| Rita: Yes, They said he was lying on his back.
And with wide open eyes.
Allmers: Open eyes. But quite still?
Rita: Yes, quite still. And then something came and carried him
away out. They called it an undertow.
Allmers (nodding slowly): So that was the last they saw of him.
Rita (choked with tears): Yes.
Allmers (in a toneless voice): And never — never will anyone
see him again.
Rita (wailing): Day and night he will be before me, as he lay down
there.
Allmers: With the wide open eyes.
Rita (Shuddering): Yes, with the wide open eyes. I see them! I see
them before me.
Allmers (getting up slowly, looking at her quietly, but with menace):
Were they evil, those eyes, Rita?
Rita (turning pale): Evil —!
Allmers (going close up to her): Were they evil eyes that started
up? Down there from the deep?
Rita (shrinking back): Alfred —!
Allmers (following): Answer me that! Were they the evil eyes of
a child?
— Henrik Ibsen, Little Eyolf
