	ORPHEUS AND OISIN
		It may well be that each is but an expression of the need for youth, which is the passion of life, and the instinct of the imagination to breathe itself into a passionate moment of emotion, and the impulse of all the emotions and all the passions.
		Whether the story of Oisin, the Gaelic Orpheus, be a wanderer from archaic mythology, or arose clanless among the Gaelic hills--from moonseed, as is said of the tufted canna that floats its fairy snow-beards on the moorland air--matters little.
		Oisin, also, was the son of one who loved a woman of the deathless folk; for as the Thracian king OEagrus loved Calliope, of the divine race, so Fionn, the Agamemnon of the Gael, loved one of the Hidden People--a daughter of the people of the mounds, as we would say, of the Sidhe.
