T YIELD to no man in my ignorance of party politics, for which excellent reason I claim a special value for my political opinions, due to my startling Irish discovery that opinion has some relation to truth, an innovation as daring as it is true, which has made me famous all over Ireland, with my name in the categories of distinguished men, my purse inflated to the noblest standards of virtue rewarded, and the very princes of the Church taking a particular interest in my immortality, which affords me the peace and security of spirit to exploit the utmost profit of cheap fame. If Ireland enables a man to achieve all this by sheer ignorance, what may we not achieve by knowledge? Truly, "there is no land like Ireland anywhere at all" for the profitable originality of the obvious, and I wonder gentlemen of Fleet Street, so much abler than I, do not discover Ireland more often and more thoroughly. I should write this chapter about Irish political opinion, and not about my own, but for the fact that there is no political opinion in Ireland, where everybody is too much a politician to permit political opinion. In the discussion after my lecture in Dublin last spring a speaker gave us a well-established account of a League meeting in the time of the Parnell split, with the two priests of the parish at it, one for Parnell and the other against him. The reverend gentleman against Parnell made a great oration, and then said to the audience, "All of ye agin' Parnell, come to this side of the room ." They all came over. Then the other reverend gentleman made a great oration, and said, "All of ye in favour of Parnell, come back to where ye were ." They all came back. Perdition cancels itself in this way every day everywhere in Ireland, ...
Download or read book The Sorrows written by Randy Lee Eickhoff and published by Forge Books. This book was released on 2011-04-01 with total page 359 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Ulster Cycle continues with The Sorrows, three stories that dramatically portray Ireland's cultural heritage. The first, "The Fate of the Children of Tuirenn," is a tragic tale in which three brothers must pay a blood fine for murdering an enemy of their clan-a reflection of the great sorrow, which is Ireland's Civil War. "The Fate of the Children of Ir" tells of an evil stepmother who transforms her four stepchildren into swans. After nine hundred years they are released from their fate, symbolizing the triumph of Christianity over paganism. "The Fate of the Children of Uisliu" introduces us to Conchobor, the Red Branch King, as he forces the young yet strong-willed Deidre to be his wife-just as England sought to force the Irish into servitude. Filled with adventure and tragedy, The Sorrows provides another insightful look into Ireland's past through three of her most enduring tales. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.
Download or read book Deirdre of the Sorrows written by Kenneth Steven and published by Casemate Publishers. This book was released on 2017-05-11 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A sequence of poetry based on the tragic, ancient Irish legend, from the author of Out of the Ordinary and Iona. The story of Deirdre of the Sorrows is widely known in Ireland, yet all but forgotten across the water in Scotland. This great tragic love story, which has its roots in the ninth or tenth century, is very much shared by both countries. For Deirdre, according to the legend, fled with her lover Naoise to Argyll. The oldest song in Scotland is believed to be Deirdre’s haunting farewell to her adopted land as she returns once more to Ireland. In this new sequence, Deirdre of the Sorrows, Kenneth Steven beautifully reimagines the legend of this love story; he brings back to life Deirdre’s journey and attempts to capture its timeless power. “Steven tells his interpretation with a poet’s ear for telling phrasing, and a reporter’s eagerness for pace and development. There is also a great sense of place in his epic, and a brooding melancholy threaded through the initial triumph of love. Steven here writes with the music of his mother’s singing of a tale of beauty and loss, ancient and yet resonating among our contemporary uncertainties.” —Church Times (UK)
