Book excerpt: Excerpt from Irish Impressions When laws can stay it was impossible that an old rhyme should not run in my head, and words that appealed to the everlasting revolt of the green things of the earth. And when the leaves in summer time their colour dare not Show.' The rhyme seemed to reach me out of remote times and find arresting fulfilment, like a prophecy; it was impossible not to feel that I had seen an omen. I was conscious vaguely of a vision of green garlands hung on gray stone; and the wreaths were living and growing, and the stone was dead.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Around the Emerald Isle: A Record of Impressions Impressions do not always coincide with ex pert Opinions and studied conclusions. They may be considered as treasures of the heart rather than as triumphs of the mind. The lit tle journey of which this book is a partial record was undertaken as a vacation experi ence, and in the hope that some pleasurable and more or less profitable impressions might be received. The result is herein described. Twenty-three of the thirty-two counties of Ire land were visited, characteristic features of different sections observed, and important his torical episodes recalled. The story of Ireland is so pathetic, the position of Ireland so unique, and the Emerald Isle is so much in the thought of the world today that even the uh scientific comments of an American traveller with a liberal percentage of Irish blood in his veins may be of interest to the reader - should there be one.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Impressions of Ireland The Gaelic League, however, starts with the principle that the economic revival can only be accomplished by means Of a thorough spiritual regeneration; and with this View the foreigner who visits Ireland must signify his hearty concurrence. England has proclaimed to the four winds that it was she who introduced into the sister island the settled forms of civilised life, to which Ireland had been a stranger; and Irishmen have seen themselves regarded for centuries, as belonging to an inferior race, inherently incapable Of organising itself into an enduring social structure. How England has vilified the tribal system' And yet, under its shade, Ireland has produced her bards and her lawgivers, her cenobites and her schools. Irish sentiment bitterly felt the rude shock of long, calculating disdain. Timid, suspicious, lacking faith in herself, mistrusting innova tion, shy Of initiative, sorrowful and resigned, with passive listlessness, or weeping in silence, she allowed the industry, the commerce, the habits Of life, and even the language of the country of Cromwell, to sweep over the land, which had witnessed the proud sway of the O' Connors and the wealth and afﬂuence of the Maguires.

A few extracts from those letters having found their way to the columns of the leading British papers, they became the occasion of somewhat premature, and, it seemed to the author, some-what unfair conclusions, as to their general purport and bearing.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Recollections of the Irish War Even in Ireland, folk in thinking of the war that ended in the establishment by International Treaty of the Free State go back no further than the Easier Rising of 1916. Little wonder that this way of thought should prevail outside Ireland. Life, however, does not work in this fashion. History, which is the record of Life, reveals a far-reaching series of connected causes and effects, difficult to disconnect into the trim order that the unimaginative mind requires. To follow any part of that record, from whatever personal standpoint it be seen, with understanding and interest, it is necessary, therefore, briefly to note the framework into which it is set. The Easter Rising of 1916 reaches back through two personalities to older events. Noble minds planned that Rising as an heroic gesture of sacrifice. Other minds, not less noble, held aloof because they saw no justification for it on military or political grounds. But of them all two (one on each side) connected that event, and the causes that immediately produced it, with earlier history. These two therefore are specially significant. The first of them is Arthur Griffith. He held aloof; but he took the Rising back to the fall of Parnell. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

I have often heard the term used, but I did not suppose that I should get such convincing evidence of it within twelve hours of my arrival at this northern port. This is to be a straightforward relation of what happened to some half dozen Americans, strangers to each other, a week ago, and strangers to all Ireland upon arrival. In details it is somewhat unusual, but in spirit I am sure it is characteristic of what might have befallen good Americans in any one of the four provinces.

