To the stars from which he came
Empty handed he goes home;
He who might have wrought in flame
Only traced upon the foam.'
THE NUTS OF KNOWLEDGE
'Sinend daughter of Lodan Lucharglan, son of Lir, out of the
Land of Promise went to Connlas' Well which is under the
sea, to behold it. That is a well at which are the hazels of
wisdom and inspiration that is, the hazels of the science of
poetry; and in the same hour their fruit and their blossom &
their foliage break forth, and then fall upon the well in
the same shower, which raises upon the water a royal surge
of purple.'

CORBET YEATS AT THE DUN EMER PRESS, IN THE HOUSE OF EVELYN
GLEESON AT DUNDRUM IN THE COUNTY OF DUBLIN, IRELAND,
