A Dark Chamber. Queen Sudarshana. Her Maid of Honour, Surangama
Sudarshana
Light, light! Where is light? Will the lamp never be lighted in this chamber?
Surangama
My Queen, all your other rooms are lighted—will you never long to escape from the light into a dark room like this?
Sudarshana
But why should this room be kept dark?
