Title

A Dream of Angus Oge

Subject

Frame story is contemporary; sister Norah tells traditional Cuculain tale to Con, who re-enacts the heroes; sister sings him to sleep, invoking the Lord of the Wand; Con in turn summons the Shepherd, a golden-bearded man who flies over fairyland with him, to his home with the Danaans in their immortal lands, in a cave where “there was everywhere a wandering ecstasy of sound: light and sound were one; knight had a voice, and the music hung glittering in the air.” This is the cave of eternal forms, of which earth is a mere shadow. Shepherd identifies himself as Angus the Young, the sunlight in the heart, the moonlight in the mind. The child wakes.
