  ...For [the poet] there is no other woman but Cerridwen and he desires=20
one thing above all else in the world: her love. As Blodeuwedd, she will=20
gladly give him her love, but at only one price: his life. She will exact=20
payment punctually and bloodily. Other women, other goddesses, are=20
kinder-seeming. They sell their love at a reasonable rate--sometimes a man=
=20
may even have it for the asking. But not Cerridwen: for with her love goes=
=20
wisdom.... (Robert Graves)

Startlingly similar to the themes of There Are Doors, of course...
