SACRISTAN Her picture!CAVARADOSSI Whose?
SACRISTAN That strange girl who has been coming here these past few days to pray. Such devotion… such piety.
CAVARADOSSI It is so. And she was so absorbed in fervent prayer that I could paint her lovely face unnoticed.
SACRISTAN Away, Satan, away!
CAVARADOSSI Give me my paints. Oh hidden harmony of contrasting beauties! Floria is dark, my love and passion…
SACRISTAN Jest with knaves and neglect the saints …
CAVARADOSSI And you, mysterious beauty… Crowned with blond locks, your eyes are blue and Tosca's black!
