Is eagal liom gur minicíghe go mór a bhíon an cnuc 'n-a "Mhangartain cheóigh," 'ná mar a bhíon sé 'n-a "Mhangartain aeir aoibhinn."
I cannot find out by a Google search which poet called Mangerton Mangarta an aeir aoibhinn. Does anyone recognise the reference? |

Cant help I'm afraid but isn't 'mar a dúirt an bhfile' sometimes used for old sayings - not necessarily a direct quote?
Mangerton is notorious for mists alright.The name is said to derive from 'mangaire' as in a horses mane and so 'hairy' or so I have heard. |

Unfortunately I don't have access through JSTOR but whenI get to a library in Cork I will try to look it up. Thank you. |
