Publisher's Synopsis
The Kiltartan Poetry Book is a collection of Irish poetry compiled and edited by Lady Augusta Gregory, a prominent figure in the Irish literary revival of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The book features poems by well-known Irish poets such as W.B. Yeats and Lady Gregory herself, as well as lesser-known poets from the Kiltartan area of County Galway, Ireland. The poems are written in both English and Irish Gaelic, and many of them are accompanied by notes and translations. The themes of the poems range from love and nature to Irish folklore and mythology. The Kiltartan Poetry Book is considered a valuable resource for those interested in Irish literature and culture, and it remains a popular work among scholars and enthusiasts alike.As to the Seven Heavens that are around the earth, the first of them is the bright cloudy heaven that is the nearest and that has shining out of it the moon and the scattering of stars. Beyond that are two flaming heavens, angels are in them and the breaking loose of winds. Beyond those an ice-cold heaven, bluer than any blue, seven times colder than any snow, and it is out of that comes the shining of the sun. Two heavens there are above that again, bright like flame, and it is out of them shine the fiery stars that put fruitfulness in the clouds and in the sea.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
