"love, i beg you, pass me by"
- Philomele: This is horrible. It's not Phaedra's fault she loves him.
- Tereus: She could keep silent about it.
- Philomele: When you love you want to imprison the one you love in your words, in your tenderness.
- Tereus: How do you know all this, Philomele?
- Philomele: Sometimes I feel the whole world beating inside me.
- {Timberlake Wertenbaker | The Love of the Nightingale | 305}
