BRUSH AND PEN INK — INSPIRED BY “THE CROCK OF GOLD”
|
“After the Thin Woman of Inis Magrath had left the
god she visited all the fairy forts of Kilmasheogue, and
directed the Shee who lived there to be in waiting at the
dawn on the summit of the mountain;... these, with
their hosts, sang upon the summit of the hill welcoming
the god.... From north and south they came,
and from east and west, bright and happy beings, a multitude, without fear, without distraction, so that soon the
hill was gay with their voices and their noble raiment.”
From Chapter XVIII, “The Crock of Gold” by James Stephens |
