N:Glens are not always pictures of springtime greenery. Ed remembers 
N:them much as Nora did in Syngeis Shadow of the Glen- "and seeing 
N:nothing but the mists rolling down the bog, and the mists again, and 
N:they rolling up the bog, and hearing nothing but the wind crying out 
N:in the bits of broken trees left from the great storm, and the streams 
N:roaring with the rain." Ireland is the terrible beauty of the dark glen
N:in the depth of its wild wind and storm.
