BRECHT ABOUT HIS MOTHER

I loved her in my own way.

But she wanted to be loved

in hers.

BRECHT’S MOTHER ABOUT HIM

He loved me. That

was his way.

MRS. BRECHT ABOUT HER SON

I loved him. Was there

some other way?

MRS. BRECHT’S SON ABOUT HER

She loved and she was loved.

There was no other way.
