Of all the Irish playwrights who have arisen in recent years, Lady Gregory has produced most and W.B. Yeats is the most poetic. He is more a lyric poet than a dramatist, and is never satisfied with his work for the stage, but keeps eternally chopping and changing it. His Kathleen-Ni-Houlihan, though a dream-play, always appeals to an audience of Irish people.
You and I are what Father Greer and the rest of them would consider rotten bad Catholics, and I believe they know it!" He got up from the limping old rocking-chair and stretched himself, with a yawn that prolonged itself into a howl. "Oh Dark Rosaleen! or Kathleen-ni-Houlihan or anything else you like to call yourself if you only knew how really and sincerely devoted I am to you!
It was while rehearsing this play that the thought came to Fay: "Why not have my little company of Irish-born actors the Ormond Dramatic Society appear in plays by Irish writers instead of in the ones they have been giving for years?" And the thought soon ripened into realization. "Æ" got for them from Yeats Kathleen-Ni-Houlihan, to make up the programme.
