SERIES 2: HEALY COLLECTION OF IRISH LITERATURE BOOKS

Scope and Contents

All books in the collection have been separated and are cataloged individually.
Part II catalogues both the Dun Emer-Cuala Press books and books from other presses. The listing is a single one, arranged alphabetically by author and, within each author, by title.
The entries for the Dun-Emer-Cuala Press books are long, as they give all details of autographs, bookplates, material laid in, and -- their outstanding feature -- their inscriptions. These have been transcribed as closely as possible to reflect line endings, misspellings, slips, and deletions. Bibliographically however, the entries are brief, as full information on the books can be found in Liam Miller's The Dun Emer, Later the Cuala Press (Dublin: The Cuala Press. 1973) and Alan Wade's bibliography of W. B. Yeats.
The principle of selection for inclusion here, from the numerous Irish books from other presses in the Healy Collection, has been each book's rarity, inscriptions, literary interest or, occasionally (as in the Jack Yeats exhibition catalogues), reference value.

Whenever I put into the Cuala books a book not upon an Irish theme it had some relation to Irish work generally at the Abbey Theatre. When this book was published we were about to set out a series of plays in the Japanese manner though on Irish themes. Ezra Pounds translation is in the style afterwards copied by Waley in his well known translations of the Noh drama of Japan.

Elbow Room.
Astronomers describe a place Seen through a crack in the vault of Space So dark so absolute so far No light wave from the oldest star, Nor even the thought of God can reach And, fainting, fall on that far beach; abhorrent and inhuman, this, Chineses call `The Great Abyss'. But I am cheered, for now I know There's somewhere left for a man to go - (Always supposing one would care When dead, for going anywhere.) But what a place to make your goal, And lift your head and rouse your soul! Oh! what a place to speak your mind! Without disquieting mankind! There's where I would find elbow room Alone, beyond the Crack of Doom! Oliver St. J Gogarty

If I were a salmon to swim in the stream, Or a trout to leap in the lake,
Or a butterfly bright when the golden gleam Of the sun bids butterflies wake, If I were a fox to lurk in the rocks And wander at night for prey, Or an eagle to fly through the folds of the sky, Or a thrush to sing on the spray,
If I were a Kite with a wide-spread wing To sweep far over the plain,
Or a beast or a bird or a fish or a thing Which has not a soul to pain,
I never would envy the lot of a man, For man has a soul to ache,
A conscience to smite and a thought to bite And a weary heart to break.
Douglas Hyde (An Craoibin)
Inscription of fourth front flyleaf:
To James A Healy. The prose in this book & in Hyde's earlier Beside the Fire was the first imaginative, serious use of Irish dialect. Before this we had nothing, but the comic dialect of the novelists which is town dialect. The Religious Songs of Connacht would have been another masterpiece but he sent it, at my suggestion, to Father Finlay, the Dublin Jesuit for publication in some magazine. Finlay, having no literary feeling, was shocked at the style & he said he would not publish it unless it was `in either Irish or English'. Hyde an humble man about his own work did what he wished & never again wrote good prose. Like Augusta Gregory Hyde writes Norman English badly. She learned her beautiful poetic style first from The Love Songs of Connacht.

For James A Healy
I dislike this book. There was much persuasion used upon me by the girls at the press & my sister to get me to consent. They were taken I suppose with Moore's fame as a native poet.

A Suplement to `The Golden Treasury of Irish verse' published a year before by Macmillan. Some priest found the master in a Coole school reading the larger anthology with his pupils.

Beyond the mountain's crest.

The roads were blind. The grave
Even of love, heart-lost, was drowned
Under times brimming wave.
Huddled beneath the wheeling sky,
Strange was my comfort there,
That stars and stones and love and I
Drew to one sepulchre.

THE WIND AMONG THE REEDS: W.B. Yeats: 1899
This is a lovely book, and it has been a joy to look at its embellishments; most often by writers and artists I have known.
One of the loveliest lyrics in it - indeed, one of the most perfect of its time from the point of view of literary technique - is `The Cloths of Heaven'.
Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths, Enwrought with golden and silver light, The blue and the dim and the dark cloths Of night and light and the half light, I would spread the cloths under your feet: But I, being poor, have only my dreams; I have spread my dreams under your feet; Tread softly because you tread on my dreams. Out of a deep personal emotion it springs; but like all work of its kind, through a subtle alchemy that only the poet knows, it becomes the impersonal utterance of every lover that loves hotly.
 

Sheet #3:

Scope and Contents

Who was the woman who inspired this lyric, and others, in The Wind Among the Reeds?
She is still happily living, old now in years but ever-young in spirit - one whose early ideals have not been surrendered to the violence or the chicanery of Irish life; a worshipper before the shrine of traditional Irish beauty; a friend of the Irish poor and outcast; a comforter of the soldiers and prisoners who served Ireland through direst suffering from the latter days of Humanism to the Civil War of 1922-23. Her activity, I believe, can only end with her death; but for such a character there is no dissolution.
Poetical exile, I hail her - Maud Gonne!
