Yonte's language has often been called "picturesque.' It is so, in the literal sense of the word, be- cause he never expresses thoughts in an abstract way, but always by means of concrete pictures. Thus, by means of a few salient details, he brings vividly before our mind the sad, hoopless, lifelong toil of the Irish peasant's wife —

That conveys no definite picture. but it opens up endless vistas to the imagination. That is the "Celtic magic"-to give us a new and beautiful world. The enchantment of it is ever fresh, because, for every mood we bring to it, we find in it eomething different.
