Hi all 👋🏻
Today I want to share with you a StreetArt find that combines LITERATURE WITH STREETART.
I discovered this wall while I was exploring the town of CARRICK-ON-SHANNON in IRELAND 🇮🇪 😊
I captured this #mural / #artwork on a #wall on 19 July 2023.
The first #photo will be my #entry into the “CCC's Street Art Contest #157” hosted by @digi-me

Let’s have a closer look at this art work and the literature:
I will share the quotes seen in each photo below with you for each person 🤓
I hope you will enjoy them as much as I did.
Nora J. Murray
“There are silver waters lapping
Under arches. grey and brown
When the swans come up the river
To the bridge in Carrrick town.”
John McGahern
”I think fiction
is a very serious thing.
That while it is fiction.
It is also a revelation of truth.”
M. J. McManus
”The people came to drink the soup
ladled from greasy bowls
They died in whitewashed wards
That held a thousand souls”
Susan Mitchell
”No bigger than a bulrush.
I beside the rushy Shannon cry.
There are no children on the shore.
The singing voices sing no more.
The sea draws all the rivers down.
And love has sailed from
Carrick town.”
Canon Slater
”You'll never find more beauty,
peace and welcome all combined.
Than along the Shannon river
where your cares are left behind.”
The Artist’s signature… very small down below…
And one more capture from further away 😎
