Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} at the Gates of Dawn a Collection Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} At the Gates of Dawn A Collection of Writings by Ella Young by Ella Young At the Gates of Dawn: A Collection of Writings by Ella Young by Ella Young. Time does not alter the fundamental and the elemental truths of this world. Though we allow ourselves to be easily caught up in the ephemeral nothingness of politics - the flag waving, the flag burning - words such as Oliver's and Young's are like finding an oasis filled with a calm and sober light directing us back to the purity of truth and away from that "false world." First let us hear from Mary Oliver: Teach the children. We don't matter so much, but the children do. Show them daisies and the pale hepatica. Teach them the taste of sassafras and wintergreen. The lives of the blue sailors, mallow, sunbursts, the moccasin-flowers. And the frisky ones—inkberry, lamb's quarters, blueberries. And the aromatic ones—rosemary, oregano. Give them peppermint to put in their pockets as they go to school. Give them the fields and the woods and the possibility of the world salvaged from the lords of profit. Stand them in the stream, head them upstream, rejoice as they learn to love this green space they live in, its sticks and leaves and then the silent, beautiful blossoms. And, now, from Ella Young: It’s fairy lore that makes the world beautiful…there are fairies all about us, if we’ll only look for them. How sad it is that a materialistic world laughs at them and their beauty… “If you want to develop imagination in a child, to fan the creative spark which may make him great, you can’t restrict his thought. The fairy kingdom is a vast realm of magic where most anything can happen. It’s a far more interesting place for a youngster than to take him riding in a street car…Fairies, also, are not for all children, but to those who love them let them have them.” ". The modern child… lives in a false world surrounded by mechanical toys and artificial amusements. There is no time to let the child sit and think; to turn out to nature, where the mountains, the birds and the flowers may talk to him - and they do talk - and to let him feel the beauty of things about him. And, then, how will a child know the greatest lessons of antiquity if his elders frown upon the rich folklore which affords him an inheritance of imagination and romance? The Weird of Fionavar.

Ella Young (26 December 1867 – 23 July 1956) was an Irish poet and Celtic mythologist active in the Gaelic and Celtic Revival literary movement of the late 19th and early 20th century.[1] Born in Ireland, Young was an author of poetry and children's books. She emigrated from Ireland to the United States in 1925 as a temporary visitor and lived in California. For five years she gave speaking tours on Celtic mythology at American universities, and in 1931 she was involved in a publicized immigration controversy when she attempted to become a citizen. Young held a chair in Irish Myth and Lore at the University of California, Berkeley for seven years. At Berkeley she was known for her colorful and lively persona, giving lectures while wearing the purple robes of a Druid, expounding on legendary creatures such as fairies and elves, and praising the benefits of talking to trees. Her encyclopedic knowledge and enthusiasm for the subject of Celtic mythology attracted and influenced many of her friends and won her a wide audience among writers and artists in California, including poet Robinson Jeffers, philosopher Alan Watts, photographer Ansel Adams, and composer Harry Partch, who set several of her poems to music. Later in life she served as the "godmother" and inspiration for the Dunites,[3] a group of artists living in the dunes of San Luis Obispo County. She retired to the town of Oceano, where she died at the age of 88. Early life and work in Ireland. Born in Fenagh, County Antrim, she grew up in Dublin in a Protestant family and attended the Royal University. She was sister to the scholar Rose Maud Young.

  • Focus Stories Local Women
    FOCUS STORIES LOCAL WOMEN Suffragettes While the question of Home Rule threatened the outbreak of the civil war during 1914, the suffragette movement had also become increasingly militant. The suffragettes had adopted a campaign of vandalism, arson and bombing throughout Ulster. Abbeylands House, Whiteabbey was targeted by militant suffragettes when the building was burned down in April 1914. For many women, the Home Rule question took priority over women’s rights. Plus, although Redmond and Carson held opposing positions on Home Rule, they had much in common. Both had conservative convictions, supported the British Empire and opposed women’s suffrage. Cumann na mBan Also during April 1914, a group of Irish women formed an organisation to assist the Irish Volunteers. The new organisation was called Cumann na mBan (Women’s League). With the founding of Cumann na mBan, Inghinidhe na hÉireann (Daughters of Ireland) which was established in 1900 by Maud Gonne, dissolved and merged into the new nationalist group. When finalising strategies for the Easter Rising, it was decided to integrate women from Cumann na mBan into the planned rebellion. FOCUS STORIES LOCAL WOMEN Ella Young Ella Young was born in 1867, in Fenagh, Ahoghill, Ballymena, to a Presbyterian family. From the age of three, Ella and family moved several times, but in her teenage years, they settled in Rathmines, Dublin. After graduating from the Royal University of Ireland in 1898, Ella joined the Theosophical Society where she met the poets WB Yeats and George Russell, who were also members of the Irish Literary Revival. She became involved in their work, putting old Irish tales into print and staging them.

