SNOWDROPS Do you know what I was, how I lived? You know what despair is; then winter should have meaning for you. I did not expect to survive, earth suppressing me. I didn't expect to waken again, to feel in damp earth my body able to respond again, remembering after so long how to open again in the cold light of earliest spring— afraid, yes, but among you again crying yes risk joy in the raw wind of the new world.
after so long how to open again in the cold light
of earliest spring—
Louise Glück

'Evening, Killarney.' (1941) Speaking to an art critic in the 1930s, Paul Henry said: 'What always strikes me about the Irish landscape is its otherworldliness. There's an air of mystery about it ... you feel that anything may happen round the corner.'

The Curragh.' (1914) This painting by Irish artist Paul Henry is full of drama, accentuated by the use of a high horizon and tall waves as if to remind us of the danger facing the crew of this small boat. It brings home the harsh life of the islanders on Achill off County Mayo.
Congratulations, Doreen! 💐💐💐
