Gods and Fighting Men
The Story of the Tuatha De Danaan and
of the Fianna of Ireland,
by Lady Augusta Gregory
Preface by: William Butler Yeats
[1904]
Pages: 608
Lady Gregory's book of tales is full of fellowship untroubled like theirs, and made noble by a courtesy that has gone perhaps out of the world. I do not know in literature better friends and lovers. When one of the Fianna finds Osgar dying the proud death of a young man, and asks is it well with him, he is answered, 'I am as you would have me be'. The very heroism of the Fianna is indeed but their pride and joy in one another, their good-fellowship.
