After reaching the age of thirty-four, he became engaged in writing dramas and in assisting to establish the Irish National Theater in Dublin. In thus reviving Ireland's heroic history, Yeats has served his country and his art. The Wanderings of Oisin is his best narrative poem. Oisin, one of the ancient Celtic heroes, returns, after three hundred years of adventure, to find Ireland Christianized.
"'I have found a great horn, the man answered, 'many times as large as any horn that I ever saw. "'It is the great war-horn of my father, Finn McCool, said Oisin. 'Dig deeper. "The man dug again and said, 'I have found a lump of bog butter. "'Now blow the horn, said Oisin.
I was told in many places of Osgar's bravery and Goll's strength and Conan's bitter tongue, and the arguments of Oisin and Patrick. And I have often been given the story of Oisin's journey to Tir-nan-Og, the Country of the Young, that is, as I am told, "a fine place and everything that is good is in it.
If O'Grady recalls the Oisin who contended with Patrick and longed to be slaying with the Fianna, even though they were in hell, Leamy, anima naturaliter Christiana, reminds one rather of the Irish monk in a distant land moved to write lyrics in his missal by the song of the bird that makes him think of Erin, or Marban, the hermit, rejoicing to his brother, the king, in his "sheiling in the wood," his

And this time the nobles raised a mighty cheer. But Finn said, 'No marvel is it, Oisin, that thou hast won the game, for of a surety thou hast had the aid of Dermat who dwelleth amid the branches of the quicken-tree. And looking up he said, 'Have I not, Dermat, spoken truth? 'I have never known thy judgment err, O King, replied Dermat.

Harsh gargoyle face that warred against me over our mess of hash of lights in rue Saint-André-des-Arts. In words of words for words, palabras. Oisin with Patrick. Faunman he met in Clamart woods, brandishing a winebottle. C'est vendredi saint! Murthering Irish. His image, wandering, he met. I mine. I met a fool i'the forest.

A long, deep silence fell upon the Princess, while her eyes roved among the goodly company. At length she turned again to the chief who sat next her.

And the chief told his name and sang his praise.
