"What's in a name? that which we call a rose, Under another name," &c. Y a person of ordinary experience Shakespeare's immortal question is easily answered; but in my simple mind it causes as much thought and perplexity as one embodying the most profound philosophy. For had our shoulders not been burthened with that heavy human incubus, an old family Name, we could have taken the goods the gods provided and been happy. It was our Name, and our Name only, which caused consternation in our family, and constantly interfered with our enjoyment of the pleasures of the world. "O'Mara" does not sound very tremendous, not at all calculated to cause a moral earthquake or a social revolution. Yet beneath that plain and unvarnished surface was hidden an explosive mine which was perhaps unperceived by the common gaze, but the thought of which, alas! weighed so heavily upon our unlucky consciences that we sometimes wished we could escape from its thraldom. We--nay, / was free; and although Kathleen was wont to shake her head and pity my misfortune, I personally clasped my hands in reverent gratitude to my forefathers, through whose mercy I was born an ordinary mortal. I had no honour to support. The good deeds of my forefathers--if they ever did any!--were effectually concealed from the light, and I was allowed to enjoy my life in peace. The only pretension to greatness which I could possibly have was my cousinship to the O'Maras, and this link was so slight as to have little effect upon my character. Kathleen was of a different mould, and born in a different sphere. Her name was her Fetish, as it were; she prized it beyond the common riches of this mortal life, she revered it, honoured it, lived for it, hugged it and kissed it....

Download or read book Ireland s Queen Maeve written by Tom O Connor and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2013-05-23 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Medieval and modern myths accrued to Ireland's Iron Age Queen Maeve (Medb), notably in Rosalind Clark's 'The Great Queens', led to this redemption of Medb's true identity. Clark alone showcased the divine elements and tragic qualities on which the greatness of the medieval 'Tain Bo Cuailnge' rested, enabling us to fully appreciate Ireland's greatest national epic. Nevertheless, a seismic shift had taken place in the retelling of Medb's story which elevated the 'Tain Bo Cuailnge' to the level of a Greek-style Odyssey. Medb's archaic history was deliberately suppressed as she underwent gross character assassination. Her true pristine identity is finally recovered here. "O Connor's research and photographs are unprecedented in any account of Irish history. This scholarly work is real Irish History - not the romantic myth of Gaelic High Kings of Ireland based at Tara. It should be compulsory reading for any student of Irish history" (Amazon.com Kindle book review). "This book is not only of Irish significance, for its revelations should result in a reinterpretation of prehistoric and early historic Europe. Academics and experts in archaeological, nomenclature and allied fields must study what can only be a very important discovery. I await their interpretations of its findings with excited anticipation" (Hugh W.L. Weir, historian and publisher, Ballinakella Press, Whitegate, Co. Clare, Ireland). "What can I say! This has to be the most informative work on early Ireland. I have a burning desire to learn about the people I descend from. All has been explained and expanded on to such a degree with accuracy that many other history books seem to be guesswork and fairy tales. What a great book!" (Michael Geraghty, Victoria, Australia). "Extremely interesting! This book's Flickr and Web sites (www.handofhistory.com ) are awesome and explain a lot" (Steve Cavanagh, Death Valley, California, USA).
