Simms, Christine D. and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at https://www.pgdp.net "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. It begins with a discussion about the unique characteristics of Irish poetry compared to other European literatures and highlights how Ireland managed to preserve its vernacular poetry despite external influences. The first selections feature various mythological narratives and lyrical expressions, such as the enchanting "Isles of the Happy" and "The Sea-God's Address to Bran," which beckon the reader into a world where nature and the supernatural intertwine, while also echoing the themes of love and loss through poignant laments and hymns.
