Extractions: What Highgate Cemetery is to London and Pere La Chase Cemetery is to Paris - Mount Jerome cemetery is to Dublin. Located at Harold's Cross on Dublin's Southside, Mount Jerome is a veritable Metropolis of the Illustrious Dead, a Gothic marvel of Funerary landscape in sculptured stone. The Rev Stephen Jerome from whom the cemetery is named, was, in 1639, Vicar of St Kevin's parish in the Harold's Cross area. The cemetery itself came into use in 1836, and now covers aprx 47 acres. A thoughtful stroll along it's myriad silent pathways, aided by a copy of the guide which is obtainable at the office, takes one on a tour of the last resting places of Patriots and Policemen, Playwrights and Huguenots, Architects and Painters and of two survivors of the Charge Of The Light Brigade who inevitably fell, finally, into the Jaws Of Death. This is a place where protective stone angels smile softly over the grave of John Millington Synge (1871-1909) Ireland's great playwright - who expressed the inner psyche of his people in dramas, (performed at Dublin's Abbey Theatre), such as - 'Riders To The Sea', 'Deirdre' and in so doing expressed universal truths, not least in 'The Playboy Of The Western World'. Here, also lie, in anticipation of that great blast on the Final day, the mortal remains of this selection of luminous names from the list of the Great Departed:

Extractions: Compiled by David Johnson, Ann Marie Imbornoni, and Borgna Brunner The Irish have always been recognized as having the gift of gab, so it should come as no surprise that a relatively small country has produced so many great writers, orators, and just plain ordinary folk with a lot to say. As Oscar Wilde put it, "If one could only teach the English how to talk, and the Irish how to listen, society would be quite civilized." Here are a few sayings by those quotable Irish. quoted in Ireland in Mind , Alice Leccese Powers, ed. (2000) "We . . . are no petty people. We are one of the great stocks of Europe. We are the people of Burke ; we are the people of Swift , the people of Emmet , the people of Parnell . We have created most of the modern literature of this country. We have created the best of its political intelligence."

Extractions: John Millington Synge Die Handlung des Schauspiels "Der Held der westlichen Welt" spielt um 1900 und ist im äußersten Westen Irlands angesiedelt. Christopher Mahon, genannt Christy, hat im Streit seinen Vater erschlagen. Er flieht und sucht in einer heruntergekommenen Dorfschänke Schutz vor der Polizei. Die Dorfbewohner sind über Christy hocherfreut. Für sie ist er kein Mörder, sondern ein Held. Die Dorfmädchen umschwärmen ihn. Die Wirtstochter Pegeen Mike verliebt sich in ihn und bringt ihren Vater dazu, Christy zum Schankburschen zu machen. In der Witwe Quin, die vor Monaten ihren Mann ins Jenseits befördert hat, entsteht Pegeen eine Nebenbuhlerin. Doch da taucht plötzlich sein Vater auf, der den Schlag seines Sohnes mit gespaltenem Schädel überlebt hat. Witwe Quin versucht, ihn mit List und Tücke loszuwerden oder doch wenigstens zum Verrückten zu erklären. Doch vergeblich. Der alte Mahon greift in aller Öffentlichkeit seinen Sohn an und entlarvt ihn vor den Dorfbewohnern als Schwindler und Lügner. Sie wenden sich enttäuscht von ihm ab. Christy und sein Vater versöhnen sich schließlich und verlassen Dorf und Bewohner. - Für Pegeen, die nun den ungeliebten Dorftrottel Shawn heiraten muß, bricht eine Welt zusammen. Sie jammert : "O Jammer, ich hab ihn verloren, den letzten Held der westlichen Welt."
