Colleagues
Apologies for using this list as the ultimate "Ask a Librarian", but I have
a query in a subject outside my area of expertise, and wonder if anyone
could help?
I am trying to track down the origin of a quotation, apparently used by the
architect Baillie Scott in relation to a house called Green Place which he
built in Hampshire:
"And it came to pass, upon a day of days, that they were in a green place,
and they were in the sun and out of the wind, and they were near their
friends and far from foes, and they could see everyone and no one could see
them."
and which may be from a Celtic fairy tale. I had a lead linking the quote
to Ossian, but a search of MacPherson's Poems of Ossian via Intute did not
turn it up.
Many thanks
Barbara
