Wind und Woge: Keltische Sagen
Excerpt from Wind and Wave
It is perhaps even more difficult to mahe a selection from one's own warh than from that of another. Bias conflicts with judgment, and as often as not association overrules both. One remembers, too, what one had in mind to write; the elusive mood; the tense one is too apt to forget the attenuated emotion, the mood arisen and gone; or to ignore, till too late, the dif'erence hetween the thing done and the thing dreamed.

About the author
Fiona Macleod
247 books22 followersFiona MacLeod was a pseudonym used by the Scottish writer William Sharp (1855 - 1905) from 1893. In the biography Sharp constructed for Fiona Macleod, she is identified as a Highland cousin with a knowledge of Gaelic. The Gaelic deployed in her writings seems to have been derived from Mary Mackellar's Tourists Hand-book of Gaelic and English Phrases for the Highlands (c.1882).
