We argue from the beauty of creation to a cause. The mystic is able to appreciate it and capture it. Joseph Maiy Plunkett, who was influenced by St. John of the Cross and other writers, was veiy much a mystical poet. He had a unique sensitivity and vision of existence. Such a work is, 'I See His Blood Upon the Rose'. The power of his poem lies in its simplicity and its facility in establishing the relationship of the world around us and the world within us. I see his blood upon the rose And in the stars the glory of his eyes, His body gleams amid eternal snows, Beauty pleases the eye and refreshes the soul and His tears fall from the skies. we all long for the ultimate beauty of God. Albert Einstein once commented, "The most beautiful I see his face in every flower; thing we can experience is a sense of the The thunder and the singing of the birds mysterious; it is the source of all art and science and Are but his voice and carven by his power also the travelling companion of our faith." Rocks are his written words. There is the mystic in all of us which is aware of the complexity of creation, and its relationship to All pathways by his feet are worn, the nature of God and ourselves. The mystic His strong heart stirs the ever-beating sea, explores these relationships. Nature can serve as a His crown of thorns is twined with every thorn, classroom where we can learn to understand His cross is every tree. ourselves, others and God.

In the vast and problematic historiography of the 1798 Rebellion, County Wicklow has been relatively neglected. In the aftermath of the rising it was Wexford which caught the imagination of historians from a diverse range of political opinions, who sought to graft their interpretations to the events in the cockpit of the insurrection.

  • MICHAEL DWYER Papers, 1838-1905 Reel M603
    AUSTRALIAN JOINT COPYING PROJECT MICHAEL DWYER Papers, 1838-1905 Reel M603 National Library of Ireland Kildare Street Dublin 2 Ireland National Library of Australia State Library of New South Wales Filmed: 1966 BIOGRAPHICAL NOTES Michael Dwyer (1772?-1825) was born at Camera, County Wicklow, and worked as an ostler and farm hand. In 1897 he joined the Society of United Irishmen and when rebellion broke out in Wicklow in 1898 he was one of the militants. In 1803 he supported the attempted coup d’etat of Robert Emmet. With his whole family facing transportation, Dwyer surrendered in December 1803, was gaoled, and in 1805 was transported to New South Wales as an unsentenced exile. He arrived in the colony in February 1806 and was granted 100 acres facing Cabramatta Creek. In 1807 he was arrested and tried for sedition and sent to Norfolk Island and later Van Diemen’s Land. He returned to New South Wales in 1809 and subsequently became constable of the Georges River district. In 1820 he was briefly chief constable of Liverpool. In 1898 Dwyer’s body was exhumed and, in the presence of tens of thousands of Irish-Australians, he was buried in Waverley Cemetery in Sydney. Luke Cullen (1793-1859) was a seaman before joining the Third Order of Discalced Carmelites in 1838. He was a free school teacher at the monastery of Mount St Joseph at Clondalkin, near Dublin. Brother Cullen spent much of his later years travelling round the Wexford-Wicklow border area collecting the memoirs of survivors of the 1798 Rebellion.

The medallion portraits within a Celtic decorated border and the landscape portrait of De Valera is against a draped tricolour and sunburst. Framed. 30.5 x 30.5cm. In August 1921, de Valera secured Dáil Éireann approval to change the 1919 Dáil Con- stitution to upgrade his office from prime minister or chairman of the cabinet to a full President of the Republic. Declaring himself now the Irish equivalent of King George V, he argued that as Irish head of state, in the absence of the British head of state from the negotiations, he too should not attend the Treaty Negotiations at which British and Irish government leaders agreed to the effective independence of twenty-six of Ireland’s thirty-two counties as the Irish Free State, with Northern Ireland choosing to remain under British sovereignty. It is generally agreed by historians that whatever his motives, it was a mistake for de Valera not to have travelled to London. Lot 31 A rare and interesting item.

  • Geary, Laurence M
    A monument 'where pilgrims may worship and patriotism be renewed' - the sacral nationalism of the Australian '98 centenary JONATHAN M. WOODING On 9 January 1886, in the Nation, Katherine Tynan published a poem entitled 'The Grave of Michael Dwyer'. A sprig of fern inspired a vision of Dwyer's tomb, which in her mind's eye was set against the backdrop of the Wicklow Mountains: I wish you slept where your kin are sleeping - The dove-gray valley is sweet; and the holy mountains their strange watch keeping Would love you lying still at their feet, The dewy grass for your winding sheet. The poem had many admirers, including Yeats. The grave of the 1798 'Wicklow Chief' Dwyer was not, however, in Wicklow, or even Ireland. He had died in New South Wales, far from his native mountains, and by 1886 his life was essentially out- side living memory in Ireland and Australia - though some in Sydney would have remembered his widow Mary; who had died only in j86o.2 His place of burial had not been lost; it lay clearly marked in the 'Sandhills' cemetery in Sydney and in the same year as the appearance ofTPynan's poem pilgrims marched to Dwyer's tomb. This type of ritual of rebel 'decoration' was becoming increasingly common in Ireland and the leader of the pilgrimage made specific comparison of the event i WB. Yeats to K. Tynan, May s888, in J. Kelly with E. Domville (eds), The Collected Letters of W.B.

