Excerpt from Storied Halifax: The Warden of the Honour of the North
Straight the eye hath caught new pleasures, While the landscape round it measures.
Haligonians are firmly persuaded in their own minds that nowhere else in the world are sky and' water more deliciously blue than over and about their beloved city. As I have heard with my own ears a true-born Irishman confess that the harbour was bluer than Dublin Bay, perhaps they are not so far wrong.
