The White Goat: 'Had not Nature her own way for counting out the hours and the minutes? Had not she, or some other power, appointed an hour for the white goat to die?'

Muileann Liatroma ... Seumas O'Kelly's family recount visits to Finnerty's mills. The corn mill is renovated, the flax mill and weaver's a little worse for wear. K... for Kelly?

Is brea liom seo a fheiceáil! Some of the translation has built on the phrases I used in the English version.... more has changed it... I will allow Seán Mac Giollarnáth some licence. Will it still be read or understood in 100 years? @cleasaithe

Shopkeepers, customers and little children.... my memories of Loughrea in my youth conjure up so many images.... but all is not as idyllic as it might seem. Ireland's financial health and economy is drained by the Imperial Parliment in London.

My work in journalism is informed by my political ideas and by those of many close associates, including the Dubliner, Mr Arthur Griffith.

Cloisim cuid de na carachtair i mo scéalta ag labhairt i nGaeilge liom. I heard Irish in the shop in Loughrea, customers from Sonnach and the Aughties. From here my father's people came

One of the closest friends and always a lot more energetic than I: Seumas O'Sullivan. He reminds me in many ways of Michael, my brother. (Estella Solomons, whom Seumas O'S has courted for years painted this wonderful painting).

Séipéal Sr. Clarendon.... deartháir liom mar shagart ann, Alphonsus.

Peculiar that there are three of us in Dublin with the Seumas O'Kelly name.... it gets confusing....
