PFUNDTNER, Waupaca, WI: My youngest son and I recently returned home from a long-awaited trip of ten days in Ireland. It was all we had been looking forward to and much more. We would return in a minute. While we were there, we enjoyed many delicious meals. As strange as it may seem, we both remarked how delicious the Irish butter was. We couldn't figure out how it coul

3. Quakers and the Famine (1847) -- Relief w/Emphasis on Long-Term Projects [1]
SNIPPET: "In the summer of 1847 there was a major change of direction in the type of relief offered by the Quaker committees. The emphasis on grants of food and clothing was greatly reduced in favour of longer term means of assistance. There were many reasons for this. First, there was a change in the type of relief offered by the government: soup kitchens were established by the poor law unions to feed the destitute without admitting them to the poor house. The Quakers recognised that there was going

6. Dress in Ireland - Late 17th century to 20th century - Irish coat, Kinsale cloak, Irish shawl. [1]
Per Mairead DUNLEVY, "Dress in Ireland" (1989) -- "The coat as an outer garment is generally seen as having evolved in the late 17th century as the long coat for men in the French and English courts. The real origins of the 'Irish coat,' however, more probably lay in the medieval gowns that artists such as Brueghel show as having been used generally by the less well off in Europe in the late 16th century. The fabric was measured through wrapping around the wearer's body and then cut to size. The arms wer

Antrim: "As in the case of Liverpool, Glasgow and other great ports, the growth of Belfast has been both recent and rapid. The references to it in the early records are brief and slight; in fact, its history is said to begin about 1612, when Sir Arthur CHICHESTER, ancestor of the present Donegal family, received from Charles I a charter f
8. John Boyle O'REILLY (b. 1844 Drogheda, Louth) - Bio. & "A White Rose" [1]
A WHITE ROSE The red rose whispers of passion, And the white rose breathes of love; Oh, the red rose is a falcon, And the white rose is a dove. But I send you a cream-white rosebud, With a flush on its petal tips; For the love that is purest and sweetest Has a kiss of desire on the lips. -- John Boyle O'Reilly (1844-1890) was born in Drogheda (Louth) Ireland. After apprenticing at various newspapers, he became a member of the Fenian Society, a group dedicated to Irish nationalism. Soon after joining, O'R

10. "Gentle Annie Ballad" - Stephen Collins FOSTER (1826-1864) - b. PA, w/Co. Derry, IRE roots [1]
GENTLE ANNIE BALLAD Thou will come no more, gentle Annie, Like a flower thy spirit did depart Thou art gone, alas! like the many That have bloomed in the summer of my heart Chorus: Shall we never more behold thee; Never hear thy winning voice again When the Springtime comes, gentle Annie When the wild flowers are scattered o'er the plain? We have roamed and loved mid the bowers When thy downy cheeks were in their bloom; Now I stand alone mid the flowers When they mingle their perfume o'er thy tomb. C

One land, too, they can show courage when it is called forth and sustained by the consciousness of right. A few years ago they completely routed a considerable body of dragoons, by casting showers of heavy stones from their slings. By the

While the project was considered to be worthwhile and machinery was found for the task, at a late state the committee shied aw
14. "White Hawthorn In the West of Ireland" -- Ms. Eavan BOLAND (b. Dublin 1944) [1]
WHITE HAWTHORN IN THE WEST OF IRELAND I drove west in the season between seasons. I left behind suburban gardens. Lawmowers. Small talk. Under low skies, past splashes of coltsfoot I assumed the hard shyness of Atlantic light and the superstitious aura of hawthorn. All I wanted then was to fill my arms with sharp flowers, to seem, from a distance, to be part of that ivory, downhill rush. But I knew, I had always known the custom was not to touch hawthorn. Not to bring it indoors for the sake of the l

SNIPPET: Voices of Tinkers: "Well, now I don't gossip about no one just in case the wind is shifty like a weasel or the lake is round like a hollow ear. My ears burn never 'cause to tell you the truth if you know what I mean I like being respected." "I see no harm in letting the children do for themselves with a little bit of education, but if it's all the same to you, they gets a fair amount of that at home with all they have to do -- shouting for the horses in the morning and calling for their dogs i
17. Co. Laois (Queen's Co.) - A French Refuge [1]
Per "Irish Counties," by J. J. Lee: The town of Portarlington, which lies on a bend in the River Barrow not far from the border with neighboring Co. Offaly (King's Co.), is now a quiet backwater of Co. Laois. Co. Laois is also known as Queen's Co. and Leix . In the last paragraph below, is mentioned the survival of Portarlington's church records.

