All that delirium of the brave?
September 1913
Romantic Ireland’s dead and gone. It’s with O’Leary in the grave.
September 1913
Fumble in a greasy till
September 1913
You have dried the marrow from the bone
September 1913
Some woman’s yellow hair has maddened every mothers son
September 1913
I saw the cold and took delighting heaven
The Cold Heaven
Riddled with light. Ah!
The Cold Heaven
Ice burned
The Cold Heaven
With the hot blood of youth, of love crossed long ago
The Cold Heaven
By the injustice of the skies for punishment?
The Cold Heaven
Those that I fight I do not hate,
Those that I guard I do not love;
An Irish Airman
Kiltartans cross… Kiltartans poor
An Irish Airman
A lonely impulse of delight
An Irish Airman
The years to come seemed waste of breath
An Irish Airman
In balance with this life, this death.
An Irish Airman
As cold and as passionate as the dawn
The Fisherman
Grey place … Grey Connemara clothes
The Fisherman
The living men I hate, the dead man that I loved,
The Fisherman
Great Art beat down
The Fisherman
The nearest kin of the moon
The Cat and the Moon
Troubled his animal blood
The Cat and the Moon
Tired of that courtly fashion,
A new dance turn.
The Cat and the Moon
Alone, important and wise,
The Cat and the Moon
And lifts to the changing moon, his changing eyes.
The Cat and the Moon
