Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Ireland and the Irish, Past and Present, Her Tears and Her Smiles: The Bible the Glory of Her Ancient Church and the Cure of Her Present Shame and Suffering I am to discuss a subject, which I hardly know where to begin or where to end, so wide is the field of discussion, and so varied are the productions which grow in that field; here and there fruits and flowers, but, alas! in too many directions foul weeds of sin and its inseparable consequences - misery and neglect. Though most dearly loving the land of my birth and my youth, yet I will not shrink from noticing her faults as well as her misfortunes: indeed these latter only the more deeply move the affectionate sympathies of her children, as for a beloved mother in her distress; as our Irish lyrist has so beautifully apostrophised Erin, "Wert tbou all that I wish thee, great, glorious, and free, First flower of the earth, first gem of the sea, I might hail thee with prouder, with happier brow; But oh! could I love thee more dearly than now? No, thy chains as they rankle thy blood as it runs, But make thee more painfully dear to thy sons, Whose hearts, like the young of the desert birds nest, Drink love in each life-drop that streams from thy breast."
