The Celtic Twilight. E-book. Formato EPUB. I have desired, like every artist, to create a little world out of the<br/>beautiful, pleasant, and significant things of this marred and clumsy<br/>world, and to show in a vision something of the face of Ireland to any<br/>of my own people who would look where I bid them. I have therefore<br/>written down accurately and candidly much that I have heard and seen,<br/>and, except by way of commentary, nothing that I have merely imagined.<br/>I have, however, been at no pains to separate my own beliefs from those<br/>of the peasantry, but have rather let my men and women, dhouls and<br/>faeries, go their way unoffended or defended by any argument of mine.<br/>The things a man has heard and seen are threads of life, and if he pull<br/>them carefully from the confused distaff of memory, any who will can<br/>weave them into whatever garments of belief please them best. I too<br/>have woven my garment like another, but I shall try to keep warm in it,<br/>and shall be well content if it do not unbecome me.<br/><br/>Hope and Memory have one daughter and her name is Art, and she has<br/>built her dwelling far from the desperate field where men hang out<br/>their garments upon forked boughs to be banners of battle. O beloved<br/>daughter of Hope and Memory, be with me for a little.
