    That's a fabulous exhibition I'll have to save time to go through it but it looks brilliant at first sight! For a 58 year old he looks very frail and elderly. I suspect that if I had used my brain daily as he did I might be more worn out by now as well;-)
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Swordscookie Oh, I think you give your brain plenty of daily exercise! ;)
  • Swordscookie said:
    Perhaps I'll have a look in the mirror so?

    "William Butler Yeats (/jeɪts/ YAYTS; 13 June 1865 – 28 January 1939) was an Irish poet, dramatist, writer and literary critic who was one of the foremost figures of 20th-century literature. He was a driving force behind the Irish Literary Revival and, along with John Millington Synge and Lady Gregory, founded the Abbey Theatre, serving as its chief during its early years. He was awarded the 1923 Nobel Prize in Literature and later served two terms as a Senator of the Irish Free State."

    Well judging by the state of the place, that clock could have said 11:45 for years. Plastered by cowboys maybe?
  • Rienk Mebius said:
    Did the clock run? :-))
  • Rienk Mebius said:
    [http://www.flickr.com/photos/eyelightfilms] Or is it reminders of the "troubles"?
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    P.S. should have said, this collection "consists, for the most part, of topographical views of locations in Cork city and county. Also featured are images of townscapes in Dublin, Ballycastle and Lurgan and places of interest in counties Kerry and Wicklow."

    You are not a nice person. Can I withdraw my proposal of marriage made subject to my wifes approval?
