And now for....THE SCHOLARS!
Jonathan Swift -1667 -1745 Remember Gulliver's Travels? |
W,B. Yeats 1865-1939 |
How I love his poems, Lake Isle of Innisfree and The Stolen Child!
Oscar Wilde - 1854-1900 He wrote my favorite giant story ever- The Selfish Giant. |
C.S. Lewis - 1898-1963
Thank you, Mr. Lewis, for the wonder of Narnia and Aslan!
|
Seamus Heaney -1939-2013 The beloved Nobel Laureate whose last words were "Noli Timere" (Latin for Do not be afraid!) - which is really what all great stories tell us - that GOOD will triumph - and so, we do not need to fear! And we have St. Patrick to thank for all these learned and beloved Irish scholars! |
