Sense of Humour?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>

Minic adeirtear nach raibh f\u00e9ith an ghrinn sa bPiarsach, olc, maith, n\u00f3 dona, agus tr\u00edd is tr\u00edd, chaithfeadh duine a admh\u00e1il go raibh an cuma sin ar an sc\u00e9al, go minic. Ach b\u00edodh sin mar at\u00e1, is fi\u00fa breathn\u00fa ar a shaothar, f\u00e9achaint an bhfuil an tuairim sin ag lu\u00ed leis an bhf\u00edrinne, agus caithfear a admh\u00e1il, go bhfuil cumas grinn le tabhairt faoi deara, anseo is ansi\u00fad, in a shaothar. Ach, nuair a chuireann t\u00fa chuile sh\u00f3rt san \u00e1ireamh, go h\u00e1irithe nuair a smaoin\u00edonn t\u00fa go raibh a dh\u00e1n fh\u00e9in feicthe ag an bPiarsach, \u00f3 ch\u00e9ad chuir s\u00e9 a l\u00e1mh le ch\u00e9achta an N\u00e1isi\u00fanachais, b\u00edodh an c\u00e9achta sin cam, n\u00f3 d\u00edreach! Ba dhuine \u00e9, mar sin, a raibh sc\u00e1ile an bh\u00e1is mar chomhluadar aige minic go maith, agus n\u00ed fonn grinn a chuirfeadh an comhluadar c\u00e9anna sin ar dhuine, geallaimse dhuit \u00e9. Ag an am gc\u00e9anna, breathnaigh ar a bhfuil le r\u00e1 aige i… \u201cFrom a Hermitage\u201d…….<\/p>

\u201cI have two qualities in common with a real hermit…I am poor, and I am merry…. I am in reality a genial and large-hearted person.\u201d<\/p>

Agus ar\u00eds, i litir oscailte chuig an Docht\u00fair Dubhghlas de h\u00cdde, scr\u00edobh s\u00e9……<\/p>

\u201cMy dear Hyde…..laugh your great genial laugh now….Let your laughter shake the clock-tower in Earlsfort Terrace.\u201d<\/p>

Agus ansin i bhfon\u00f3ta leis an litir sin, fon\u00f3ta a scr\u00edobh s\u00e9 tamall ina dhiaidh sin, deir s\u00e9….<\/p>

\u201cI observe that the clock-tower has since collapsed!<\/p>

.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

Humour?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>

In \u00e1it eile, scr\u00edobh s\u00e9 faoi shn\u00e1thaid\u00ed m\u00f3ra, scr\u00edobh s\u00e9 go dtroideann na cr\u00e9at\u00fair sin go dt\u00ed nach mb\u00edonn f\u00e1gtha ach na cinn, agus mar aguis\u00edn le sin, scr\u00edobh s\u00e9..<\/p>

\u201cSo ferocious an eater-up is the dragon-fly that it is said that in the absence of other bodies to eat up, it will eat up its own body until nothing is left but the head and it would doubtless eat its own head if it could! – A feat which would be as remarkable as the feat of the saint, recorded by Carlyle, and recalled by Mitchel – The Saint who swam across the channel carrying his decapitated head in his own teeth!\u201d<\/p>

Agus ar\u00eds, ag scr\u00edobh d\u00f3 i, \u201cFrom a Hermitage\u201d, (Deireadh F\u00f3mhair 1915) deir s\u00e9…<\/p>

\u201cI frankly admit that I am well fed. Being a hermit I limit myself to four square meals a day, except on feast days when for the greater glory of God, I allow myself five !\u201d<\/p>

The Final Insult!<\/span><\/strong><\/p>

I Samhain na bliana 1913 scr\u00edobh s\u00e9 …<\/p>

In Belfast they are selling chair cushions with Sir Edward Carson\u2019s head emblazoned upon them….-<\/p>

One should not put a sacred emblem where it is certain to be sat on…Only an Orangeman would think of honouring their chief by sitting on his head.\u201d<\/p>

N\u00edl sa mh\u00e9id sin ach cupla sampla den chine\u00e1l ruda at\u00e1 i gceist agam, agus m\u00e9 ag caint ar chumas grinn an Phiarsaigh. <\/p>

