The Irish influence in Boston

This online video description of the Irish influence in Boston is interesting. Specifically of interest is the footage of the Famine Memorial in Boston (above), unveiled in 1998.

A light that shines again...

“…Nor less should we forget the worthy sons
And daughters who through centuries lived and died
Unknown to fame. The muse of history shuns
Their buried records. Gathered side by side
In yonder burial ground, they leave no signs
Save in half-obliterated lines
That tell their birth, their death. Yet not in vain,
Fathers and mothers, were your humble lives;
Each in its turn an influence that survives,
A light that shines again
In sacred memories, and in hearths and homes,
Vital as greater names that gild historic tomes…”

~ Christopher Pearce Cranch, read at the 250th anniversary of the first church in Quincy, Massachusetts
