Banned for ever from the candles of the Irish poor;

With ruffs about their necks, their portion sure.”

“The monotonous dead clog me up and there is only
black done in black that oozes from the strongbox.
I must disembowel it and then set the heart, the legs,
of two who were one upon a large woodpile
and ignite, as I was once ignited, and let it whirl
into flame....”
