William Rowan Hamilton in Trinity.

William Rowan Hamilton in Trinity.

When he was three years of age he was sent to live with his uncle who ran a school in Talbots Castle in Trim, County Meath and by the age of thirteen was said to be fluent in ( 15 - 13 - 12) languages. Depending on your source. His uncle I believe schooled him for a position in the East India Company. However fate or whatever would have different plans and he is best remembered today for his eureka moment along the Royal Canal. I leave it to you to read up on. In my humble opinion what really defined him as a character was his relationship with Catherine Disney and the trauma of their break up. The above video was loaded by Trinity College and with thanks. He wrote poetry as well, though I have never attended a reading where one was recited and his friend Wordsworth kindly suggested that science was a better direction. William Rowan Hamilton - 4th August 1805 - 2nd September 1865.

I'm Nobody! Who Are You? By Emily Dickinson - Poetry Reading

I'm Nobody! Who Are You? By Emily Dickinson - Poetry Reading

Loaded by 'Pearls Of Wisdom' and with thanks, this one has any number of comments and a visit to Youtube is a must. Emily is one of America's greatest poets and she could capture more in a few lines than most in a page. So; something for the weekend and St Patrick's day. Enjoy!
