Summary: "Selections from Ancient Irish Poetry" by Kuno Meyer is a collection of translations of early Irish poems written in the early 20th century. The work presents a variety of lyrical poetry that captures the essence of ancient Irish culture and spirituality, offering insights into myths, religious themes, and reflections on nature, love, and loss. The opening of this collection introduces readers to the rich and profound world of ancient Irish literature.
