The Secret Rose is a collection of short stories and poems by Irish poet and playwright William Butler Yeats. The book is divided into two parts, with the first part containing eight stories and the second part consisting of ten poems. The stories in the first part are set in the Irish countryside and are steeped in folklore and mythology. They explore themes of love, loss, and the supernatural, and are filled with vivid descriptions of the landscape and the people who inhabit it. The second part of the book contains poems that are similarly infused with Irish mythology and folklore, and are often written in a lyrical and mystical style.Overall, The Secret Rose is a beautiful and haunting collection of tales and poems that capture the essence of Irish culture and mythology. It is a must-read for fans of Yeats and anyone interested in Irish literature and folklore.A man, with thin brown hair and a pale face, half ran, half walked, along the road that wound from the south to the town of Sligo. Many called him Cumhal, the son of Cormac, and many called him the Swift, Wild Horse; and he was a gleeman, and he wore a short parti-coloured doublet, and had pointed shoes, and a bulging wallet. Also he was of the blood of the Ernaans, and his birth-place was the Field of Gold; but his eating and sleeping places where the four provinces of Eri, and his abiding place was not upon the ridge of the earth.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
