A great hurling game is as irrational as great music. It is mad with its own intoxicating loveliness. It is the reproduction of what the senses perceive in nature through the veil of the Gaelic soul. Like a piece of art or a beautiful song, hurling produces its essential effects. If you do not feel it, no one, by reasoning, can make you feel it and if it be true that music is the greatest good that mortals know and all of heaven we have below, I take the greatest pleasure in dedicating this collection of songs to all those who love and promote the game of hurling.
