…d the light is fled from mine eyes, and the sword from my hand Is fallen ; the years have left me a fool, and the gleam Is vanished from life, and the swift years sear me and rend . There is no end save the song , and the joy in the singing , And song alone may relieve the shadowy pain . I am weary even of song , and the lyre is cold , And my heart is lead , and the world seems very old . Dusk falls on the earth , and Apollo no more comes winging His way to me now ; it may be I shall sing not again . Yet to the dream I was true , and I followed…

Hath-the augur indeed found bloodless-hearted Firstling lamb, and the dove without entrails? Is the hope of the world for ever sunken? Was the dream of us dark, demented, drunken? All in vain are we vowed before the veils? Were we false to the faith? Did hope desert us? Was not leonine love the grace that girt us? Why then bore we the shrine across the sea?

Theme No. I in the first chapter: rural love. How exquisite, how delicate, first flush of dawn upon the glowing meadows! The young man who is courting is not idle, either; he serves great Nature in yet other ways. He is taking a prize cow to be "served": on him depend our milk, cheese, butter veal and beef.

… re-awakened in the wild Western world. I am thinking of Riders to the Sea. Experience dulls us; words are prostituted in the brothel of life. In Riders to the Sea, Synge says merely, “A man was drowned.” His genius sweeps away the cobwebs which time spins over the door of the cavern of our imagination.
