Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Vision of St. Bride: And Other Poems A Vision of St. Bride. (Bridghit-Nam-Bratta) A Legend Of Ireland And The Hebrides. Introduction ´Twas in the darkness of the Pagan age, That Ireland´s history first began, When many a bold sea-rover, in his vessel frail, Ventured to cross the stormy sea, from sunny Spain, And seek adventure new, upon unknown shores. Others soon followed - From Phenicia remote, And from her colonies, men faced the perils Of the Western sea, seeking wealth, or homes. And founded families and warlike clans, From whom descended a race of powerful kings, Who shared, with many a feud, the lonely isle. No Christian worship theirs, till Blessed Patrick came, But strange beliefs, and secret rites, Derived from Eastern climes, Taught by Druid priests, who subtle wisdom brought From the wondrous Orient. These ruled with power, And with mystic rune - Worship of gods, symbolic, Magic spells - enforced with human sacrifice In hidden woods, or on altars built of stone, And such their influence o´er those they ruled, That none dared disobey the mandates they decreed. Fierce war did rage across the Irish sea, In Britain, and in mighty Rome: The grasp of Roman Eagle had not yet Been laid upon secluded Ireland, The factious chiefs, jealous of each others sway About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
