Then tr'eni the cistern comes the voice at Ioltanaan, the prophet. who has

One soldier demands that he be made keep silent: "He is always
saying ridiculous'things."
“No. no. He is a. holy man." defends another. .
“What a strange prison. ‘ An old cistern! That must be a pmnonous

Imaoen the second soldier replies: "Oh, no. For instance. the Tet-
rarch's brother. his‘older brother. the first husband of Herodias. the
Queen. was imprisonedthere for twelve years. It did not kill him. At
the end of the twelve years he had to be strangled."

on this night he was nearly drunk. He is a gross materialist of the rank-

Salome leaves the banquet room'and comes out on the terrace.

y"'How sweet is the ‘air here! I can breathe here! Within there are
Jews from Jerusalem who are tearing each other in pieces over their
foolish ceremonies. and spill their wine on the pavement. and Greeks
from Smyrna with painted eyes and painted cheeks. and frizzled hair
curled in columns. and Egyptians silent and subtle. with long nails or jade
and rueset cloaks. and Romans brutal and coarse. with their uncouth
Sargon. Ah! how I loathe the Romans! They are rough and common.
and they give themselves the airs of noble lords."
Then tron: the cistern: "Behold! The Son of Man is at hand. The
contents have hidden themselves in the,rivers. and the nymphs have left
the rivers. and are lying beneath the leaves or the forests."
Salome asks the soldiers to bring the prophet from the cistern.

"Row black it is down there! It must be terrible to be in so black
a hole! It is like a tomb. Did you not hear me? Bring out the prophet.
I would look on him." . .
The soldiers demur. still frightened of the consequences of such an
not. She coaxes the young Syrian captain. whom she knows to be in
love with her. He orders 'the prophet brought out.
Iokanaan says. “Where is she who saw the images of men paintt'd on
the wells. even the images of the Chaldaens painted with colors. and
gave herself up unto the lust of her eyes. and sent ambassadors into tin-

"It is of my mother that he is speaking." Salome says. "It is his
