The aisling (Irish for “Dream” and pronounced “ashling”) was developed in Ireland after the 17th century. The aisling is characterized by the poet reciting the tale of having a vision of Ireland in the form of a woman. She can be old or young, beautiful or haggard. This woman is referred to in the poems as a speirbhean (sky-woman). |
