The aria is sung by the main character, the sculptor Adoniram, and reflects his inner strength and resolve. The music is profound and expressive, with a strong emphasis on the lyrical quality and emotional depth characteristic of Gounod's style. The aria mirrors the complexity and the character’s struggle with his own darkness and greatness.
