    Church of the Four Beautiful Ones

    “St Fursey, Brendan of Birr, Conal and Bearchan are the 4 saints in question

    The Church is 11-12C with modifications but their graves (and a 5th) are said to lie just outside the church behind the altar. There is also a Holy Well to which healings are attributed.”

    Also ‘Teampall an Ceathrar Álainn’
    The adjacent Well of the four beauties was the inspiration for Synge’s Well of the Saints

    TIMMY.
    Did ever you hear tell of a place across a bit of the sea, where there is an island, and the grave of the four beautiful saints?

    I’ve heard people have walked round from the west and they speaking of that.

    TIMMY.
    [impressively.] — There’s a green ferny well, I’m told, behind of that place, and if you put a drop of the water out of it on the eyes of a blind man, you’ll make him see as well as any person is walking the world.

    MARTIN DOUL.
    [with excitement.] — Is that the truth, Timmy? I’m thinking you’re telling a lie.

    TIMMY.
    [gruffly.] — That’s the truth, Martin Doul, and you may believe it now, for you’re after believing a power of things weren’t as likely at all. ... ...

    "THE WELL OF THE SAINTS was first produced in the Abbey Theatre in February, 1905, by the Irish National Theatre Society."

    The catalogue says "Sea, hills in background, small wooded promontory in middleground, high angle on small jetty, row boats in foreground", but I don't see any sign of tides, I think this is a lake.

    The path at left looks suspiciously well laid out and surfaced - we may be in the grounds of a big house or demesne.
  • TJ said:
    is this supposed to be a stereogram (or graph)? Am I allowed to download the pic and convert it into an anaglyph?
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
