Come over to me, Michael. Cathleen the daughter of houlihan. I cannot describe the various dramatic adventures of the year with as much detail as I did last year, mainly because the movement has got beyond me. The torches dim; Till vain frenzy awoke. As we wish our work to be full of the life of this country, our stage-manager has almost always to train our actors from the beginning, always so in the case of peasant plays, and this makes the building up of a theatre like ours the work of years. Besides, I can prove what I once disproved.
She is young, and she is Cuchulain's wife, and so she must spread her tail like a peacock. Luckier if this house, Where passion and precision. In England there is a censor, who forbids you to take a subject from the Bible, or from politics, or to picture public characters, or certain moral situations which are the foundation of some of the greatest plays of the world. Who knows where he is now, or who he is stirring up to make mischief between us? I will teach you better—no, I will never teach you again. But when the trouble is on me I must be talking to my friends. Of cathleen the daughter of houlihan poem. An English poet of genius once told me that he would have tried his hand in [138] plays for the people, if they knew any story the censor would pass, except Jack and the Beanstalk. B] That mood has gone, with Fenianism and its wild hopes. It will belong to us all equally. They mean that the character must be typical of something which exists in all men because the writer has found it in his own mind. One can serve one's country alone out of the abundance of one's own heart, and it is labour enough to be certain one is in the right, without having to be certain that one's thought is expedient also.
Sara Bernhardt would keep her hands clasped over, let us say, her right breast for some time, and then move them to the other side, perhaps, lowering her chin till it touched her hands, and then, after another long stillness, she would unclasp them and hold one out, and so on, not lowering them till she had exhausted all the gestures of uplifted hands. Michael watches her curiously from the door. I imagine an old countryman upon the stage of the theatre or in some little country court-house where a Gaelic society is meeting, and I can hear him say that he is Raftery or a brother, and that he has tramped through France and Spain and the whole world. European drama began so, but the European drama had centuries for its growth, while our art must grow to perfection in a generation or two if it is not to be smothered before it [89] is well above the earth by what is merely commercial in the art of England. How will they think and feel when they have read it? ' The Provençal movement, the Welsh, the Czech, have all, I think, been attempting, when we examine them to the heart, to restore what is called a more picturesque way of life, that is to say, a way of life in which the common man has some share in imaginative art. Where dips the rocky highland. I do not say every kind, for if a mad king, a king so mad that he loved the arts and their freedom, should offer us unconditioned millions, I, at any rate, would give my voice for accepting them. My objection was to the rough-and-ready conscience of the newspaper and the pulpit in a matter so delicate and so difficult as literature. We are no longer like those Egyptian birds that flew out of Arabia, their claws full of spices; nor can we, like an ancient or mediæval poet, throw into our verses the emotions and events of our lives, or even dramatise, as they could, the life of the minstrel into whose mouth we are to put our words. Of a sudden his singing stopped, and his eyes grew misty as if he was looking at some far thing. We lose our freedom more and more as we get away from ourselves, and not merely because our minds are overthrown by abstract phrases and generalisations, reflections in a mirror that seem living, but because we have turned the table of value upside down, and believe that the root of reality is not in the centre but somewhere in that whirling circumference. In all their loneliness. And all would be oratorical and insincere.
It was not laughing, but it had clothes the colour of burning sods, and there was something shining about its head. If I told you, you would drive them away. No wonder he has had dreams! A community that is opinion-ridden, even when those opinions are in themselves noble, is likely to put its creative minds into some sort of a prison. Well, you would like a nice comely girl to be beside you, and to go walking with you. We are now fairly satisfied with the representation of peasant life, and we can afford to give the greater part of our attention to other expressions of our art and of our life. The Germans at the beginning of the nineteenth century preferred Schiller to Goethe, and thought him the greater writer, because he put nobler characters into his books; and when Chaucer met Eros walking in the month of May, that testy god complains that though he had 'sixty bookkes olde and newe, ' and all full of stories of women and the life they led, and though for every bad woman there are a hundred good, he has chosen to write only of the bad ones. I will say to them that only amid spiritual terror, or [22] only when all that laid hold on life is shaken can we see truth. Try and coax him over to the fire. BRIDGET GILLANE Peter's wife. Master, will you have Teig the Fool for a scholar?
His people talk a highly-coloured musical language, and one never hears from them a thought that is of to-day and not of yesterday. The nationalism metaphor is a bit heavy-handed, but it was a great intro to Yeats. This is why, through this play, Yeats also manages to pass his critique on the so-called 'corruption' of the Irish purity as he perceived it. It is possible, barely so, but still possible, that some day we may write musical notes as did the Greeks, it seems, for a whole play, and make our actors speak upon them—not sing, but speak.
