Atlantean Ireland

July 21, 2005

I have just been reading Bob Quinn’s book
The Atlantean Irish
and as an escape from weddings Sile and I went
for a spin around Carrick on Suir a couple of evenings ago
and stopped to look at the high crosses in Ahenny.

I took a photograph of this piece of one of the crosses.
I think that with this bit of strap carving Bob Quinns point is well made.
Arabesque is I think the appropiate term.
(And a good moment to remember how much we owe the nation of Islam)

Post Scriptum
Thank you Isabel for seeing the slip of the thumb.

    Dear Heart,
    I think the word “Arabesque” is what you have in mind, because “Ababesque” might more closely describe the music at the wedding (sigh) discoteque.
    Come home soon Mart’nsile, we miss you – or maybe we’ll get together en France…?
    Love, the Godmother of the Bride’s sister xxx
