) SHAWN. Do not blame me; I often lie awakeThinking that all things trouble your bright head. How beautiful it is--your broad pale foreheadUnder a cloudy blossoming of hair!Sit down beside me here--these are too old, And have forgotten they were ever young.
MARY. O, you are the great door-post of this house, And I the branch of blessed quicken wood, And if I could I'd hang upon the post, Till I had brought good luck into the house.
(She would put her arms about him, but looks shyly at the pries...tand lets her arms fall. ) FATHER HART. My daughter, take his hand--by love aloneGod binds us to Himself and to the hearth, That shuts us from the waste beyond His peaceFrom maddening freedom and bewildering light.
SHAWN. Would that the world were mine to give it you, And not its quiet hearths alone, but evenAll that bewilderment of light and freedom. If you would have it.
MARY. I would take the worldAnd break it into pieces in my handsTo see you smile watching it crumble away.
SHAWN. Then I would mould a world of fire and dewWith no one bitter, grave or over wise, And nothing marred or old to do you wrong, And crowd the enraptured quiet of the skyWith candles burning to your lonely face.
