Alıntılar
The Cailleach Bhéirrewill appear to a hero or warrior as an old woman asking to be loved. When she receives love, she becomes a beautiful young maiden. She passes through at least seven periods of youth so that each husband passes from her to death of old age. She has fifty foster-children in Beare, and her grandchildren and great-grandchildren are the people and races of Ireland.

In Irish tales the leprechaun is neither cute nor charming, qualities ascribed to him by Albion’s patronizing attitudes toward Hibernia.
