“You are light in my hand as a windrush might be.”

When you felt the red fire
Of the forge, as it played,
Did you feel,
Too, my swordsman’s desire
Run like blood on your blade
And blue steel?

A won­der­ful set of broad­sides from turn of the cen­tury Ire­land, illus­trated by the artist Jack B. Yeats.

Each edi­tion was just 300 copies.  Art speaks to whomever will listen.

You can see the col­lec­tion here at the Vil­lanova dig­i­tal library.
