pjthompsonRandom quote of the day:
“It is hard to tell sometimes what has been a real vision, and what is tradition, a legend hanging in the air, a “vanity” as our people call it, made use of by a story-teller here and there, or impressing itself as a real experience on some sensitive imaginative mind. For tradition has a large place in “the Book of the People” showing a sowing and re-sowing, a continuity and a new birth as in nature.”
—Lady Gregory, Visions and Beliefs in the West of Ireland
