ST.
Every .St Patrick's Day I try
to write a column about the
Irish.. And ' every year. I give it
up as a ball fob. What can you
say -about the Irish, good or bad,
that they have not already said
about = themselves, being the
greatest talker`s and writers on
the face of the' earth?
About ninety-four per' cent of
this talking and writing is pure.
Irish. blather, but the remainder
is as fine and true as anything
that.. has come • fromtongueor
pen.
—v--v---
I'm no authority: on the Irish,;
and I • promise that anyone who
finds a single ' "begoraii" . in this.
column may, clobber .; me with a
leprechaun. But it ,lbehooves me
as a student ofthe highways and
byways, the odds and sods, to
peer through the fog; and squel-
ch throw the bog, in an honest
effort to. find the real essence of
the Irish. ' ' •
Fortunately for the . cause of
pure research,: there are hordes.
of genuine authorities on Ireland
and the Irish. They are all Irish-
men, of .course. No nation on
earth has: .found itself ,so . fascn�
ating as, the Iriish..No 'people has
ever examined itself with., such
untiring • delight, such hopeless
disgust. .
Most of the' • ;confusion about
the.. Irish .must. rest with their
writers. The 'brooding, 'turbulent,
hilarious; soaring language of•
their poets, story -tellers and dra
matists. has. tumbled intro .our
ken an I Irishman who is . half-
pian, half -myth, half -clown,' half
hero.

There's, one thing, about the
Irish;. 'for' example, that . stands
{out like 'the head . on a' draught
of. Guinness: Aside,. of : course,
from the ':fact that they're bad-
tempered, garrulous, . inconsist-
ent, self -,pitying; lyrical, hum-
ourous, warm-hearted and en-..
tirely charthing. •
And that one thing is th • ' Mem-
ory of them. They, have'memo
.ory that would -Hake a self-res-
pecting • elephant wind • his. trunk

have. never forgotten. `'anything,
