Celtic Spiritual Verse by George Roger Dunbar Mclean

This is a reissue of a classic text first published in 1961, which has been out of print for many years. The Gaelic poetry of the Western Highlands of Scotland contains gems of poetic feeling and deep religious experience, having its origins in the very earliest days of Celtic Christianity. G.R.D. Mclean provides translations of 535 typical Gaelic poems, chosen from folklorist Alexander Carmichael's Carmina Gadelica (1900), the most complete anthology of Celtic oral tradition ever assembled.
'This is one of the most formative books I have ever readIt not only introduces you to the innermost thoughts and spirituality of the Celtic church but to a depth of prayer and Presence that are so often missing today.' David Adam, Vicar of Lindisfarne
