Laugh, heart, again in the gray twilight, Sigh, heart, again in the dew of the moon.
On October 4th the following were left around Austin, with bits of poems from W.B Yeats- Click here for the man himself reading
The real magic of each jar is, of course, discovered in the darkest places like true magic should be and will not last forever. Each has an expiration of @8 hours.
Please let me know if one of your characters found one, where they did, which jar they claimed and how they felt about it.
Jar 1:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Attached to this jar is:
“Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.”
~from The Wind Among the Reeds
Jar 2:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Attached to this jar is:
“Never give all the heart, for love
Will hardly seem worth thinking of
To passionate women if it seem
Certain, and they never dream
That it fades out from kiss to kiss;
For everything that's lovely is
But a brief, dreamy, kind delight.
O Never give the heart outright,
For they, for all smooth lips can say,
Have given their hearts up to the play.
And who could play it well enough
If deaf and dumb and blind with love?
He that made this knows all the cost,
For he gave all his heart and lost.”
~from In the Seven Woods
Jar 3:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Attached to this jar is:
“Let us go forth, the tellers of tales, and seize whatever prey the heart long for, and have no fear. Everything exists, everything is true, and the earth is only a little dust under our feet.”
~from The Celtic Twilight
Jar 4:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Attached to these jars is:
“It was the dream itself enchanted me:
Character isolated by a deed
To engross the present and dominate memory.
Players and painted stage took all my love,
And not those things that they were emblems of.
~from "The Circus Animals' Desertion"
Jar 5:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Attached to this jar is:
“Before me floats an image, man or shade,
Shade more than man, more image than a shade;
For Hades' bobbin bound in mummy-cloth
May unwind the winding path;
A mouth that has no moisture and no breath
Breathless mouths may summon; Byzantium"
~from Byzantium
Jar 6:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Attached to these jars:
No man can be alive, and what is paradise but fullness of life, if whatever he sets his hand to in the daylight cannot carry him from exaltation to exaltation, and if he does not rise into the frenzy of contemplation in the night silence. Events that are not begotten in joy are misbegotten and darken the world, and nothing is begotten in joy if the joy of a thousand years has not been crushed into a moment.
The soul of man is of the imperishable substance of the stars!
~from The Unicorn from the Stars and other plays
