Quote #10

SALOME Ah! wherefore didst thou not look at me, Jokanaan? With the cloak of thine hands, and with the cloak of thy blasphemies thou didst hide thy face. Thou didst put upon thine eyes the covering of him who would see his God. Well, thou hast seen thy God, Jokanaan, but me, me, thou didst never see. If thou hadst seen me thou hadst loved me. I saw thee, and I loved thee. (375)

In Salomé's opinion, Jokanaan only has eyes for God, as it were, whether or not his beliefs or true or merely a "cloak of blasphemies." He sees God and only God.
