The key to Dublin, as to many great cities, is its river and estuary. For trade comes with a river and a port with the sea. Gods of commerce and industry preside over Dublin's river at the Custom House, ships nudge their way to the traffic-lined quays, warehouses crowd on domestic dwellings.
The river conditions the geographic consciousness of Dubliners. North and South of the river are metaphysical distinctions. Streets have tops and bottoms. Tell a visitor you'll meet him at the top of O'Connell Street and he'll get lost. A Dubliner, without sensing why, will know exactly what you mean. It's all based on the river.
