Excerpt from Songs of BrittanyIf you ask the Breton minstrel whence he, the blacksmith's son and apprentice, derives his poetic gift, his extraordinary sense of all that is most beauti ful and fascinating in his native land and its folk-lore, he will tell you, without hesitation, it dates back to his early childhood, when he would listen spellbound hour by hour to the grandmother who loved to tell the boy the old, old tales as he sat by her knee 0' nights in the soft glow of the wood fire on the kitchen hearth. And none gripped him quite so closely as those stories of the mysterious sea, whose voice, now low and soothing, now loud and terrible, was ever in his cars. So to-day there are few writers either of prose or verse who know how to express as he expresses the manifold aspects of the ocean - the true inner meaning of the lives of those who go down to the sea in ships.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
