and long.
I stand and look at them long and long.

Not one is dissatisfied, not one is demented with the mania of owning
things,

ago,

In the Swamp: Scene 6
LAKE MICHIGAN
LAKE MICHIGAN
End of September.
Woodland. SHLINK. MARIE.
MARIE: The trees seem draped with human dung, the sky near enough to touch, how indifferent it leaves me! I'm freezing. I'm like a half-frozen quail. I can't help myself.
SHLINK: If this will help you: I love you.
MARIE: I threw myself away. Oh, my love has become such a bitter fruit. Others have their good season when they love, but I wither here, I fret my life away. My body is defiled.
SHLINK: Tell me it's all over with you, it will relieve your feelings.
MARIE: I went to bed with a man who is like an animal. I gave myself to him many times, though my whole body was numb, and I couldn't get warm.
Bertolt Brecht (1898-1956): from Im Dickicht der Städte [In the Thicket of Cities], 1921-1923, translated by Eric Bentley as In the Swamp, 1961
