Shaw; and conductors like Hamilton Harty and James Glover. By DIARMID GOFFEY. From the earliest times in the history of western Europe Ireland has been renowned for her work in metal.
'I have seen a man who met him to-day, answered Diarmid, and thereupon he laid his weapons on the ground and bounded upwards upon his javelin, coming down lightly beyond the host. 'If you call that a feat, then you have never seen a feat, said a young warrior of the green Fenians for so were they called from the colour of their armour.
She said to herself that if Diarmid were alive it was not Fionn who would lead his hound, and at this thought she swooned and fell heavily over the battlements. Ossian's heart was full of pity, and he bade Fionn and the Fenians to go, and ran himself to help her, but she lifted her head and begged that Fionn would leave her the hound of Diarmid.
They linked the Ireland of yesterday with the Ireland of Finn and Oscar, of Diarmid and Grainne, of Deirdre and the Sons of Usnech, of Cuchulainn the Hound of Ulster.
'We have slain the giant, said they, 'and have brought you the berries, and now we shall have peace for the death of our father. Fionn took the berries into his hand, and stooped down and smelt them. 'I swear, he cried, 'that it was Diarmid O'Dowd who gathered these berries, and full sure I am that it was he who slew the giant.
But the ascendancy of the Macdonalds had, like the ascendancy of the House of Austria, passed away; and the Campbells, the children of Diarmid, had become in the Highlands what the Bourbons had become in Europe. The parallel might be carried far. Imputations similar to those which it was the fashion to throw on the French government were thrown on the Campbells.
They kept in the bottom of the glen, splashing and springing from stone to stone, with mirthful enjoyment of each other's slips. Far off on a heathery knoll Diarmid watched them go. He had noted the swift intaking of the white cleading on the hedges, the disappearance of fluttering garmentry from the clothes-lines.
'I marvel not at your winning, O Ossian, seeing that Oscar is doing his best for you, and that the skilled knowledge of Dearing, and the prompting of Diarmid, are all with you. 'Now your eyes must be blinded, O Fionn, to think that Diarmid would stay in that tree when you are beneath him. 'Which of us has the truth on his side, O Diarmid? said Fionn, looking up.
Argyle is moving upon Inverlochy with three thousand chosen men, commanded by the flower of the sons of Diarmid. These are my news they are certain it is for you to construe their purport."
'What berries are those that Fionn wants? asked Grania, 'and why cannot they be got for him? Then Diarmid told her the story, and how the country round was laid waste. 'But when Fionn put me under his ban, continued he, 'the giant gave me leave to hunt there if I would, but forbade me to touch the berries. And now, O children of Moirna, will you fight me or seek the berries?