18. "Ass In Retirement" - C.l DAY-LEWIS - Anglo-Irish poet laureate England b. Queen's Co. (Laois) Ireland [1]
ASS IN RETIREMENT Ass orbits a firm stake: each circle round the last one is stamped slow and unmomentous like a tree-trunk's annual rings. He does not fancy himself as a tragedian, a circumference mystic or a treadmill hero, nor takes he pride in his grey humility. He is just one more Irish ass eating his way round the clock, keeping pace with his own appetite. Put out to grass, given a yard more rope each week, he takes time off from what's under his nose only to bray at rain-clouds over the distant bo
19. "Blessed" Edmund RICE (Kilkenny & Waterford) - Honored for founding the Christian Brothers and Presentation Brothers [1]
SNIPPET: Edmund RICE, born in Callan, Co. Kilkenny, Ireland, 1762, is credited with founding two teaching religious orders, the Christian Brother and the Presentation Brothers, and their schools are to be found all over the world. His father farmed 182 acres and their long, low, thatched room cottage was typical of the "strong farmer class," with four bedrooms, a parlour, a kitchen and a small hall. Though the walls were made of mud, it has survived in a remarkable state of preservation right down to the p
20. Warren O'CONNELL (b. Dublin city 1924) -- "Couch Potato" [1]
COUCH POTATO As gluttons overeat I overview And when I ply my electronic wand The coloured images go drifting through My mind like shadows on a stagnant pond Out of the world into my living room Come drama, news and fine photography Blowsy and bored and blanketed in gloom I watch in satiated apathy. For me each image coming into sight Obliterates the one that went before So I go nodding on from night to night Letting a miracle become a bore. Yet, if I only made my viewing wise, This couch potato had a t
21. Dress in Ireland - Earliest Times [1]
SNIPPET: "A sandstone weight of spindle-whorl form, found in Ballyalton, Co. Down, suggests that, from neolithic time, wool was spun and woven in Ireland. The earliest clothing fragments extant are pieces of woollen cloth of about 1000 BC found in Killymoon, Co. Tyrone, in 1995, and wool cloth and a horsehair belt found in Cromagh, Co. Antrim, in 1904 and dated to about 750 BC. These pieces show that in the late Bronze Age vertical weighted looms, as well as looms for braid, were in use to weave fabrics

23. "The Pitchfork" -- Seamus HEANEY (b. Derry 1939) [1]
THE PITCHFORK Of all implements, the pitchfork was the one That came near to an imagined perfection; When he tightened his raised hand and aimed with it, It felt like a javelin, accurate and light. So whether he played the warrior or the athlete Or worked in earnest in the chaff and sweat, He loved its grain of tapering, dark-flecked ash Grown satiny from its own natural polish. Riveted steel, turned timber, burnish, grain, Smoothness, straightness, roundness, length and sheen. Sweat-cured, sharpened, ba
24. "Windharp" - John MONTAGUE, b. 1929 Brooklyn, NY>>Co. Tyrone [1]
WINDHARP The sounds of Ireland, that restless whispering you never get away from, seeping out of low bushes and grass, heatherbells and fern, wrinkling bog pools, scraping tree branches, light hunting cloud, sound hounding sight, a hand ceaselessly combing and stroking the landscape, till the valley gleams like the pile upon a mountain pony's coat.. -- John Montague, born Brooklyn, NY, 1929, brought up in Garvaghey, Co. Tyrone, since early 1970s Cork has been his home.
