JEKYLL:
My two natures have memory in common.
I am aware that I am slowly losing hold
Of my original and better self...
And becoming absorbed into my second
And worse self.
Hyde, alone in the ranks of mankind, is pure evil.
As Jekyll, I can share in the pleasures and wickedness of Hyde.
I have more than a father's interest in him,
And he has more than a son's indifference towards me!
As Hyde, I care only for myself
And nothing for Jekyll!
As Jekyll, I know how Hyde
Fears my power to cut him off - by suicide!
And yet I find it in my heart to pity him
So wonderful is his love of life!
So wonderful is his love of life!
