is not wha t I meant to say。 Do you remember how you shot a seagull once�拭�
A man chanced to pass that way and destroyed it out of idleness。 That is an
idea for a short story�察 �but it is not what I meant to say。 ��She passes her
hand across her forehead�А�What was I saying�拭�Oh�察�yes�察�the stage。 I have
changed now。 Now I am a real actress。 I act with joy�察�with exaltation�察�I am
intoxicated by it�察 �and feel that I am superb。 I have been walking and
walking�察�and thinking and thinking�察�ever since I have been here�察�and I feel
the strength of my spirit growing in me every day。 I know now�察 �I
understand at last�察�Constantine�察�that for us�察�whether we write or act�察�it is
not the honour and glory of which I have dreamt that is important�察�it is the
strength to endure。 One must know how to bear one's cross�察�and one must
have faith。 I believe�察�and so do not suffer so much�察�and when I think of my
calling I do not fear life。
TREPLIEFF。 ��Sadly�А�You have found your way�察�you know where you
are going�察�but I am still groping in a chaos of phantoms and dreams�察�not
knowing whom and what end I am serving by it all。 I do not believe in
anything�察�and I do not know what my calling is。
NINA。 ��Listening�А�Hush� �I must go。 Good´bye。 When I have become a
famous actress you must come and see me。 Will you promise to come�拭�But
now ��She takes his hand�А�it is late。 I can hardly stand。 I am fainting。 I am
hungry。
TREPLIEFF。 Stay�察�and let me bring you some supper。
NINA。 No�察 �noand don't come out�察 �I can find the way alone。 My
carriage is not far away。 So she brought him back with her�拭 �However�察�
what difference can that make to me�拭 �Don't tell Trigorin anything when

you see him。 I love himI love him even more than I used to。 It is an idea
for a short story。 I love himI love him passionatelyI love him to despair。
Have you forgotten�察�Constantine�察�how pleasant the old times were�拭�What a
gay�察�bright�察�gentle�察�pure life we led�拭�How a feeling as sweet and tender as
a flower blossomed in our hearts�拭 �Do you remember�察 。�She recites�А �All
men and beasts�察 �lions�察 �eagles�察 �and quails�察 �horned stags�察 �geese�察 �spiders�察�
silent fish that inhabit the waves�察 �starfish from the sea�察 �and creatures
invisible to the eyein one word�察�lifeall�察�all life�察�completing the dreary
round set before it�察�has died out at last。 A thousand years have passed since
the earth last bore a living creature on its breast�察�and the unhappy moon
now lights her lamp in vain。 No longer are the cries of storks heard in the
meadows�察�or the drone of beetles in the groves of limes;
She embraces TREPLIEFF impetuously and runs out onto the terrace。
TREPLIEFF。 ��After a pause�А�It would be a pity if she were seen in the
garden。 My mother would be distressed。
He stands for several minutes tearing up his manuscripts and throwing
them under the table�察�then unlocks the door on the right and goes out。
DORN。 ��Trying to force open the door on the left�А �Odd� �This door
seems to be locked。 ��He comes in and puts the chair back in its former
place�А�This is like a hurdle race。
ARKADINA and PAULINA come in�察 �followed by JACOB carrying
some bottles�察�then come MASHA�察�SHAMRAEFF�察�and TRIGORIN。
ARKADINA。 Put the claret and the beer here�察�on the table�察�so that we
can drink while we are playing。 Sit down�察�friends。
PAULINA。 And bring the tea at once。
She lights the candles and takes her seat at the card´table。
SHAMRAEFF leads TRIGORIN to the cupboard。
SHAMRAEFF。 Here is the stuffed sea´gull I was telling you about。
��He takes the sea´gull out of the cupboard�А�You told me to have it done。
TRIGORIN。 ��looking at the bird�А�I don't remember a thing about it�察�not
a thing。 ��A shot is heard。 Every one jumps。�А�
ARKADINA。 ��Frightened�А�What was that�拭�
DORN。 Nothing at all�察�probably one of my medicine bottles has blown
up。 Don't worry。 ��He goes out through the door on the right�察�and comes

back in a few moments�А�It is as I thought�察�a flask of ether has exploded。
��He sings�А�
;Spellbound once more I stand before thee。;
ARKADINA。 ��Sitting down at the table�А �Heavens� �I was really
frightened。 That noise reminded me of ��She covers her face with her
hands�А�Everything is black before my eyes。
DORN。 ��Looking through the pages of a magazine�察 �to TRIGORIN�А�
There was an article from America in this magazine about two months ago
that I wanted to ask you about�察�among other things。 ��He leads TRIGORIN
to the front of the stage�А�I am very much interested in this question。 ��He
lowers his voice and whispers�А �You must take Madame Arkadina away
from here�察�what I wanted to say was�察�that Constantine has shot himself。
The curtain falls。
