from Creel of Irish Stories
The ef'fect of Letterglas's solitude and verdure somehow seems to be heightened if one notices its single visible sign of human handiwork.
This is a roadtrack, now all but quite grassed over, leading into the valley from its open end, where the Clonmoragh highway passes, and stopping aimlessly at the slope immediately below the Nick, having first flung two or three zigzag loops up the hill side.
A rusteaten, handleless shovel, and the wreck of an overturned wheelbarrow, still mark the point where the work was abandoned on a misty morning in April, more than fifty springs ago but the track itself is now merely a most faint difference of shade in the sward, which has crept back again indefatig ably, even where the austere roadmetal had been thrown clattering down.
