Sointotheemptyplaceinhisbosom heputsthe"IrishMelodies"of ThomasMoore,the150th.anniversary ofwhosebirthoccurredonMay28. "TheIrishMelodies"notonlyrisefrom thesoilybedofnationalairs,butflock aboutonwingsoflyricpoetry,poetry deartotheIrishheartforitssimplicityandcommunicativeness;forits sippingofsweetnessfromthejoys andofbitternessfromthesorrowsof Irishpeople;foritstough-fabricofpatriotism;forthenetofdescriptionit spreadsoverIreland.

Mooreisclearbecauseoftherushof hispoetrythroughthechannelsof sense.Theplebeianmindisinstantly arousedbythepoetryofsensation. Moore'spoetryflowslikesilverwater intothecavitiesofsense. "Youmaybreak,youmayshatterthe vaseifyouwill Butthescentoftherosewillhang rounditstill," isaromaticembalmingofmemory.
