 \nBy L.E.Bassett  \n6765  \nCABROLL CULL山   AW盈kesha,Wiaconsin 58186  \nINTRODUCTION  \nIt must have been on Synge's second visit tothe Aran Islands that he had the experienceout of which was wrought what many believeto be his greatest play.The scene of“Ridersto the Sea”is laid in a cottage on Inishmaan,the middle and most interesting island of theAran group.While Synge was on Inishmaan,the story came to him of a man whose bodyhad been washed up on the far away coast ofDonegal,and who,by reason of certain pecu-liarities of dress,was suspected to be from theisland.In due course,he was recognised asa native of Inishmaan,in exactly the mannerdescribed in the play,and perhaps one of themost poignantly vivid passages in Synge's bookon\"The Aran Islands\"relates the incident ofhis burial.  \nThe other element in the story which Syngeintroduces into the play is equally true.Manytales of\"second sight\"are to be heard amongCeltic races.In fact,they are so common as  \nRIDERS TO THE SEA  \nto arouse little or no wonder in the minds ofthe people.It is just such a tale,which thereseems no valid reason for doubting,that Syngeheard,and that gave the title,\"Riders to theSea”,to his play.  \nIt is the dramatist's high distinction that hehas simply taken the materials which lay readyto his hand,and by the power of sympathywoven them,with little modification,into atragedy which,for dramatic irony and noblepity,has no equal among its contemporaries.  \nGreat tragedy,it is frequently claimed withsome show of justice,has perforce departedwith the advance of modern life and its com-plicated tangle of interests and creature com-forts.A highly developed civilisation,withits attendant specialisation of culture,tendsever to lose sight of those elemental forces,those primal emotions,naked to wind and sky,which are the stuff from which great drama iswrought by the artist,but which,as it wouldseem,are rapidly departing from us.  \nIt is only in the far places,where solitarycommunion may be had with the elements,thatthis dynamic life is still to be found continu-  \nVIII","cbCaiec6EhkQ7zqZ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiec6EhkQ7zqZ","pdf",1894532,52,"English","#
