Our first President came up with some good quotes too!

Posted on January 18, 2015 by Siobhan McNamara

The first President of Ireland. Douglas Hyde was born on this day January 17 in 1860. This is one of my favourite quotes, a truth of which I am constantly reminded.

“Every crag and gnarled tree and lonely valley has its own strange and graceful legend attached to it.” (Douglas Hyde)

    A country steeped in myth & legend, where the landscape bleeds into dreamscape, and archetypes and metaphor roll like wagon wheels along the roads. 🙂
