Excerpt from The Glamour of Dublin
RE ever Helen brought down the Eastern world for the sake of the captive tears she shed, before Plato grew wise or Hannibal marched away, there were tales of Troy and Tyre and Carthage here. And often there was a flutter over the water and a shake of the stepping-stones by Whit worth Bridge as a pilgrim or a bandit, or an envoy or some runaway sailor out of a ship from Sidon crossed to take the Tara road. For you will hear of Firbolgs and Fomorians, and Tuatha de Danaans, and Milesians and Phoenicians; some of them arrived not long after the Flood. And, for certain, they were smelting gold already in the forests east of the lieey about izoo b.c. Close by this Dublin, auriferous now in the gold of the spirit as who that dwells herein must know. To all then who cherish a care or a curiosity for the story of the town I offer this book ofcolours. It is pictorial, and it is as true as it may be; since truth without colour is but conceit of infallibility or the dull light of a barren mind. Enter, at once, then reader to your gallery of words.
