I don’t care if it’s too whimsical and romantic, I want to rise up now and go there myself right this minute

Honestly glad i found this channel. Both my Irish and English teachers are useless and these videos are helping me greatly

Thank you so much. Helped me a ton❤

Thanks Gavin!!!😆❤️

John Ford in his film The Quiet Man sends up this poem and the ideas behind it. An American decides to quit the rat race of fighting( he was a boxer) and money,to return to the garden of eden of rural Ireland . But as one of the charactersthe widdo Tellane tells him:'' Innishfree is far from heaven Mr Thornton ''. In fact when John Wayne sees the beautiful coleen for the first time he asks:'' Is that real? she couldn't be'' The American discoveres that fighting and money are very important to the Irish peasants. As Mrs Playfair says to John Wayne : ''Poets are so silly. Mr Thornton er you're not one I hope?'' Extraordinary how many people - especially Irish people,miss these glaring inronies and ambiguities in the great film.

My English teacher is a joke so sound bro
