“The river banks are beautiful, and parts of them are wooded. In the 1919 War of Independence, and in the Civil War that followed, there were men who fought the boredom and humiliation of jails by walking together in their imagination up one bank of the Shannon in the morning, returning down the opposite bank in the evening, each man picking out what others had missed on the way. They knew the river stretches like their own lives.”
