And not a roof of ivory and gold.
DECTORA.
I would grow jealous of the ivory roof. And strike the golden pillars with my hands. I would that there was nothing in the world But my beloved — that night and day had perished. And all that is and all that is to be, All that is not the meeting of our lips.
136 THE SHADOWY WATERS FORGAEL.
I too, I too. Why do you look away? Am I to fear the waves, or is the moon My enemy?
DECTORA.
I looked upon the moon. Longing to knead and pull it into shape That I ...might lay it on your head as a crown. But now it is your thoughts that wander away, For you are looking at the sea. Do you not know How great a wrong it is to let one's thought Wander a moment when one is in love?
[He has moved away. She follows him. He is looking out over the sea, shading his eyes. "] Why are you looking at the sea?
FORGAEL.
Look there !
DECTORA.
What is there but a troop of ash-grey birds That fly into the west ?
FORGAEL.
But listen, listen !
DECTORA.
What is there but the crying of the birds?
