For the Gaels of Ireland Are the men that God made mad For all their wars are merry And all their songs sad ! C.K. Chesterton |
"the Bagpipe is much used by the Irish. To its' sounds, this unconquered, fierce, and warlike people march their armies, and are encouraged to feats of valour. With it they also carry their dead to the grave, making such a mournful sound, as to force the bystander to weep". Vincenzo Galilei, 1581 |
