Description
Excerpt from Blind Raftery and His Wife, Hilaria
Outside there was bustle and move ment. He could hear the ring of his little mare''s hoof on the rain-washed cobblestones, so impatient she was to be on her way past the purple Connemara Mountains to the county of Clare. Spring was coming in with the Atlantic breezes, and bird and beast knew it, and man and woman, too. There came to him the sound of the voices without, an occasional tag of Spanish from some sailor of Barcelona, a peasant''s soft liq uid Erse, the voluble English of the land lord and his people as they supervised the packing of his boxes on the led ponies. The nervousness as the harp m 1128 great leather case was being lashed into position.
