Excerpt from Bog-Myrtle and Peat: Tales Chiefly of Galloway, Gathered From the Years 1889 to 1895Tales, not poems, are written upon them now. I hear the voices of Them Ones, as Irish folk impressively say of the Little People, telling me tales out of the Book Sealed, tales which in the very hearing make a man blush hotly and thrill with hopes mysterious. Such stories as they are The romances of high young blood, of maiden's Winsome purity and frank disdain, of strong men who take their lives in hand and hurl themselves upon the push of pikes. And though I cannot grasp more than a hint of the plot, yet as my feet swish through the dewy swathes of the hyacinths or crisp along the frost-bitten snow, a wild thought quickens within me into a belief, that one day I shall hear them all, and tell these tales for my very own so that the world must listen.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
