Sentences with CEILIDH (5)
Had they been shepherds, or even the clever gillies that sometimes came to the kitchen of Ladyfield on nights of _ceilidh_ or gossip, he would have felt himself their equal.
Empty, empty, but I see all the old peoples roaming in bands over it, the sun smiting them, the rain drenching, I cannot but be thinking of shealing huts that spotted the levels, of bairns crying about the doors, of nights of _ceilidh_ round peat fires dead and cold now, but yet with the smoke of them hanging somewhere round the universe.” He stopped, and turned away from her, concealing his perturbation.
Here were we, poor peasants, in a waste of frost and hills, cut off from the merry folks sitting by fire and flame at ease! Even our gossiping, our _ceilidh_ in each other’s houses, was stopped; except in the castle itself no more the song and story, the pipe and trump.
The circle became extended by merely pushing back the seats, and this arrangement became absolutely necessary in the houses which were most celebrated as the great _Ceilidh_ centres of the district.
The _Ceilidh_ rendezvous is the house in which all the Folk-lore of the country, all the old _sgeulachdan_ or stories, the ancient poetry known to the bards or _Seanachaidhean_, and old riddles and proverbs are recited from night to night by old and young.
Quotes with CEILIDH (2)
Every week seems to bring another luxuriantly creamy envelope, the thickness of a letter-bomb, containing a complex invitation — a triumph of paper engineering — and a comprehensive dossier of phone numbers, email addresses, websites, how to get there, what to wear, where to buy the gifts. Country house hotels are being block-booked, great schools of salmon are being poached, vast marquees are appearing overnight like Bedouin tent cities. Silky grey morning suits and top hats…
As every languageless, stateless, selfless nation has one last, twisted image of its worst and best, we have the ceilidh. Here we pretend we are Highland, pretend we have mysteries in our work, pretend we have work. We forget our record of atrocities wherever we have been made masters and become comfortable servants again. Our present and our past creep in to change each other and we feel angry and sad and Scottish. Perhaps we feel free.
