Title: Celts, The |
| Author: Joseph Raftery |
Description: The Celts were once a great and wide-spread people. They conquered many countries and their heirs live on in Brittany, Wales, Scotland and Ireland.
In Ireland it has been Celtic destiny for many centuries to suffer wrongs rather than inflict them. This is not an ignoble history and the Celtic heritage no mean tradition. It is a heritage of beauty in decorative art and in lyric poetry, of incandescent imagination in literature, of devotion to ideals rather than to material gain, of vitality and the will to survive, and indeed courage in battle too.
The Celtic heritage is ours in a peculiar way, for the Irish are the only independent people to possess it.
