I read "Along the Edges" and "Swallows" today.
Both capture a kind of melancholy I've felt recently, though, not as extremely as the characters thank god.
Even though he doesn't leaven it, there's something therapeutic in seeing some sadness of yours rendered so perfectly and recognisably by some Leitrim genius forty years ago.

He's got it, the spiritual fragrance, the true parnassian note, the talent, whatever it is, he's got it.
