A Green Realization

Punzabo Winner May 2009

This text will be replaced


For the remainder of my stay in Dublin, I was consistently shown how art-oriented the city is. I witnessed a young Irish boy who played a violin that created some of the most beautiful sounds I had ever heard. I visited Dublin Writers Museum, a quiet and refreshing exhibit of some of the best literary authors from Ireland. Listening to various bits about these authors’ lives, I absorbed the extensive history and influence of Irish literature. I also went to a quaint theater where I watched the performance of a play The Weir. The acting was compelling and the plot was incredibly gripping.

Walking back to Trinity College after the play, I passed walls covered by fliers inviting people to plays, dances, poetry readings, and gallery openings. With each of these fliers that I saw, I felt more inspired and proud of the world in which we live. I realized how much Dublin echoed New York and how much New York echoed Dublin because of their shared love for art. It is amazing how artistic passion transcends all boundaries, wherever you go. It is a univeral phenomenon—this infatuation with artistic expression—and during my trip to Dublin, I was hit with the knowledge that it can endure forever, just about anywhere.

I agree with you--New York and Dublin are two of the most amazing places on Earth!

This gave a wonderful picture of Dublin in my mind. I went to Ireland eight years ago; his brought me back. I am also curious: what writing program were you on?
