Imre Madách: The Tragedy of Man - full text of the drama - Translated by Joseph Grosz

EVE

This is our end! LUCIFER

Are you dismayed?

ADAM

Oh no!

This was the shudder of my wakening —

And now away to find a friendly spot,

This place grows cold and strangely desolate.

THE ANGELIC CHOIR

Weep, angels, weep your tears in unison!

The Lie has triumphed—and our Earth undone!
