Dáibhí Ó Bruadair
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dáibhí Ó Bruadair (1625 – January 1698) was a 17th-century Irish language poet. He lived through a period of change in Irish history, and his work reflects the demise of the old Irish cultural and political order and the decline in position of poets in Irish society. His ode, D'Aithle Na bhFileadh ("The High Poets are Gone"), written upon the death of a fellow poet, laments this decline and reflects that Ireland was now a far less educated place due to it.
