A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Prillisk, in the parish of Clogher, in the county of Tyrone, a farmer named Carleton. A mong his neighbours he was noted for his great memory. A pious Catholic, he could repeat almost the whole of the Old and New Testament, and no man ever heard tell of Gaelic charm, rann, poem, prophecy, miracle, tale of blessed priest or friar, revelation of ghost or fairy, that did not already lie on this mans tongue. His wife, Mary, was even better known. Hers was the sweetest voice within the range of many baronies. When she went to sing at wake or wedding the neighbours for miles round would flock in to hear, as city folk do for some famous prima donna. She had a great store of old Gaelic songs and tunes. Many an air, sung once under all I rish roof-trees, has gone into the grave with her. The words she sang were Gaelic. Once they asked her to sing the air, The Red-haired Man s Wife, to English words.
