Excerpt from Views of Ireland, Vol. 1 of 2: Moral, Political, and Religious

Fame land Fortune are the slaves which obey the master spirits of our time, whose choice it is to dwell in the enchanted regions of the imagination. To delight and amuse the leisure and indolence of our age, demands genius of the first order: and in the path of such a genius, roses are strewed; crowns of honour are presented by the fairest hands, and places of dignity and rich reward await his acceptance.

Every thing tempts him to flee away from the dull realities of life; and to take refuge from the crimes, and sorrows, and perplexities which surround them, in the shining castles, and the blooming gardens, and the sweet repose of fairy land.

We are not surprised that so many powerful minds have been tempted into this happy region.
