NGIreland: Solomons' studio became a place of refuge for many War of Independence revolutionaries, several of whom sat for her. She had to destroy many of the portraits to avoid incriminating the sitters. This portrait of her husband, Seumas O’Sullivan, happily did not meet that fate.

"And now they pause
in their dancing and
look with troubled eyes,
Earth's straying children
with sudden memory wise."

James Sullivan Starkey, (1879 - 1958) pseudonymously - Seumas or Seamus O'Sullivan.
finorgan: The Lamplighter, by Seumas O’Sullivan. An elegy for a lost profession (the lamplighters) & an indication of what energy transitions can mean for professions that are left behind. Not all lost professions are as visible as lamplighters & not all will be as celebrated in literature
johnstonglenn: Seumas O'Sullivan, poet and founder and editor of The Dublin Magazine, died OTD in 1958. Joyce asked him to collect his belongings from the Martello Tower in Sandycove after he left it in 1904. Yeats famously said "the trouble with Seumas is that when he's not drunk, he's sober."
UCCLibrary: Catchy title by Seumas O'Sullivan. Even now many artists illustrate books and this has eight by Jack B Yeats.
CarryCandy: Oh, many a thrush and blackbird
Would fall to the dewy ground,
And pine away in silence
For envy of such a sound.
So the night through,
In our sad pleasure,
We dance to many a measure
That earth never knew.
~ Seumas O’Sullivan

And look with troubled eyes,
Earth straying children
With sudden memory wise.
