Excerpt from Impressions of Ireland "The heroes thou weepest are dead, Can they live again?" - S. Patrick to Ossian in the Lays of Ossian. Every year in August when the warm sun gilds the rich cornfields of the Golden Vale, between Cashel and Limerick, and when the groves of Killarney and Glengarriff are in the full splendour of their vegetation, the Gaelic League, founded to promote the Celtic Revival, holds its general assembly - its Solemn Oireachtas - in Dublin. Delegates from the various branches throughout the country report on the progress of the movement. Single and group competitions, in singing, dancing and Irish History are held, officers are appointed, and an attractive programme of festivities, distinctly Celtic, is gone through, with the object of interesting in the movement an ever-increasing number of Irishmen, especially from among the natives of Dublin - a city, upon which English influence has been longest and most successfully exercised. The congress is a real balancing up of the progress annually achieved by Ireland, in the work of restoring her language and customs, and, very opportunely, is held at a season, when her verdant plains and uplands, rich in pasture and flowers, renew their perennial bloom.
