Down by the Laune

Hi,

I'm posting a link here to a short video I made whilst walking by the river Laune in Killorglin, Co. Kerry recently. The day - April the 28th, 2012 - was notable for its glimpse of sun after a long week of rain.
When getting the video ready to publish on YouTube, I was lucky enough to find an instrumental version of the song Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds available for common usage in their editing tools. I jumped at the chance to use a (albeit instrumental) version of that classic (and controversial) Beatles track.
If I may say so, the addition of Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds to the video gives the whole thing a wonderfully trippy vibe:-)
My only wish now is that you, whoever you are, will take a moment to watch and enjoy this small, groovy creation of mine.

As ever, with deep humility,

Brian

A Year in the Life (thereabouts)

                                                  It begins. November 2017. He read the following: 'with such a look of bliss on his face that the people realized he had been transfigured by a holy ecstasy'.  I see you lithe and watery-eyed, flitting and flecked from activity, your fine bounce and flawless stride pump the rivers of my ecstasy. What's gone wrong, what's brought on such a massive change? From highness on the wine of life to hungover on earthly strife? Gliding gulls in the grey sky. Dublin December morning. You're the golden summit of what comes up here to live every single day.  He worried that he was becoming numerically dyslexic. He would seek out Catalan lessons in the new year. It was the day when Unwin and Quintana came by. One of those recurring dreams I have set on Abercorn Road. In a technology trance he thought of colonies on the ...

The House by the Churchyard

This grand old house  (pictured)   on Main Street, Chapelizod, in the city of Dublin, wouldn't look out of place on Merrion or Mountjoy Square. Sadly though, its windows are broken and steel girders wrap around it to stop its collapse. In 2021 An Taisce (the National Trust for Ireland) listed it among Ireland's Top 10 Most-at-Risk buildings. If the house were a person, it would be described as close to death with a 'do not resuscitate' order placed upon it.  An amazing feature of the house's history is that it is the setting for Sheridan Le Fanu's 1863 novel The House by the Churchyard. Per Wikipedia: 'The work inspired several later Irish writers, including James Joyce and Bram Stoker, who drew upon its Gothic horror and suspense features for their own novels. It has been considered by many critics as a precursor to the psychological horror genre.'  So,   in terms of literary cachet the house is up there with Joyce's House of the Dead on Usher's...
