Quotes

He enjoyed the mountains of Ireland and loved the Slieve Blooms, writing about them engagingly: "There is magic in this region, whether it be the magic of the full blaze of summer's colour, the wistful wizardry of the subdued but unforgettable and endearing tints of autumn, the sterner browns and deeper greens of winter, or the fragile promise of delicate loveliness that comes in early spring, when every small mountain tree decks itself like a bride and wild birds begin to send their hopeful songs across the great solitude of the boglands. Get you to the Slieve Blooms at any season and see whether I have spoken truth."
