Nel lavoro teatrale di W.B. Yeats
“The Countess Cathleen” Maeve (nome alto-irlandese di Mab, la shakespeariana
regina delle fate) è la signora del regno invisibile. Durante le notti di
plenilunio dopo una danza rituale ella piange un
misterioso amore perduto e dimenticato. Ecco alcuni versi della scena: |
In
W. B. Yeats’s Countess Cathleen Maeve – Irish name of Mab, the
shakespearian fairy queen – is the queen of the “invisible host”. During the
full‑moon nights after a ritual dance she cries for a mysterious love,
lost and forgotten. The verses that describe this scene have inspired this
piece |
« ... A man, they say,
Loved Maeve the Queen of all the invisible
host,
And died of his love nine centuries ago.
And now, when the moon’s riding at the
full,
She leaves her dancers lonely
...
...
And for three days
Stretches and sighs and wets her long pale
cheeks ...
...
Because she has forgot his name ... »
W. B.
Yeats, The Countess Cathleen, Scene II
