I love Ireland and my wife and I return to it as oftern as we are able. Your vignetrte of the stone chapel and ancient monaastery reminded me of these lnes from Spenser’s Fairie Queene, Book I, canto 1, stanza 34:
A little lowly Hermitage it was,
Downe in a dale, hard by a forests side,
Far from resort of people, that did pas
In travell to and froe: a little wyde
There was an holy Chappell edifyde,
Wherein the Hermite dewly wont to say
His holy things each morne and eventyde:
Thereby a Christall streame did gently play,
Which from a sacred fountaine welled forth alway.
