ewangibbs: Patrick MacGill’s Children of the Dead End id a powerful novel closely based on his pen life. It tells the story of Edwardian Irish migrants which worked the tattie fields, tramped between industrial jobs and built the huge Kinlochleven hydro electric dam. It’s also a short read!

From Matey by Patrick Macgill
Leavin' you 'ere in the line, matey,
All by yourself, alone.
Chum o' mine and you're dead, matey,
And this is the way we part,
The bullet went through your head, matey,
But Gawd! it went through me 'eart.

AixDaianaM: Before I joined the Army
I lived in Donegal,
Where every night the Fairies,
Would hold their carnival.
But now I'm out in Flanders,
Where men like wheat-ears fall,
And it's Death and not the Fairies
Who is holding carnival.- Patrick MacGill, 1916.
PMacoscair: Patrick MacGill was a staunch left-wing activist devoted to exposing the oppression of the downtrodden, such as migrant workers or single mothers.
What better way of paying tribute than inviting such spiritual heirs as Mary Harney and Dan O’Brien to speak in his honour?

seanbaillie9: “In life he was worth some shillings a day when there was work to do,
In death he is worth a share of the clay which in life he laboured through”
- Patrick MacGill, the tragedy of English Bill.
seanbaillie9: “My mother’s love for me is warm,
Her house is cold and bare,
A man who wants to see the world
Has little comfort there;
And there ‘tis hard to pay the rent,
For all you dig and delve,
But there’s hope beyond the Mountains
For a little Man of Twelve”
Patrick MacGill
