Countess Kathleen

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. Ireland having a huge body of tradition be hind her in the depths of time, will probably draw her deepest literary inspiration from this double fountain-head if she ever, as is the hope of all her children, make for herself a great distinctive poetic literature. She has already many moving songs and ballads which are quite her own. The Countess Kathleen, like The Wanderings of Oisin, is an attempt to unite a more ample method to feeling not less national, Celtic, and distinctive.
