THE YOUNG SYRIAN: How beautiful is the Princess Salome tonight! The Pharisees, for instance, say that there are angels, and the Sadduccees declare that angels do not exist.įIRST SOLDIER: I think it is ridiculous to dispute about such things. They are disputing about their religion.įIRST SOLDIER: Why do they dispute about their religion? She moves very slowly.įIRST SOLDIER: What an uproar! Who are those wild beasts howling! THE PAGE OF HERODIAS: She is like a woman who is dead. She is like a princess who has little white doves for feet. She is like a little princess who wears a yellow veil, and whose feet are of silver. THE YOUNG SYRIAN: She has a strange look. You would fancy she was looking for dead things. THE PAGE OF HERODIAS: Look at the moon! How strange the moon seems! She is like a woman rising from a tomb. THE YOUNG SYRIAN: How beautiful is the Princess Salome to-night! To the right there is a gigantic staircase, to the left, at the back, an old cistern surrounded by a wall of green bronze. ![]() ![]() Some soldiers are leaning over the balcony. ![]() SCENE: A great terrace in the Palace of HEROD, set above the banqueting-hall.
