Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Yourself and the Neighbours If a stranger looked over your half-door, he would see something to interest and please, even, maybe, to inspire and elevate him. For he would find that your lives are not as barren as your bogs, or your nature quite as rude as your hills. Indeed, he might be led to think that - maybe in obedience to the beautiful law of compensation - an inverse ratio ruled these relations. It is now a long time since first your people were given choice of fertility of soil or of soul, - and took the latter. And many times since were they tested, but every time they chose what you think was the wiser part. Owen a-Gallagher used to say: "Cromwell commanded us to Hell or Connaught. We took Connaught, and left Hell to himself." The Cromwells conquered your bodies only. Among the moors and bogs to which your fathers, - with their fellows, the wolves - were driven, hunted and starving, they reared palaces of beauty imperishable. And with humour from Heaven God lightened their lives. In the head of the toad they found the jewel - and handed it on to you, their heir. If one lived your life for a day, one would joyfully realize this. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
