The Countess Cathleen 精彩片段：

SCENE 5

The house of SHEMUS RUA.

There is an alcove at the back with curtains; in it a bed, and on the

bed is the body of MARY with candles round it. The two MERCHANTS while they speak put a large book

upon a table, arrange money, and so on.

FIRST MERCHANT. Thanks to that lie I told about her ships

And that about the herdsman lying sick,

We shall be too much thronged with souls to?morrow.

SECOND MERCHANT. What has she in her coffers now but mice?

FIRST MERCHANT. When the night fell and I had shaped myself Into the image of the man?headed owl,

I hurried to the cliffs of Donegal,

And saw with all their canvas full of wind

And rushing through the parti?coloured sea

Those ships that bring the woman grain and meal.

Theyre but three days from us.

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.
