#Celtic #MythologyMonday: The words of #Niamh of the Golden Hair sparked in Oisin a irresistible craving to live with her in the #Otherworld:
“Delightful is the land beyond all dreams,
Fairer than aught thine eyes have ever seen.
There all the year the fruit is on the tree,
And all the year the bloom is on the flower.

There with wild honey drip the forest trees;
The stores of wine and mead shall never fail.
...“

#Celtic #MythologyMonday: #Niamh, Princess of the Golden Hair, had fallen in love with #Oisin, who was overtaken on first sight with desire for this lovely woman from the #Otherworld. The beauty with the shining eyes pulled him onto her fine white horse with golden reins. Without a look back #Oisin went over seas and plains and mountains far beyond #Ireland to the Land of Pleasure.

#Celtic #MythologyMonday: After enjoying life with #Niamh for 3 years, #Oisin returned to #Ireland. When his white horse shied away, he fell to the ground. In a matter of seconds he became old. The poet had been gone for 300 years. The place he returned to was the same but not the same as it was.
