SCENE 4

A wood near the Castle, as in Scene 2. The SPIRITS pass one by one carrying bags.

FIRST SPIRIT. Ill never dance another step, not one.

SECOND SPIRIT. Are all the thousand years of dancing done?

THIRD SPIRIT. How can we dance after so great a sorrow?

FOURTH SPIRIT. But how shall we remember it to?morrow?

FIFTH SPIRIT. To think of all the things that we forget.

SIXTH SPIRIT. Thats why we groan and why our lids are wet.

(The SPIRITS go out. A group Of PEASANTS Pass.)

FIRST PEASANT. I have seen silver and copper, but not gold.

SECOND PEASANT. Its yellow and it shines.

FIRST PEASANT. Its beautiful.

The most beautiful thing under the sun, Thats what Ive heard.

THIRD PEASANT. I have seen gold enough.

FOURTH PEASANT. I would not say that its so beautiful.

作品简介：

Inspired by Irish folklore, first published in 1892, first performed in 1899.

The sorrowful are dumb for thee--

Lament of Morion Shehone for Miss Mary Bourke

Originally published in 1892, The Countess Cathleen aroused fierce controversy when it was first performed in 1899. The play was frequently revived and almost as often revised, becoming at various points in Yeats’s career a decisive indicator of his relations with his literary and theatrical public, of his changing conception of dramatic form, and of the status of his pursuit of Maud Gonne, for whom the play was written. This volume in the Cornell Yeats reproduces the complete set of extant manuscripts preceding the play’s first publication and reassembles the extensive manuscript, proof, and authorial copy to present a crucial body of evidence of Yeats’s work and thought in drama and theater over the course of three decades.
