Art thou that steppest between heart and heart?
Byron
_Cain_. I must away with him.
_Adah_. And leave us?
_Cain_. Aye.
_Adah_. And _me_?
_Cain_. Beloved Adah!
_Adah_. Let me go with thee.
_Lucifer_. No, she must not.
_Adah_.
Who
Art thou that steppest between heart and heart?
_Cain_. He is a God.
_Adah_. How know'st thou?
_Cain_. He speaks like 350
A God.
_Adah_. So did the Serpent, and it lied.
_Lucifer_. Thou errest, Adah! --was not the Tree that

_Adah_. Aye--to our eternal sorrow.
_Lucifer_. And yet that grief is knowledge--so he lied not:
And if he did betray you, 'twas with Truth;
And Truth in its own essence cannot be
But good.
