----- agus thit mé i ngrá leis an litríocht, go mórmhór na scríbhneoirí ón Bhlascaod Mór, oileán beag amach ó chósta na hÉireann. Just think about it, three masterpieces from one tiny island; "Fiche Bliain ag Fás" le Muiris Ó Súilleabháin, a beautiful title, "Peig" and "An t-Oileánach" le Tomás Ó Criomhthain. Agus tá na dánta nó an fhilíocht go hiontach ar fad. It is wonderful how appropriate the poetry is and how natural it is. Some of us were talking the other day and Raifteirí and Lá Fhéile Bríde were mentioned.

Anois teacht an earraigh beidh an lá ag dul chun síneadh,
?S tar éis na Féile Bríde ardóidh mé mo sheol,

It is wonderful to think of raising one's sail.
