ESCLARMOUNDO
"Nec sine te nec tecum vivere possum."—Ovid
"There are those of us who would rather be with Cathal of the Woods, and be drunken with green fire, than gain the paradise of the holy Molios who banned him, if in that gain were to be heard no more the earth-sweet ancient song of the blood that is in the veins of youth....
"O green fire of life, pulse of the world! O Love, O Youth, O Dream of Dreams!
"The Annir Choille."
