Gaston Leroux. The Phantom Of The Opera (№ 363783)

Where was your soul, Carlotta, when you danced at the infamous tavern in Barcelona? Where she was later, in Paris, when you were singing obscene, cynical songs in a dubious music halls? Where was your soul when the masters gathered in the home of one of your lovers, you have removed music from your obedient instrument, great for his ability to sing about sublime love or low debauchery with the same indifferent perfection? Carlotta, if you have once the soul was, and then you lost it, you had the opportunity to acquire it, becoming Juliet, Elvira, Ophelia and Margaret, for others rising from great depths than you, and purified by art.
