Ok...maybe I should have posted this under a different category but there is no "poetry" section...
This is the text of the poem "The Valley of the Black Pig" by William Butler Yeats:
THE dews drop slowly and dreams gather; unknown spears
Suddenly hurtle before my dream-awakened eyes,
And then the clash of fallen horsemen and the cries
Of unknown perishing armies beat about my ears.
We who still labour by the cromlech on the shore,
The grey cairn on the hill, when day sinks drowned in dew,
Being weary of the world's empires, bow down to you,
Master of the still stars and of the flaming door.
My question to you is: Who do you think is the Master of the still stars and what is the flaming door? Just looking for different opinions.
