Excerpt from Idyls of Killowen: A Soggarth's Secular Verses Of the rich old language which many earnest men and women are trying now to revive or keep alive in Ireland, the two phrases that are most familiar to outsiders are Soggarth Aroon and Cead mile failte - 'Priest dear,' and 'A hundred thousand welcomes.' The first of these explains the sub-title of my book; may the other be an omen of the reception that awaits it! The verses are called Killowen Idyls because many of them are concerned about rustic themes and scenes, and were inspired by recollections of early years spent in Killowen, a country district in County Down, stretching along the northern shore of Carlingford Lough, between Rostrevor and Mourne.