.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

Gloom or Doom?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>

Tuigeadh don Phiarsach, go raibh beirt fhear ina gc\u00f3na\u00ed taobh istigh d\u00e1 chraiceann fh\u00e9in. Fear acu meidhreach, agus an fear eile dubhach go maith. N\u00ed fheict\u00ed an fear meidhreach, \u00e1it ar bith, ach i measc a dhalta\u00ed fh\u00e9in, thart ar Chol\u00e1iste \u00c9anna, fhad is a d\u2019fheict\u00ed an fear dubhach, ar \u00f3c\u00e1id\u00ed poibl\u00ed. <\/p>

C\u00e9ard faoin bPiarsach fh\u00e9in? Ar shubhach, n\u00f3 dubhach \u00e9?<\/p>

N\u00ed d\u00f3igh liom, go raibh freagra na ceiste sin ag an bPiarsach fh\u00e9in. D\u00e1 mairfheadh s\u00e9 sa l\u00e1 at\u00e1 inniu ann, is d\u00f3cha go mbainfeadh s\u00e9 spraoi anois, as cuid de na ruda\u00ed a scr\u00edobh s\u00e9 i \u201cFrom a Hermitage\u201d. T\u00f3g mar shampla, rud a scr\u00edobh s\u00e9 sa bhliain 1913. N\u00ed d\u00f3cha gur cheap s\u00e9 an t-am sin, go bhf\u00edor\u00f3fa\u00ed bun\u00fas d\u00e1 raibh i gceist aige ag an am, ach nach gcuirfeadh s\u00e9 duine ag smaoineamh ar na l\u00ednte eile \u00fad a scr\u00edobh s\u00e9…<\/p>

\u201cO Wise men riddle me this,<\/p>

What if my dreams come true?\u201d<\/p>

Ach seo mar a scr\u00edobh s\u00e9 sa bhliain \u00fad 1913….<\/p>

\u201cBefore God I believe that the rest of the matter lies in foreign domination. A free Ireland would not, and could not, have hunger in her fertile vales, and squalor in her cities. Ireland has resources to feed five times her population, a free Ireland would make those resources available. A free Ireland would drain the bogs, would harness the rivers, would plant the wastes, would nationalise the railways and the waterways, would improve agriculture, would protect fisheries, would foster industeries, would promote commerce, would diminish extravagant expenditure, would beautify our cities, would educaate our workers (and also the non-workers who stand in direr need of it), would, in short, govern herself as no external power \u2013 nay, not even a government of angels and archangels could govern her.\u201d<\/p>

B\u00ed ag caint faoin tuar a theacht faoin tairngreacht!<\/p>

.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

As his Pupils saw him<\/span><\/strong><\/p>

Ach le cr\u00edoch a chur leis an bp\u00edosa beag seo, agus \u00e9 a thabhairt suas chun d\u00e1ta, mar ad\u00e9arf\u00e1, ba mhaith liom athlua a dh\u00e9anamh ar rud ad\u00fairt Des Rushe ina chol\u00fan san Irish Independent, 18 Me\u00e1n F\u00f3mhair 1979, \u00e1it a bhfuil cumas grinn an Phiarsaigh, i gcuimhne na ndalta\u00ed a bh\u00ed aige i Scoil \u00c9anna, faoi chaibidil aige..<\/p>

\u201cThere are contradictions in the memories, as is only to be expected. \u201cFear m\u00f3r ard ab ea \u00e9, d\u00e1r liomsa, an uair sin\u201d says Frank Bourke; \u201che wasn\u2019t very tall, I thought,\u201d says S\u00edle U\u00ed Dhonncha, who goes on to recall: I never remember seeing his smile.\u201d On the other hand, Joe Sweeney states: He used to smile a lot.\u201d<\/p>

Well I wouldn\u2019t say now he had a sense of humour.\u201d Frank Bourke again, while Feardorcha \u00d3 Dochartaigh comments, \u201c he had a great sense of humour\u201d and adds by way of explanation..\u201dListening to jokes and everything like that he would never laugh out loud. He had a kind of a :- ho, ho, ho, do you know, and he would kind of cover his mouth with his hand \u2013 any kind of a joke at all he used to enjoy thoroughly\u201d<\/p>

Bhuel, sin sin. \u201cYou pays your money and you takes your pick!\u201d<\/p>
