  • As You Like It/ Act 1, Scene 3.
    "Helena" performed by Octavia Selena Alexandru.
    "Then, I confess,
    Here on my knee, before high heaven and you
    That before you, and next unto high heaven,
    I love your son.
    My friends were poor, but honest; so's my love:
    Be not offended, for it hurts not him
    That he is lov'd of me: I follow him not
    By any token of presumptuous suit;
    Nor would I have him till I do deserve him;
    Yet never know how that desert should be.
    I know I love in vain, strive against hope;
    Yet, in this captious and intenible sieve
    I still pour in the waters of my love,
    And lack not to lose still. Thus, Indian-like,
    Religious in mine error, I adore
    The sun, that looks upon his worshipper,
    But knows of him no more. My dearest madam,
    Let not your hate encounter with my love
    For loving where you do: but, if yourself,
    Whose aged honour cites a virtuous youth,
    Did ever in so true a flame of liking
    Wish chastely and love dearly, that your Dian
    Was both herself and Love; O! then, give pity
    To her, whose state is such that cannot choose
    But lend and give where she is sure to lose;
    That seeks not to find that her search implies,
    But, riddle-like, lives sweetly where she dies."

    Wanted to thank Ms. Alexandru for her performance. I used it as an example in my acting class, and the students were very taking with her performance.

    • @TheInsaneArtist
      @TheInsaneArtist  Рік тому

      Malena is one of my favorite movies of all times. An interesting thought: Malena and Helena strongly resemble in many ways: in attitudes or beliefs active and powerful female character in a society where women are assumed to be weak and inferior to men.
