   Francis Ledwidge, 18871917. As he points out in the liner notes, much ofthis new album is an inspiration by the poetry of Francis Ledwidge.  
   http://wmollon.tripod.com/ledwidge.html
   
   Extractions: Michael has created a masterpiece in his new CD release titled "Behind the Closed Eye". As he points out in the liner notes, much of this new album is an inspiration by the poetry of Francis Ledwidge. Michael states that " beneath the gentle surface of Ledwidge's work runs a direct line to the ancient nature poets of Ireland, where beautiful, natural imagery conceals a poetic truth ." For those of us unfamiliar with the many great poets of Eire, I have come up with some history on Ledwidge and would like to share it with you all. Hopefully this will give a better insight into the man who helped inspire Michael in composing this new CD. And for those of you who have not had the oppurtunity to hear the new CD yet, by all means, get it. A delightful treat, as usual. The following is an excerpt from the Irish Times in which a story was written on the celebration of Ledwidge's death 80 years ago. The story is titled "An Irishman's Diary" by Tom Farrell: Grocer's apprentice Francis Ledwidge was born outside the village of Slane on August 19th, 1887, the second youngest in a family of four brothers and three sisters born to Anne and Patrick Ledwidge. He left school at 14 and his first recorded poem

    Extractions: Francis Ledwidge Cottage Slane's own Francis Ledwidge was born in Slane in 1887 and raised in a small cottage that survives today as Ireland's only "poet's cottage" museum. The cottage is situated about half a mile east of the Village on the left hand side of the Drogheda Road (N51). The cottage was purchased through the tremendous efforts of local volunteers, including Pearl Baxter, as well as through donations obtained through cousins in the States. The cottage has four small rooms including some original and period furnishings in the bedroom and kitchen. The cottage evokes the simple life of the rural Irish while the displays of original manuscripts and the poetry itself proclaim the transcendence of one man's thought in verse. It is proof that humble surroundings, close family and day laborer's work can be the forge of a great soul. Ellie Vaughey Francis Ledgwidge wrote from a young age and at one point his work was recognized as brilliant by Lord Dunsany who became his patron. Lord Dunsany introduced Ledwidge to the Dublin Literary circle and he had his first volume of Fifty poems, entitled Songs of the Field , published in 1915. His poems celebrated nature, quiet mornings before dawn and his love for Ellie Vaughey.

The Prayer of the Men of Daleswood He said: ``There were only twenty houses in Daleswood. A place you would scarcely have heard of. A village up top of the hills. ``When the war came there was no more than thirty men there between sixteen and forty-five. They all went. ``They all kept together; same battalion, same platoon. They was like that in Daleswood. Used to call the hop pickers foreigners, the ones that come from London. They used to go past Daleswood, some of them, every year, on their way down to the hop fields. Foreigners they used to call them. Kept very much to themselves, did the Daleswood people. Big woods all round them. ``Very lucky they was, the Daleswood men. They'd lost no more than five killed and a good sprinkling of wounded. But all the wounded was back again with the platoon. This was up to March when the big offensive started. ``It came very sudden. No bombardment to speak of. Just a burst of Tok Emmas going off all together and lifting the front trench clean out of it; then a barrage behind, and the Boche pouring over in thousands. `Our luck is holding good,' the Daleswood men said, for their trench wasn't getting it at all. But the platoon on their right got it. And it sounded bad too a long way beyond that. No one could be quite sure. But the platoon on their right was getting it: that was sure enough.

    Extractions: Updated - Thursday, 7 March, 2002 Francis Ledwidge (1887-1917), the Irish nationalist and poet, was born in Slane on 19 August 1887 the son of a poor labourer. Leaving school at the age of 14 he worked in various manual labour positions while developing a love for and honing his own poetical talents. It was in 1911 that Ledwidge first received notable recognition for his poetry. Having sent a collection of his poems to well-known author Lord Dunsany he received a favourable response, Dunsany assuming the role of mentor to Ledwidge, introducing him to the Dublin literary scene. Although possessing moderate Irish nationalist views Ledwidge nevertheless signed up with the British Army - the Irish Volunteers in October 1914 - to serve in France and Flanders during World War One, on the basis that it was unreasonable to expect others to fight for the freedoms that he would later enjoy. Despite his initial reluctance to enlist he nevertheless argued that his service with the British during World War One was in no way incompatible with his nationalist views: rather, he believed he was furthering the cause of Irish independence from Britain. One year after war began, in 1915, and while serving abroad on active duty Ledwidge saw an initial volume of fifty of his poems published as
