DublinThe Writers...
|
One pub, two
actors, many authors, and all-over body lotion (Jameson's Whiskey)...
the morning introduction to Dublin's writers. |
"It is awfully hard work doing nothing. However, I don't mind hard work where there is no definite object of any kind."- Algernon, act 1. Oscar Wilde's statue reclines languidly atop a rock in Merrion Square, just across the street from his former house. The lesson we learned
from his letters: "When one takes an Irishman to dinner, it had best
be a five-course meal." |

More we found out... Professor Noel Farley and Robert Forster visit the writers' garden at St. Patrick's Cathedral. Each alcove holds a memorial of a famous Irish author, poet, or playwrite. Some we knew, some we didn't, some we thought were English.
