Excerpt from The Isle of DreamsBut to write of Iona, there are many ways of approach. N 0 place that has a spiritual history can, to those who know nothing of it, be revealed by facts and descriptions. The approach may be through the obscure glens of another's mind and so out by the moonlit way, as well as by the track that thousands travel. I have nothing to say here of Iona's acreage, or fisheries, or pastures: nothing of how the islanders l...

Excerpt from The Mountain LoversIn the heart of the pine-woods it was meshed as in a net. The sighing of it through the green-gloom avenues, warm with the diffused ruddiness of the pine-bark, was as the sound of distant water falling from infrequent ledge to ledge in a mountain gorge. Intent by the fringe of the forest, or even upon the under slopes still ¿ooded with afternoon sunlight, one might have heard its rising and falling sough as it b...

Along the pregnant soil keener ears than ours would have heard the stir of new life, the innumerous whisper of the bursting ...

Excerpt from The Immortal Hour: A Drama in Two ActsEochaidh, and the immortal love of Midir this is new, perhaps: though what seems new may be the old become transparent only, the old in turn being often the new seen in reverse as one may for the first time see a star in a deep water that has already immemorially mirrored it. Nor has Dalua part or mention in the antique legend. Like other ancient things, this divinity hath come secretly upon u...

Excerpt from Tragic Romances, Vol. 3It is Destiny, then, that is the Protagonist in the Celtic Drama. And it is Destiny, that sombre Demogorgon of the Gael, whose boding breath, whose menace, whose shadow glooms so much of the remote life I know, and hence glooms also this book of interpretations: for pages of life must either be interpretative or merely documentary, and these following pages have for the most part been written as by one who r...

Excerpt from The Dominion of Dreams: Under the Dark StarTrue, there was a faint rising and falling me'h-ing high in the darkness of the hillside, but that melancholy sound as Of lost children crying, was confused with the rustling Of many leaves of ash and birch, with eddies of air through the heather and among the fronds of the bracken, and with the uncertain hum of trickling waters. No one utterance slid cleanly through the gloom, but only t...
