What is Ireland noted for all over the world? No, besides beer or whiskey. No, besides crystal or lace. No, besides rugby and hurling. I'm talkin' about poets and writers. The gift of the spoken, sung or written word. Not just the blarney, though we know they all have that, but the beautiful turn of a phrase - the exquisite use of the language.
From such a small island, we have so many. Here are a few. If you don't know them, search out their work. It will make your day.
W. B. Yeats
James Joyce
Oscar Wilde
C.S. Lewis
Samuel Beckett
Johnathon Swift
Shane Patrick Lysaght MacGowan
Tell me, is there just one you don't recognize? the last? With a name like that, he had to be good. Check him out.
