D’fhéadfadh gur sa 21ú haois atáimid – nó cuid againn – ach léiríonn cnuasach nua an Chinnéidigh gurb iad na nithe ársa amháin atá buan. Is iad na nithe atá chomh sean leis an gceo is óige ar fad. Tuigeann sí na foinsí, na mistéirí; maireann sí iontu agus tríothu. File nádúrtha amach is amach is ea Dairena.

We may be living in the 21st century – or some of us are – but these poems tell us that only ancient things are lasting. Growing up in an area studded with standing stones and ogham stones, is it any wonder she is high on history, ar bís le hársaíocht, stoned on antiquities. Rousseau’s ‘noble savage’ may never have meant very much … until now.