  • Murray the Man. to All Intents and Purposes James
    21 Chapter Two 'I felt encouraged and consoled beyond measure'1: Murray the Man. To all intents and purposes James Murray was an only child. His origins lay in Co. Wicklow on Ireland's east coast directly to the south of Dublin. Named after its principal town, the county stretches 40 miles north to south and 33 miles from east to west. It has three distinct regions: the low lying strip along the east coast, the mountains and valleys of the centre and west and the southern less mountainous area. The largest topographical area in the county is the central western region of mountains, rivers, lakes and valleys. The rugged beauty of these uplands and the contrasting lowlands have contributed to Wicklow's name, the 'Garden of Ireland'. The mountain range is intersected diagonally by a number of great glens most notably Glendalough, Glenmalure and the Glen of Imaal. It is in these highlands and their lakes that some of the most renowned rivers in the county rise. The Kings River joins the Liffey in the north at Blessington Lakes while in the south at the Meeting of the Waters, the Avonmore and Avonbeg form the Avoca, a place of celebrated romantic beauty. 2 When trying to describe his new home and country to friends in Ireland, Murray aptly likened the Paterson River near Maitland to the Vale of Avoca, which lay on the road between Glendalough and Arklow .3 The mountains of Wicklow have harboured men and women of vastly divergent interests. During the middle ages ascetics and hermits found spiritual fulfilment in the caves and glens of the mountains.

  • Robert Emmet Trinity Monday Discourse
    Robert Emmet Trinity Monday Discourse Distinguished guests, Provost; Fellows, Scholars and Colleagues. Trinity College Dublin figured large in Robert Emmet’s career – in his life and in his death. At the opening of his trial for high treason on the 19th of September 1803, Emmet was reminded by the presiding judge that he had been educated ‘at a most virtuous and enlightened seminary of learning and amidst the greatest youth of the country’. The judge, Lord Norbury, was chastising Emmet for having squandered the education he had received within these walls – and Norbury was all the more self- righteous because he himself had graduated from Trinity, albeit with a less than distinguished academic record. There were more Trinity connections in the courtroom that day. The chief prosecutor was William Plunket, a friend of Emmet’s older brother Thomas, from their time in Trinity, but from that day a friend no longer. Peter Burrowes, the defence counsel, had been a less that diligent classmate. He was notorious among the college fraternity for having walked 45-miles to Portarlington for a masked ball one evening – and then for dancing the night away. And finally, members of the yeomanry who guarded Robert Emmet, while he stood chained in the dock, were former classmates who abhorred his treason. After his death, another classmate of a more sympathetic persuasion would immortalise him in verse. Thomas Moore ensured that Emmet’s name would not be allowed to ‘sleep in the shade, where cold and unhonoured his relics are laid’. Indeed Moore, a year behind Emmet in Trinity, would become his chief mythologiser in the years ahead, familiarising his name across the English-speaking world.

  • INTRODUCTION Fenianism Is Not by Any Means a Plant Likely to Take Root
    INTRODUCTION Fenianism is not by any means a plant likely to take root, much less to flourish in Australian soil... Melbourne Age, 14 August 1868 Among the poorer and most ignorant of Irish Romas Catholics in Victoria a feeling of sympathy with the Fenian movement is widespread... Police Superintendent C.H. Nicholson, 9 March 18681 For almost two hundred years British imperial hegemony has been steadily disintegrating in Australia. In the same period a sense of Australian national identity has been emerging: shaped by the land itself, its great distance from the British Isles, and by conflicting cultural pressures in matters racial, religious, socio-economic and political, arising from a mixed population. Prior to the heavy European and Asian immigration after World War II, the three principal cultures in Australia after 1788 were Aboriginal, 2 British and Irish-Catholic; and to this day the Irish are second only to the English component of 140 ethnic groups living in Australia. In the years focussed upon in this study, Irish Catholics comprised at least a quarter of the population of nearly all Australian colonies. Given the circumstances of British rule in Ireland, it was virtually inevitable that this high proportion of Irish convicts and free settlers in Australia would provide a key influence in the emergence of a distinctive Australian ethos, in much the same way that they influenced American nationalism in the United States. But was Irish national sentiment as strong in (1) Report, Fenianism 1868-9, CSO Supplementary Police Box 10, VPRO. (2) Throughout this thesis I arbitarily use British to mean of predominA:tly English, Scottish, Welsh or Ulster-Protestant descent, and Irish to mean, if not otherwise qualified, those who readily identified with Gaelic traditions and considered themselves to be Irish nationalists.

  • Robert Emmet, by Dion Boucicault, 1884
    1 Robert Emmet, by Dion Boucicault, 1884. A Drama in Four Acts Entitled Robert Emmet A faithful history of a young Irish gentleman who sought the fat of those enthusiasts destined to bear upward and onward “the banner with the strange device.” The first appearance of Robert Emmet before the world was on July 23rd, in the year 1803. He lived for 69 days. His career was completed within that period. He died on September 20th, aged 26. We possess records of what took place during those sixty-nine days. His private correspondences, his adventures, his speeches, his conversations with friends, have been preserved. I have read them all. This play is simply composed of the incidents that occurred during this brief but eventual period, nothing added, but what is necessary to shape the matter into a perspicuous and dramatic form. The characters are untouched photographs of the originals. The language, especially that of Emmet, has been as far as possible preserved, and the sentiments put into his mouth are ascribed to him by those who know him well. It all happened so recently that we seem to reach him with our lives. My father, S. Boucicault, of Bachelor’s Walk, Dublin, was one of his associates, and the house in which twenty years afterwards I was born, was amongst many others, searched for the fugitive rebel. The severest judges of Robert Emmet, those who condemned his objects and abhorred his political aims and principles, have testified freely to the purity of his motives and to the heroic romance of his character.
