Acte
[Recalling him by a touch so that he turns.] The time is not yet
ripe. A new sedition now suddenly bursting would dash down all our
dreams.
Simon
Pilate at last will listen. With such a pleader the Sufferer is safe.
Acte
You are taken in this soothsayer’s mesh.
Simon
He has not spoken to me.
Acte
Has he not led you?
Simon
He leads me most who suffers most injustice.
Acte
And on that night when you were first led captive
The lonely lions and the Libyan moon
Watched over Africa, faithful to her,
When you grew faithless.
Simon
Africa shall triumph. This man, not I, not Battus, shall restore her.
Acte
If Pilate pleases.
Simon
He shall conquer Pilate.
Acte
Shall he indeed?
Simon
What’s there?
Simon
What are these?
The Mocker with the Scourge
A scourge for a prophet.
The Mocker with the Crown of Thorns
A crown of thorns for a king.
The Mocker with the Scarlet Robe
A scarlet robe for a saviour.
[The mockers cross the garden and disappear at left
back. Simon watches them motionless and
transfixed by their sinister meaning as it begins to
dawn upon him. Pilate appears in the upper
portico at back left. He enters walking slowly
backward and looking off left with evident horror. A
wailing is heard off left, it grows and Procula
enters from her doorway.]
Procula
Woe, woe, the air is bleeding, the doom has fallen.
O Pilate, you have judged a world and doomed it.
Your hands are bloody; wash them again, wash them.
Procula
[Going to Simon who stands motionless.] What will you do now,
now that he is condemned?
Simon
[Suddenly seeing him.] Barabbas! [Running to Acte.] Look to the
lad, lead him to safety. We’ll fire the city. Hide with him till I join you.
The temple shall be in flames before they lead the Nazarene past it.
[Acte leading Battus and her people hurries out left. Simon rushes
to Barabbas, speaking swiftly.] Go where the arms are stored. Give
the slaves weapons and torches. Rouse all, arm all, stand by me to
free the Nazarene. I’ll lead his friends. Bring the slaves quickly.
Strike, give all the signal. [Barabbas stands motionless.] Go.
Barabbas
[In a dull monotonous voice.] All’s done, all’s one, whether men
live or die.
Who can withstand Rome? They tortured me.
My spirit is broken. I have been all night
Watching this one that would have saved the world
Scourged with me in the prison.
He is a god but men have conquered him.
They freed me in his place, the dead for the living.
There are no more gods left now in the sky
And on the earth nothing but dead men crawling.
Simon
You stay? You hang back?
Barabbas
My spirit is poisoned. I die soon.
Simon
Then die for the living.
Barabbas
There are none left alive.
Barabbas
[Pointing to the crosses.] There goes the cross now for the god
to hang on,
That’s the dead tree to bear the dead world’s fruit.
Simon
So we must stand alone. They yell for blood.
Now they shall drown in a red sea of it.
He shall pass over safely, walking on dead men.
[He draws his sword and rushes off right. Barabbas
stands unmoved. Procula runs to right entrance
staring off after Simon.]
Procula
The gods fight with you now, invisible shapes
Rush forward with you. See how cloud-like armies
Redden the air. Lead them and seize him.
[There is a pause, then she retreats slowly from the
entrance, and Simon re-enters stepping slowly
backward as though dazzled by a vision. As he
reaches the middle of the garden a wonderful
voice is heard proceeding from the direction in
which he looks.]
The Voice
Put up the sword. For they that take the sword shall perish with the
sword. [The sword falls from Simon’s hand.]
The Voice
Do not resist evil.
The Centurion
Who are you that you rush against legionaries? Have you an army
that you come against us? Are you a madman? Are you also one of
his followers?
Simon
[Slowly.] I am his follower. [Procula, wailing, rushes into her
house.]
The Centurion
[Turning and calling to someone off right.] Ho, Longinus, come;
here is another. [To Simon.] What is your name and place?
Simon
Simon, a man of Cyrene.
Longinus
[To the Centurion.] The Nazarene has fallen. The cross crushes
him. He can go no further.
The Centurion
Here’s one to bear it, bring it in the garden.
The Voice
Overcome evil with good. Forgive your enemy.
The Voice
If any man will come after me let him take up the cross and follow
me.
Simon
I will wear this, I will bear this till he comes into his own.

“The reader is struck by the fascinating possibilities of Yzdra as
acting drama. It would make a striking and beautiful play for the
stage, and we can well imagine that even the greatest actress would
be glad to assume the rôle of the ill-fated Princess. The dialogue is,
from the point of view of the stage, certain in its effective quality.”—
New York Times.
“There are both grace and strength in this drama and it also
possesses the movement and spirit for presentation upon the stage.
Some of the figures used are striking and beautiful, quite free from
excess, and sometimes almost austere in their restraint. The
characters are clearly individualized and a just balance is preserved
in the action.”—Outlook.

“The most thoroughly imbued with the classic mood of the younger
American poets is Louis V. Ledoux. In him rings a genuine passion;
no false simulation; no reflection of a glamour that is remote by
association, or is the thin echo of other imaginative voices.... Beside
the beauty of the verse, stately and rich in its calm melodic simplicity,
there is envisaged a feeling for the deeper springs of life.”—Boston
Transcript.
“This lyrical drama comes from the pen of one of the finest of our
young modern poets.... With a strength and simplicity that puts to
shame the diffuseness and depravity of the new writers of vers libre
... this author writes a play less sensational than his previous ‘Yzdra’
but more sustained.... ‘Eleusis’ is Hellenic in the subject and in the
beauty of its proportion and harmony ... and several of its lyrics are
marvelous songs in rhythmic phrase and in underlying thought.”—
The Bellman (Minneapolis).
“There must be thousands of readers who would give this new
poem a warm and grateful welcome if only the rare quality of it could
be brought properly to their attention.... This does not signify
necessarily that the poem is an unqualified masterpiece, but it
indicates the presence of a quality that has always been present in
the grand style when the grand style has compelled itself to
endure.”—The New York Evening Sun.
