"Men that had seen her Drank deep and were silent, The women were speaking Wherever she went, As a bell that is rung Or a wonder told shyly, And O she was the Sunday In every week."

Austin Clarke (poet)
Austin Clarke (Irish: AibhistÃn Ó Cléirigh; 9 May 1896 – 19 March 1974), born in 83 Manor Street, Stoneybatter, Dublin, was one of the leading Irish poets of the generation after W. B. Yeats. He also wrote plays, novels and memoirs. Clarke's main contribution to Irish poetry was the rigour with which he used technical means borrowed from classical Irish language poetry when writing in English.
