Book excerpt: Excerpt from Irish Local Legends The collecting and preservation of Folk-lore Tales have engaged the attention and interest of many national writers, especially during the present century. Such compositions have been presented in all known languages, while they have an undoubted ethnological value in historical and romantic literature. Fantastical or visionary though the topics may appear to be, still their record is pleasing to the imagination, and even inviting to philosophic reflection. Let not our readers suppose that fables are solely based on idealism. Subjectively to our ancestors, several were realistic; while objectively, their themes are frequently traced from, if not found within, the domain of fact. This is more especially true of many Irish Local Legends. Their original forms have undergone various changes during the lapse of time. Popular and oral narrative often becomes an alembic of transmission, which serves to draw forth their spirit and essence, while flavoured or coloured with fantasy and invention, to supply the loss of historic or traditional incidents. However, the term Legend has an application to narratives and relations, not even remotely bordering on romance; and therefore, in connection with the subject matter of the present little work are introduced themes only intended to revive some reminiscences of customs and incidents, that are fast fading from a knowledge of the present generation.

Download or read book Ireland s Birds written by Niall Mac Coitir and published by Gill & Macmillan Ltd. This book was released on 2015-09-28 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Birds have been important symbols in our art and culture for thousands of years. They have inspired poets and painters, and feature in many place names and legends. In this book, Niall Mac Coitir draws together the mythology, legends and folklore of Ireland's birds, both wild and domestic. The birds are presented in seasonal order based on their migratory habits (the cuckoo and summer) or on their cultural associations (the robin with Christmas). He also explores how birds are often powerful symbols of various virtues and qualities, such as the goose, which is a symbol of watchfulness and bravery. This challenges us to look at birds in a different way, as dynamic creatures that have influenced our society over the millennia. Written with imagination and enthusiasm, this mix of natural history, mythology and folklore will delight and enlighten all interested in the birds of Ireland.
