It is a must-read for fans of Irish literature and anyone interested in exploring the deeper mysteries of the human experience.Edain came out of Midhir's hill, and lay Beside young Aengus in his tower of glass, Where time is drowned in odour-laden winds And Druid moons, and murmuring of boughs, And sleepy boughs, and boughs where apples made Of opal and ruhy and pale chrysolite Awake unsleeping fires; and wove seven strings.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
