voice production to that used in the recitation of Fenian lays and of Greek epic. I expect [Seamus] Heaney understood the otherworldly trajectory of the poet in Gaelic culture. It is no surprise that MacLean encounters his co-choisiche, or double, in the wilderness of the Cuillin, on whose inhospitable peaks the tree of his creativity flourishes. He also has a sexualized relationship with nature springing entirely from the Gaelic conceptualisation of human society and nature.
