Belfast: 'Down Our Street' by George Callaghan

’Down Our Street’ is a reference to George Callaghan’s Belfast roots. The back-to-back terraced houses of the industrial city are portrayed in a playful and almost dream-like way as if an amalgam of memories from Callaghan’s childhood. Callaghan plays with perspective allowing the street to fall away and the houses to appear to go on forever. In the distance Cave Hill, tall cranes and chimneys, a gasometer and a church spire all help to identify the scene as Belfast.

'Everyone...has lost something precious. The people and the friends that we have lost, or the dreams that have faded...Never forget them.'



Words to live by


Mahatma Gandhi said: 'Be the change you want to see in the world.'
'Mother Erin'


Two divine persons in one. A mother lamenting her children in bondage. A girl ravished by the Saxon, who weeps over her stringless harp. But her young champions keep watch in the mountains, awaiting the dawn of the bright sun of Freedom. They will gather around her with pikes and swords.

--James Plunkett
STRUMPET CITY


I will arise and go now, for always night and day
I hear lake water lapping with low sounds by the shore;
While I stand on the roadway, or on the pavements grey,
I hear it in the deep heart's core.

--W B Yeats
from 'The Stolen Child'


Come away, O human child!

To the waters and the wild

With a faery, hand in hand,

For the world's more full of weeping than you can understand.

--William Butler Yeats

"It is surely true that, as Nietzsche observed,'without a constant falsification of life...man could not live.'

Our perception of the world rests on a dense trellis of falsehoods that make it possible for us to get out of bed in the morning and face the day."

--Joseph O' Neill
from the review of 'The Informer'
