Irish Hurst: Bad Poetry about Bad Art

http://irishhurst.blogspot.com/2013/03/bad-poetry-about-bad-art.html

Friday, March 15, 2013. Bad Poetry about Bad Art. There are four copies of this oversized print in my townhouse. Two are in the same room. That Red Branch King upon my wall. Knows not of Danaan rhymes at all;. His constancy, his lack of will,. Are fumbles in a greasy till,. A flameless sword unless he act,. And I have no deep core for that. And yet I swear he’s stalking me,. That blood-dimmed tide of constancy,. My stone in kitchen, bed, and hall,. He utters not a thing at all. The Pot-Luck of the Irish.

Irish Hurst: The Good are Always the Merry

http://irishhurst.blogspot.com/2013/03/the-good-are-always-merry.html

Sunday, March 3, 2013. The Good are Always the Merry. The final stanzas of “The Fiddler of Dooney” by Yeats are as follows:. When we come at the end of time,. To Peter sitting in state,. He will smile on the three old spirits,. But call me first through the gate;. For the good are always the merry,. Save by an evil chance,. And the merry love the fiddle. And the merry love to dance:. And when the folk there spy me,. They will all come up to me,. With ‘Here is the fiddler of Dooney! Rainy Days and Fridays.

Irish Hurst: You Been Schooled

http://irishhurst.blogspot.com/2013/03/you-been-schooled.html

Tuesday, March 12, 2013. In Yeats’ “Among School Children” he begins the poem with the line “I walk through the long schoolroom questioning.”. It is a great opening line, and while this poem isn’t one that we are reading this term in Ireland, it is certainly one of the many Yeats poems that I wish we had time to read. It is interesting on a number of levels. Certainly it seems that all young children, school children, come to school with questions aplenty, as well as the desire to ask questions. Yet as t...

http://irishhurst.blogspot.com/2013/03/happy-birthday-dad.html

Monday, March 4, 2013. It is early morning in Dungarvan, 6:00 am, and I am having toast and coffee. Both bread and beverage are wonderful in Ireland. The brown bread, flat bread, rolls, and scones are all fresh, rich, and hearty. The juice and milk seem richer as well. The coffee is strong. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Sunday, March 24, 2013. Lismore, Ardmore, and more. 65279;. 65279;  Seamus Heaney’s “In Gallarus Oratory” is one of my favorite poems in the collection we are reading. The last stanza is a follows:.

And how he smiled on them as out they came,. The sea a censer, and the grass a flame. St Mary's Collegiate Church Youghal.
