EPIGRAPH: When I witness ups and downs, banks and demarcations,
I lose my temper,
I seek oneness and equality, for that
I run and foam and fret;
Hence is it that, water though I am,
I have fallen on the burning coals of the mulberry-woods.

EPIGRAPH: We know their dream; enough
To know they dreamed and are dead;
And what if excess of love
Bewildered them till they died?
...
Wherever green is worn,
Are changed, changed utterly;
A terrible beauty is born.
FROM: "Easter, 1916", (1921), Poem, Ireland
