Interesting about the disparity between Synge's realistic writing on the islands and the idealized version produced by some Revivalists. “…Aran is not the uncorrupted pristine environment shut out from modern society and its socioeconomic dynamics...” I've been thinking a lot lately about revivalist movements and how short they seem to fall of the thing they (often with good intentions) try to recreate/impersonate. I used to think it was due to lack of reliable data, but I begin to wonder if it's due to lack of realism....

Thank you! I’m really enjoying Whispers.
Beautifully written essay for some breathtaking music.
Simply wonderful music and I greatly appreciated being informed about the "Locomotives on Highways Act."