A reprint of them, as a volume, has been asked for, and I now obey the call. My readers will take them for what they are - a rapid account of impressions received and thoughts excited from day to day, in the course of a journey of above 1200 miles. I have thought it best not to alter them, either in form or matter. There would be no use in attempting to give anything of the character of a closet-book to letters written sometimes in a coffee-room, sometimes in the crowded single parlour of a country inn, - now to the sound of the harp, and now to the clatter of knives and forks, and scarcely ever within reach of books therefore have I left untouched what I wrote, even to the no tices of passing incidents as if they were still present.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Golden Way: Being Notes and Impressions on a Journey Through Ireland, Scotland and England I had long dreamed the old, old dream - that some day my feet should be shod with winged sandals, my hand should clasp the travelers staff, the pilgrims scrip should hang from my shoulders, and my eyes see the hedged lanes, the cots and the castles, of that older world where history clothes each inch of country as the ivy its walls, and where literature has given to each rood of earth an individual charm. And when the dream became true - and then became like a dream again - I called the route over which I had passed A Golden Way. A Golden Way? Ah, well, it has been trodden by many pilgrims, and perchance what seems gold to me is merely the sun shining on the dust raised by their feet.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Stranger in Ireland At the end Of two or three months a man's ideas about a new country are usually clear cut and sharply defined, so that the task of putting them on paper is Simple, the result having as often as not a certain value from its very freshness. But after a stay of two or three years the Situation is altogether different. One feels that one' S subject is inexhaustible, that one' S ignorance is unlimited. At the same time all those precise impressions which made every one of the early days an adven ture have become blurred, confused and inextricably entangled. For anything ap proaching a generalisation which I now feel inclined to make on any subject connected with Ireland or the Irish, a hundred excep tions and contradictions at once present themselves. It is only by a ruthless insistence on first principles that any order can be got out of the chaos of conﬂicting observation. And in this realisation of what must be the only, sound basis for his conclusions the man of letters has too often (as in my own case) to lament his short comings as a scholar.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Readers' Guide to Irish Fiction The present guide TO irish fiction is intended by the author as the first part of a work in which it is hoped to furnish notes on books of all kinds dealing with Irish subjects. Before explaining the scope of this section of the work it may be well, in order to forestall wrong impressions, to say at once what it is not. In the first place, then, it does not lay claim to be a bibliography. By this I do not mean that I am content to be inaccurate or haphazard, but simply that I do not aim at exhaustive completeness. In the second place, it is not a catalogue of books by Irish writers. Lastly, it does not deal exclusively with books printed or published in Ireland. The author's aim has been to get together and to print in a convenient form a classified list of novels, tales, etc. (whether by Irish or by foreign writers), bearing on Ireland - that is, depicting some phase of Irish life or some episode of Irish history - and to append to each title a short descriptive note. Two things here call for some explanation, viz., the list of titles and the descriptive notes. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Creel of Irish Stories The ef'fect of Letterglas's solitude and verdure somehow seems to be heightened if one notices its single visible sign of human handiwork. This is a road-track, now all but quite grassed over, leading into the valley from its open end, where the Clonmoragh highway passes, and stopping aimlessly at the slope immediately below the Nick, having first flung two or three zig-zag loops up the hill side. A rust-eaten, handleless shovel, and the wreck of an overturned wheelbarrow, still mark the point where the work was abandoned on a misty morning in April, more than fifty springs ago; but the track itself is now merely a most faint difference of shade in the sward, which has crept back again indefatig ably, even where the austere road-metal had been thrown clattering down.

It'd be as good for me to make a present of this lot Welby as to take the price he's offering me, ' he went on, got up and took off his highly-scented kennel-coat, but I be bothered fighting him. Come on in and have somet drink tea myself at this hour.' If he had said toast and water it would have seemed than was suitable to such a frame of mind. As to the house I thought that when the day came that Flurry Knox could not be bothered with fighting old Welby things were becoming serious, but I kept this opinion to myself and merely offered an admiring comment on the roses that were blooming on the front of the house.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Irish Melodies The recollections connected, in my mind, with that early period of my life, when I first thought of interpreting in verse the touching language of my country's music, tempt me again to advert to those long past days; and even at the risk of being thought to indulge overmuch in what Colley Gibber calls "the great pleasure of writing about one's self all day," to notice briefly some of those impressions and influences under which the attempt to adapt words to our ancient Melodies was for some time meditated by me, and, at last, undertaken. There can be no doubt that to the zeal and industry of Mr. Bunting his country is indebted for the preservation of her old national airs. During the prevalence of the Penal Code, the music of Ireland was made to share in the fate of its people.
