(Croagh Patrick Dec 2000)
‘ And presently, from an eminence, I caught sight not only of a fine view, but of the most beautiful view I ever saw in the world, I think; It forms an event in one’s life to have seen that place, so beautiful is it and so unlike all other beauties that I know of. Were such beauties lying upon English shores it would be a world’s wonder’.
William Makepiece Thackery
