“On the grey rock of Cashel I suddenly saw
A Sphinx with woman breast and lion paw,

That, it may be, had danced her life away....”

Remembering Matter pays her debt:
Still, through her motes and masses, draw
Electric thrills and ties of Law,
Which bind the strengths of Nature wild
To the conscience of the child.”
