John the Baptist

John the Baptist is a play about one of the most important Catholic saints. Excerpt: «MIRIAM Hadidja, I am afraid! HADIDJA Come! MIRIAM I am afraid. Seest thou those gliding shadows? Their feet scarce touch the stones, and their flesh is like the shadow of the night wind. HADIDJA Fool that thou art! Thou art afraid of thy companions in misery and suffering. The same need as thine brings them hither; the same hope leads them on to the heights.»
