From O'Conner's bridge, Dublin to Fifth avenue, New York to Jayhawk boulevard, Lawrence tramping feet will be keeping step to rhythmic Irish airs today as the proud sons of Ernare prepare to celebrate the day of their patron saint, Patrick.
In every corner of the world the Kelley's, O'Brien's, O'Toole's and O'Rourk's will sit together and spin wonderous tales of the Old Country. Shillelaghs will be brought down from attics and tales of Irish combat and heroism will fill the air.
prove that he was born in Ireland, Scotland or England. Theologians will wonder if he was brought up as a Christian, whether he saw visions, what his religious works were before he became Bishop of Ireland. These will be of little account to an Irishman.
The Kelley's, O'Rourk's, and the rest won't celebrate alone. They'll be joined by the Botellies, Hohenzollern's, Nickopopoles's and Goldberg's, for on the 17th of March everyone becomes an honorary Irishman.
Perhaps in some ivy-tower, historians will meet to debate whether the good Saint was born in 373 or 389. Books will be brought out to
Around the festive tables and bars there will be thousands of green clad men who swear that their country has actual prof that it Was St. Patrick that drove the snakes and toads from Ireland. Anyone who doubts that for 12 days there was no night upon his death will invite mayhem.
When the topic of St. Patrick is exhausted some one will murmur 1916 and there will be a hush. Then stories will stream forth like the river Shannon. Pearse, Clarke, Macaulay, de la Vera, and the heroes of the unsuited attempt to overthrow the English rule will be remembered and revered.
And on Tuesday, many an Irishman will say, "Sick I may be, but t'was the greatest St. Pat's day ever.'