  • ELLA YOUNG Click to View
    PRO / ANTI HOME RULE LOCAL WOMEN ELLA YOUNG Ella Young was born in 1867, in Fenagh, Ahoghill, Ballymena, to a Presbyterian family. From the age of three, Ella and family moved several times, but in her teenage years, they settled in Rathmines, Dublin. After graduating from the Royal University of Ireland in 1898, Ella joined the Theosophical Society where she met the poets WB Yeats and George Russell, who were also members of the Irish Literary Revival. She became involved in their work, putting old Irish tales into print and staging them. In 1903, she learned to speak Irish. She joined Inghinidhe na hÉireann (Daughters of Ireland), and taught the language to young boys and girls, along with Irish literature and mythology. Ella’s friend Maud Gonne a strong supporter of Irish Independence, had founded this organisation in 1900. Ella also developed a close friendship with Patrick Pearse, a member of the Gaelic League. He widely promoted Ireland’s ancient heritage as a means of restoring a strong cultural and nationalist identity to the people of Ireland. Pearse became convinced that the only way to secure Irish Independence was by armed insurrection and Ella supported him. In 1914, with the founding of Cumann na mBan, Ella became an enthusiastic member, she hid Irish Volunteer guns in house in preparation for rebellion, but took no part in the rising itself. During the Civil War of the early 1920s, Ella supported the anti-treaty republicans and was interned. She emigrated to America in 1925, where she became very established in literacy circles, giving lectures, writing and publishing folklore and poetry books inspired by Irish mythology.

  • Books for Children
    ~endix I Books for children IRISH books specifically written for children begin with Maria Edgeworth's well-known moral, educational stories which still appeal to children fortunate enough to have them read aloud to them. There is, however, more fantasy in the fairy stories of Granny s Wonderful Chair and the Stories It Told (1857) by Frances Brown (1816-79) the blind Donegal poet and novelist. Following Standish O'Grady's Irish stories came those of Ella Young (1865-1951). Born in County Antrim, she became an active Republican, learned Irish, and wrote The Coming of Lugh (1909) and Celtic Wonder-Tales (1910). Her later work The Wonder Smith and His Son (1927) and The Unicorn with Silver Shoes (1932) have a touch of pleasing fantasy about them. Another woman writer who produced stories for children was Winifred Letts (b. 1882), whose poems, in Songs from Leinster (1913) and More Songs from Leinster (1926), and an autobiography, Knockmaroon (1933), are worth reading. In more recent times Patricia Lynch (1900-72) wrote many very popular books for children, particularly her Turf-Cutter's Donkey Series which began in 1935, and the books about Brogeen the leprechaun, which began in 1947. Her writings, warmhearted and skilful, have been widely translated. A Storytellers Childhood (1947) is a masterly rendering of her own youth, to be compared, perhaps, with an earlier masterpiece, Hannah Lynch's Auto­ biography of a Child (1899). The Singing Cave (1959) by Eilis Dillon (b. 1920) is the best of this writer's work for children. She has also written a lively historical novel Across the Bitter Sea (1973) with a sequel Blood Relations (1977).

  • Is Not Maud: an Esoteric Foundation and Subtext for Irish Folklore in the Works of WB Yeats
    Estudios Irlandeses, Special Issue 12.2, 2017, pp. 139-153 __________________________________________________________________________________________ AEDEI When “She” Is Not Maud: An Esoteric Foundation and Subtext for Irish Folklore in the Works of W.B. Yeats C. Nicholas Serra Upper Iowa University, USA Copyright (c) 2017 by C. Nicholas Serra. This text may be archived and redistributed both in electronic form and in hard copy, provided that the author and journal are properly cited and no fee is charged for access. Abstract. This article examines Yeats’s broad use of Irish folklore between 1888 and 1938, and attempts to find a justification for his contention that his own unique metaphysical system expressed in both editions of A Vision, itself an outgrowth of his three decades of ritual practice as an initiate in the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, could somehow function as both an interpretation and enlargement of “the folk-lore of the villages”. Beyond treating Irish fairy stories as a way for Yeats to establish his own Irishness, capture what remained of “reckless Ireland” in its twilight, or create a political counter-discourse set against English hegemony, the immutability and immortality of the sídhe are considered in light of the assertions of several minor lectures from the Golden Dawn. This connection sheds new light on Yeats’s ideas about Unity of Being, and hypothesizes a possible esoteric path to “escape” from his system of phases so as to resolve the body-soul dilemma evident in his poetry. Key Words. Folkore, Golden Dawn, Cabala, Sídhe, Fairies, A Vision, Unity of Being. Resumen. En este artículo se investiga cómo W.B.