There had, as yet, been no performance, but the attack was confident, and it was evident that the writer's ears were full of rumours and whisperings. Our first two years of The Abbey Theatre have been expended mostly on the perfecting of the Company in peasant comedy and tragedy. Wind of love and hate. The Poorhouse, by Lady Gregory and Douglas Hyde. He said it was a very nice match, and that he was never better pleased to marry any two in his parish than myself and Delia Cahel. No nation, since the beginning of history, has ever drawn all its life out of itself. He was a driving force behind the Irish Literary Revival, and along with Lady Gregory and Edward Martyn founded the Abbey Theatre, serving as its chief during its early years. Storm, death, [13] the grass rotting, many sicknesses, those are the messengers that came to me. If a man of intellect had written of such an incident he would have made his audience feel for the mistress that sympathy one feels for all that have suffered insult, and for that young man an ironical emotion that might have marred the marriage bells, and who knows what the curate and the journalist would have said of him? Somebody I have been reading lately finds the Court of Louis the Fourteenth in Phèdre and Andromaque. The FOOL comes in and stands at the door holding out his hat. That is to say, I had asked for the amount of freedom which every nation has given to its dramatic writers.
Sainte-Beuve has said that there is nothing immortal in literature except style, and it is precisely this sense of style, once common among us, that is hardest for us to recover. Townland against townland, barony against barony, kingdom against kingdom, province against province, and if there be but two door-posts to a door the one fighting against the other. My head, And cut and peeled a hazel. One has to live among the people, like you, of whom an old man said in my hearing, 'She has been a serving-maid among us, ' before one can think the thoughts of the people and speak with their tongue. She would say that when our bodies sleep our souls awake, and that whatever withers here ripens yonder, and that harvests are snatched from us that they may feed invisible people. To-day there is another question that we must make up our minds about, and an even more pressing one, What is a National Theatre? But now a generous English friend, Miss Horniman, has rearranged and in part re-built, at very considerable expense, the old Mechanic's Institute Theatre, now the Abbey Theatre, and given us the use of it without any charge, and I need not say that she has gained our gratitude, as she will gain the gratitude of our audience. Great as Shelley is, those theories about the coming changes of the world, which he has built up with so much elaborate passion, hurry him from life continually. Though he does not come, even so we will keep from among the mourners and hold some cheerful conversation among ourselves; for has not Virgil, a knowledgeable man and a wizard, foretold that other Argonauts shall row between cliff and cliff, and other fair-haired Achæans sack another Troy? He looks at the clothes and turns towards the inner room, but stops at the sound of cheering outside. Then he grew half mad with fear, for the hours were passing. He begins handling the money again and sits down. ] Cathleen Ni Houlihan has appeared in quite a few literary works and pieces of art as a symbol for Ireland and she is always depicted as a woman trying to recruit men who are willing to fight for her liberty.
Have we not been in error in demanding from our playwrights personages who do not transcend our common actions any more than our common speech? It needs eloquence to persuade and knowledge to expound; but the coarser means come ready to every man's hand, as ready as a stone or a stick, and where these coarse means are all, there is nothing but mob, and the commonest idea most prospers and is most sought for. But now farewell, for I am weary of the weight of time. Certainly it comes to its deathbed full of knowledge. It is not as good as what we have lost, but we cannot hope to see in our time, except by some rare accident, the minstrel who differs from his audience in nothing but the exaltation of his mood, and who is yet as [221] exciting and as romantic in their eyes as were Raftery and Wolfram to their people. When he grew up his poor father and mother were so proud of him that they resolved to make him a priest, which they did at last, though they nearly starved themselves to get the money.
The Canavans (new version), by Lady Gregory. He has a pair of shears in [4] the other hand. ] It is the only good English spoken by any large number of Irish people to-day, and one must found good literature on a living speech. Just as the modern musician, through the over-development of an art that seems exterior to the poet, writes so many notes for every word that the natural energy of speech is dissolved and broken and the words made inaudible, so did this actress, a perfect mistress of her own art, put into her voice so many different notes, so run up and down the scale under an impulse [176] of anger and scorn, that one had hardly been more affronted by a musical setting. Up to a generation or two ago, and to our own generation, here and there, lingered a method of acting and of stage-management, which had come down, losing much of its beauty and meaning on the way, from the days of Shakespeare. In the arts I am quite certain that it is a substitution of apparent for real truth.
