...memories--Mary's wedding-dress, Edwin Booth's praise for James years ago--lie in the attic trunk above, whispering waste and despair. Love has imposed a mighty toll upon their lives, but in the end it binds them together, wracked by pity and fear. Young Edmund's hopeless citation of Nietzsche, "God is dead: of His pity for man hath God died," is forgotten. O'Neill has forgiven the Tyrones as we must forgive all mankind...
