W.B. Yeats, from the preface to
Gods and Fighting Men:
"Children play at being great and wonderful people, at the ambitions they will put away for one reason or another before they grow into ordinary men and women. Mankind as a whole had a like dream once; everybody and nobody built up the dream bit by bit, and the ancient story-tellers are there to make us remember what mankind would have been like, had not fear and the failing will and the laws of nature tripped up its heels."
The fantastic portrait of
Cuchulain you see here (complete with his many-pupilled eyes!) was done by the inimitable Courtny Hopen of
Storms, Saints, and Streetcars. This and more of her
rather excellent art can be found at her
website.
