Ancient Ireland, indeed!

                                             …The rune and the chant,
                                                            evil eye

                                                …Gaunt figures of fear

                                                  and of friendliness,
                                            Four years they trespassed
                                                      On my dreams,

                                                         Until once,

                                                  in a standing circle
                                                          of stones,
                                               I felt their shadow pass


                                             Into the dark permanence

                                                    of ancient forms.


                                                       Like Dolmens
                                                 Round my Childhood,
                                                      The Old People

                                                      John Montague
