The Palace Bar, Dublin, 4pm

2009.05.27



W.B. Yeats, Patrick Kavanagh and Flann O'Brien drunk there. And me... occasionally.

I imagine this would be the type of conversation one could hear there:

"Death by fire, you know, by God it’s no joke.

They tell me drowning is worse, Lamont said.

Do you know what it is, said Furriskey, you can drown me three times before you roast me. Yes, by God and six. Put your finger in a basin of water. What do you feel? Next to nothing. But put your finger in the fire!" (Flan O'Brien).

revenant Interesting line-in. Perhaps Waiting for Godot could be just as appropriate. Is that gin or vodka?

Widcat I'm comparing the first photo (in my mind) to caroleagle's latest of the two women sitting so close together on the bench. I'll bet they are happier than these guys!

bergfjord I really like this post! Can see there is a lot of history in that bar. Some of the men looks like they've been sitting there forever. And some probably have. :)
I like the atmosphere you are communicating through this post.
