To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
. ■ The funeral of a gentleman acknowledged as the head of a clan (now an event of rare occurrence, and almost solely confined to the county Kerry) is one of those sights it is impossible to behold with- out feeling sublime sensations. The vast multitude, winding through some romantic defile, or trailing along the base of a wild mountain, while the chorus of the death-song, coming fitfully upon the breeze, is raised by a thousand voices. On a closer view, the aged nurse is seen sitting on the h...earse beside the coffin, with her body bent over it ; her actions dictated by the most violent grief, and her head com- pletely enveloped in the deep hood' of her large cloak, which falls in broad and heavy folds, producing altogether a most mysterious and awful figure.
Then at every cross-road, such roads being considered symbolic of their faith, there is a general halt; the men uncover their heads, and a prayer is offered up for the soul of their departed chief.
The Irish funeral howl is notorious, and although this vociferous expression of grief is on the decline, there is still, in the less civilized Chap.
