A Natural History of Ireland By Robert Ensor Guinness, ceilidh, coddle, poetry, art, all created by a hand divine, sublime; the freckled heifer pales beside the rampant bull, calm before the storm; weeping willow sheds shamrock tears for the unrequited love of a leprechaun; a weary, wary lough-laid trout basks in sunlight, contemptuous of a poaching gypsy’s dead bait; in the cities, multi-cultural mime-artists, jugglers & buskers perform in polyglot; birds & bees recite verse from trees, mother nature’s original intention; and miraculous noise: a new-born baby sighs, cries & sounds like a soprano singing.

Author bio: Robert Ensor's past is clouded by history; his present is surrounded by surreality; his future is shrouded in mystery.
