Catherine, part 7: Dublin
48. Leprechaun
I found some leprechauns and she laughed as the gold they gave her disappeared in her hands. She was a whirlwind of joy; she had swept into my life, turned it upside down and made me a more complete person. I felt properly alive for the first time in years.
Laying on the grass in Phoenix Park, I listened as Catherine read;
“She smiled and that transfigured me
And left me but a lout,
Maundering here, and maundering there,
Emptier of thought
Than the heavenly circuit of its stars
When the moon sails out.”
I realised how selfish I was being, letting her love me.
Phoenix park is a real park in Dublin Dublin Tourism - Parks & Gardens - Phoenix Park
The lines of poetry are from W B Yeats, A Man Young and Old: 1 First Love A Man Young And Old: I. First Love by William Butler Yeats
