But now, the Barrow; that's qllite c1iff~rent. She flows slow! J, like a shining snake, through rich land. She takes her time.

I see it ?s a mountain-stream above Baltinglass -<>ne of the most picturesque villages in Leinster. Then at Tullow I remember one heavenly day on a particular part f)f the laney, where it seemed to lose its light but not its loveliness under the canopy of overhanging beech and chestnut, dark-fronted, opaque below, bl~t trans parent above where the sun shot through the irridescent green leaves. There was an old mill nearby. A country house that withdrew into the shadows of the trees. If there ever was a lyric poem, of hot summer, and coolness, and shade, and silence broken only by the falling water and the distant moo of a cow-it was that spot. And then, another colourful town, Enniscorthy, sends the Slaney on its way. A lovely little town.. Hill-up and hill-down. Old time and new time. History matured like wine, and modern industry humming and bustling. And then last of all the great sloh-Iand marshes near the sea at Wexford, where with the October moons the wild geese come whizzing in from the sea, and as you wait for them in the dawn you could imagine your self in the lowlands of Holland.

And it is difficult to find a more enchanting town THE BLACKWATER than Kilkenny-yes, I will say it, in the whole length and breadth of Ireland. Last Summer I han the pleasant BENEATH LISMORE CASTLE task of travelling all around Ireland, with Paul Henry, to gather materials for an Irish travel-book. I shall never forget June in Kilkenny.

The ore made no sound there. It stole by. Trees, thirsty from the heat, hung down to try to tip the cool water. The white Tholsel, which Francis Hackett (wh0 w<).s Dorn here) compares to a tower in a child's fairytal~, rose abovp. the crumpled slates of the honse where the witch Dame Alice Kvtler used brew her devils' drinks. All down to New Ross, where the Three ~ister meet, the Nore is of a nobility only equalled by the Shannon about Foynes where it weds the Fergus. It's not a good river for canoeing. We took the characteristic boat of the Nore and the Suir, called a cott, a flat-bottomed affair with a light draught to scrape over the shallows. Our idle pro cession down to that lyrical village of Ini htiogue is one of my happiest recollections of the Nore. We passed the cave where Freney the highwayman used hide him elf and his loot. Little islands thick with iris, " The Blackwater threads through a land both rich and loosestrife, wild flowers and weecls of every kinn made poor, gay and austere, but always vibrant with memory." the river ripple and arrow. The tide comes up to Inishtiogue and from that down it is grand for canoeing. And then how fortunate the Nore is in having such a from his breakfast and find his car waiting at the kerb town as New Ross for a tail-piece. I remember how to take him where he wills. Paul Henry loved it, and what a grand sketch he made King of Rivers. of the houses peeping over one another's shoulders as Carrick and Clonmel, Caher and Holycross and they climbed the. hill.
