- In the cry of the seagull as he winged his solitary flight over the atlantic waves, in the shriek of the eagle as he wheeled around the heights of the Kerry-Mountains, in the note of the throstle as she sang her evening lay in the wood of the Sleam Gort, in the roar of the cataract as it foamed and splashed down the rocky ravine, in the sob of the ocean as it beat unceasingly against the cliffs of Achill, in the sia of the wind as it moved, ghostlike through the oaks of Derrybawn- In all these sounds the ancient Gael heard a music unheard by other men, all these sounds I spoke to his inmost heart in whispers mysterious by half understood.
