Cashelmara
““How wonderful to see land again!” exclaimed Sarah in relief, but I couldn’t speak. I saw the dark-blue hills of Clare slumbering while far away the sun shone on Galway Bay, and it was as if I was already on the road to Oughterard, heading north to Connemara and the Joyce country.
“How strange it will be to see Galway again,” said Sarah uneasily, but I could no longer see anything except the blurred shimmer of light upon water beneath the Irish sky.
“Look at the meadows above Salthill!”... cried Ned in wonder. “Look at the color of the fields!”
And the soft Irish rain came out to meet us, though the sun was still shining upon the mountains far away.
“Look, Mama!” said Ned. “Look at the spires … and all the boats … and the houses of the Claddagh packed together like boxes …”
All I could think was: God help those poor Irish-Americans who’ll never look upon this sight again.MoreLess
