Egaeus, the archetypal romantic hero, tormented and under the influence of alcohol, roams the twilight zone between reality, fantasy, and dream in the hope of finding back his lost love Ulalume. Why does he feel that constant urge to walk the woods? Psyche, his last remaining glimmer of rational awareness, tries to warn him, telling him to stop his futile quest, but the beckoning light of Astarte fuels his resolve. Egaeus ultimately realizes there is but one way to be united with his lost love.
