Quotes by Fionn MacColla (?)

“Life must have been good here in the old days. The folk were a lusty race, with a song never far from their lips.

The life of the glenpeople in its yearly round and seasons possessed a shape and harmony, it appeared as a natural work of completion of unassisted Nature, on which it rested as on a base properly proportioned to it and with which it formed a single, ordered, intelligible whole.”
― Fionn MacColla, And the Cock Crew
