Played by Julie
Raybon.
Nobody, nobody told me,
What nobody, nobody knows
But I know where the rainbow ends
I know where there grows
A tree, that's called the tree of life...
Played by Dan
Winningham.
I have held treasures, gold, and artifacts
Jewels, relics and tomes
But the cost to touch these objects --
I'm forever far from home
Played by Jill
Pritts.
Goe, and catche a falling starre,
Get with child a mandrake roote,
Tell me, where all past yeares are,
Or who cleft the Divels foot,
Teach me to heare Mermaides singing,
Or to keep off envies stinging,
And finde
What winde
Serves to advance an honest minde.
Played by Jason Larke.
I am one, my liege,
Whom the vile blows and buffets of the world
Hath so incensed that I am reckless what
I do to spite the world.
Played by Joe Mancuso.
It is morning, Senlin says, and in the morning
When the light drips through the shutters like the dew,
I arise, I face the sunrise,
And do the things my fathers learned to do.
Stars in the purple dusk above the rooftops
Pale in a saffron mist and seem to die,
And I myself on a swiftly tilting planet
Stand before a glass and tie my tie.
