As our language wanes and dies, the golden legends of the far-off centuries fade and pass away. No one sees their influence upon culture; no one sees their educational power.
Douglas Hyde Every crag and gnarled tree and lonely valley has its own strange and graceful legend attached to it. Douglas Hyde I - and there are hundreds of thousands of Irishmen who felt on this subject as I do - have always liked my Celtic countrymen and disliked the English nation; it is a national trait of character, and I cannot help it. Douglas Hyde I do not share the wish to see my language dead and decently buried. Douglas Hyde It is a most disgraceful shame the way in which Irishmen are brought up. They are ashamed of their language, institutions, and of everything Irish. Douglas Hyde |
