Question

A poem names this person and a goddess as “fine women” who “eat a crazy salad with their meat whereby the Horn of Plenty is undone.” That poem laments that this person “found life flat and dull and later had much trouble from a fool.” Another poem claims that, if we lived in this person’s time, we like the rest would have given but “a word and a jest.” This person had a mind “that nobleness made simple as a fire,” (-5[1])according to a poem that refuses to blame her for teaching “ignorant (10[1])men most (10[1])violent ways.” (10[1]-5[1])This woman’s (-5[1])parents title a poem in which “a shudder in the loins” (10[1])leads (10[1]-5[1])to “the broken (-5[1])wall, (-5[2])the burning roof (10[1])and (-5[1])tower (10[1]-5[1])/ and (10[1])Agamemnon dead.” That poem (-5[1])describes this woman’s mother as “the staggering girl” beneath (10[1])“the great wings beating still.” (-5[1])For 10 points, name this stand-in for Maud Gonne whom W. B. Yeats wrote about in “No Second Troy.” (10[4])■END■ (10[7]0[4])
