English poem
Emer
by W. B. Yeats
Nothing that he has done, His mind that is fire, His body that is sun, Have set my head higher Than all the world's wives. Himself on the wind Is the gift that he gives, Therefore womenkind, When their eyes have met mine, Grow cold and grow hot, Troubled as with wine By a secret thought, Preyed upon, fed upon By jealousy and desire. I am moon to that sun, I am steel to that fire,
[The windows are now broken down to floor. CUCHULAIN takes his spear from the door, and the three Women come in at the same moment]
