Description:Excerpt from Irish Literature, Vol. 2 of 10: Section One; Irish Authors and Their Writings; Sir William Francis Butler, And, George Darley This excessive love of nature among the early Irish is all the more remarkable when we remember that it has always been believed that the Aryan races owe their ap preciation of the beauties of nature to the introduction among them of Christianity. Religion for the first time taught them that the same God that created them created also all their surroundings, and thereby made these sur roundings an object of increased interest. Any esthetic sensibility, where nature was concerned, seems to have been practically unknown among the Pagans of Greece and Rome. According to Humboldt, we discern the first faint traces of it in Cicero and the younger Pliny. But the Irish Pagan seems to have been penetrated with it to his profoundest depths, for there can be little doubt that such descriptions as I have quoted do not take their color from Christianity, but are a real legacy from pre-christian times.
