Louis MacNeice "Dublin"

Louis MacNeice "Dublin"

I

If I remember right I think Ronnie Drew of the Dubliners used a verse or two of this poem as an introduction to a song back a long time ago and the name of which escapes me at the moment, but I came across this version while browsing on youtube and it's pretty special. The video was loaded by "DavidMcClellandPhoto" and is well worth a listen or checking out for comments back on the youtube page for a little history. Well recited from memory. Give a listen!
