Yeats undoubtedly is a great poet but these short writing were too artsy and boring for me.... ( ) These six tales concern a schoolmaster, Owen "Red" Hanrahan, who is caught up by the Sidhe one Samhain Eve and, Rip Van Winkle-like, held out of time for years. When he returns, he has become one of the old bards, able to turn the hearts of men, charm women to his side, and lay curses upon those who offend him. The attraction of these tales is not in the stories, which are rather simple, but in their language. Yeats prose and poetry in these early stories is ornate and lush, evoking Irish folklore just by their tone. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

Hanrahan, the hedge schoolmaster, a tall, strong, red-haired young man, came into the barn where some of the men of the village were sitting on Samhain Eve. It had been a dwelling-house, and when the man that owned it had built a better one, he had put the two rooms together, and kept it for a place to store one thing or another. There was a fire on the old hearth, and there were dip candles stuck in bottles, and there was a black quart bottle upon some boards that had been put across two barrels to make a table. Most of the men were sitting beside the fire, and one of them was singing a long wandering song, about a Munster man and a Connaught man that were quarrelling about their two provinces.
