CRAVETHEEN 113 All through the soundless labour of the woman — for she had the pride of pride — Cravetheen the Harper played. What he played was that the child might be bom dead Eilidh knew this, and gave it the breath straight from her heart "My pulse to you," she whispered between her low sobs.
Then Cravetheen played that it might be bom blind and deaf and dumb. But Eilidh knew this, and she whispered to the soul that was behind her eyes^ **Give it lighV \ and to the soul that was listening b...ehind her ears — ^** Give it hearing'^ ; and to the soul whose silence was beneath her silence — ^^Give it speech" And so the child was bom; and it was a man-child, and fair to see.
When the swoon was upon Eilidh, Crave- theen ceased from his harping. He rose and looked upon the woman. Then he lifted the child and laid it on a doe-skin in the sunlight, on a green place, that was the meeting-place of the moonshine dancers. With that he took up his harp e^in, and again played.
At the first playing, the birds ceased from singing.
