Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Midnight Court: And the Adventures of a Luckless Fellow Months ago Mr. Ussher asked me to introduce his translation of The Midnight Court. I had seen a few pages in an Irish magazine; praised its vitality; my words had been repeated; and because I could discover no reason for refusal that did not make me a little ashamed, I consented. Yet I could wish that a Gaelic scholar had been found, or failing that some man of known sobriety of manner and of mind - Professor Trench of Trinity College let us say - to introduce to the Irish reading public this vital, extravagant, immoral, preposterous poem. Brian Mac Giolla Meidhre - or to put it in English, Brian Merriman - wrote in Gaelic, one final and three internal rhymes in every line, pouring all his mediaeval abundance into that narrow neck. He was born early in the eighteenth century, somewhere in Clare, even now the most turbulent of counties, and the countrymen of Clare and of many parts of Munster have repeated his poem down to our own day.
