Die Geister des Sees. Dumpf rauschts vom hohen Wogenstrand Ans steile Felsengestade, Und grau wie der Geister wehend Gewand Webt dichter Nebel sich übers Land, Und hüllt die dämmernden Pfade. Die herbstlichen Lüfte säuseln, Es steigt in leisen Kräuseln Die blaue Welle des Sees, Aus Wolken die Sterne blinken, Und langsam wogen und sinken Die Silberflocken des Schnees. from Musen-Almanach 1799, signed F** - author is Amalie von Imhoff, after marriage known as Amalie von Helvig.

Enchanted lake with mist & snow - Ossianic mood.
Musen-Almanach 1799.
Autumn is dark on the mountains ; gray mist rests on the hills. The whirlwind is heard on the heath. Dark rolls the river through the narrow plain. A tree stands alone on the hill, and marks the slumbering Connal. The leaves whirl round with the wind, and strew the grave of the dead. At times are seen here the ghosts of the deceased, when the musing hunter alone stalks slowly over the heath. from 'Carric-Thura - a poem' in ´Fingal: an Ancient Epic Poem, in Six Books; together with several other Poems, composed by Ossian, the son of Fingal; translated from the Galic language by James Macpherson´ (1762) Source: https://digital.nls.uk/77447271

An invented antiquity, transparent forgery in spite of all gray mist & darkness, as antecedent to the romantic lands: by an ironic ruse, the lonely hunter conjures up the ghosts from a heroic past.

"all Macpherson's craft as a philological impostor would have been nothing without his literary skill."

An interesting exchange today with a man in Steòrnabhagh, talking about the Fianna. He mentioned Oisean still being a first name in Lewis, and Osgar being used not as a first name but as a nickname. He was not sure why, though it may have been due to the man's strength. #fionnfolkloreproject #ossian
Béaloideas-ception (how old is that joke?) is when we at the database collect lays from people who collected lays from seanchaidhean about St Patrick collecting lays from Ossian. Now that’s folklore collection for you.

Saint Patrick’s most challenging conversion was likely Oisín/Oisean, the most stubborn of his friends. Beannachtaí na Féile Pádraig oraibh!

Harvey's painting 'Malvina pleure la mort de son cher Oscar' (1806): There are four women in front of a landscape, one of them sitting on a rock in a white dress in a melancholy pose, two of them with a harp, one with bow and arrow. Next to the women are two dogs, a castle and an island with a rock formation in the background.
A woman standing in the Salon Doré of the Château de Malmaison, looking at Girodets painting 'Apotheosis of French Heroes Who Died for Their Country during the War of Liberty' (c. 1800) & Gérard’s picture 'Ossian Evoking Ghosts with His Harp on the Banks of the Lora'.
OSSIAN CRAZE IN FRANCE: I finally had the pleasure to view the Ossianic paintings by Elizabeth Harvey, Anne-Louis Girodet & François Gérard. The latter were commissioned for the Château de Malmaison by Napoleon, where they can still be seen today.

“Foggy winters, frosty springs, dull summers, and sunny autumns” (Database ID:36). Those are the seasons of the time of the Fianna according to Ossian. Let us see how it compares to 2025! fionnfolklore.org#/lays/sdf

Poster for an exhibition about Ossian, at the Grand Palais, Paris, 1974. It shows the imaginary bard at his harp, with a shadowy castle, a turbulent sky, a pair of entwined lovers, a group of airborne muses, and figures of ancient bards behind and above him. The image is a detail from a painting, 1801, by François Gérard.
Did someone* mention Ossian?
Here's a poster for an exhibition about him, held at the Grand Palais, Paris, in 1974.
Image: detail of "Ossian Evoking Ghosts on the Edge of the Lora," 1801, by François Gérard (1770-1837).
