BEARTA CRUADHA.

TAGRA.

Ar chuid an mhí seo gaibh tharainn d'aiste Phiaruis
Béaslaoi:

A dheacracht dhúinn fuaim focail do dheighilt ó n-a
bhrígh,

Suidheamh focal, an arrangement or placing toge-
ther in order of words.

Ní mór rannaidheacht d'fhilidheacht, versification is
necessary to poetry.

Ní duan go huaim, there can be no poem without
metric melody. Uaim, literally alliteration, is some-
times used in this wider meaning.

Féith san bhfile, poetic inspiration in the bard.

Gan an gliogaireacht úd do bhac, “without all this
jingling,” a quotation from Carlyle.

Clisdeacht ealadhna, artistic dexterity.

Fuinneamh agus teasaidheacht an ghnáth-fhile, the
force and fervour of the true poet.

File le féith agus foghluim, a poet combining
artistic skill with genuine inspiration.

Is feárr file na féithe, &c., a poet of energy is bet-
ter than a poet of polished language, literary skill.

Táithte 'n-a dhúthchas, inherent in his nature.

Dian-cheangal dealbhthóireachta, stern restrictions
of artistic form.

Modha nódha agus fás, new methods and develop-
ment.
