To abler hands I leave that task. Come, a summer-day idler, to this little tale. If here you see the ripples on the sunny waters, and hear the wavelets falling on the shingly shore of our out-of-the-world lives; and that, leaving, you carry away with you, in your heart, a little music of minor chords, I shall have achieved the utmost I attempted." ; "Is beag duine atá le fagháil a bhfuil féith an sgéalaidhe ann mar tá sé i Séamus Mac Maghnuis.
