COVID-19 in 2020

COVID-19 in 2020.
Bernie Ó Conaill & Frainc Mac Brádaigh.

Cúig aiste is fiche atá sa leabhar seo, cúig ábhar marana is fiche ar eispéireas Covid-10 ó scríbhneoirí aitheanta agus ó scríbhneoirí gur beag atá scríofa do dtí seo acu. Scríbhneoirí aneas, aduaidh, anoir is aniar. Bainfidh cuid de na haistí preab asat ar an gcéad iarraidh, cuid eile beidh ort filleadh ar an aiste chun fáil amach an bhfuil rud i dtaisce inti nár léir duit ar an gcéad léamh, cuid eile fós a mhusclóidh mothúcháin éagsúla ionat idir bhuíochas, dóchas, imní, bhrón, iontas agus fhearg fiú.

Tabharfaidh níos mó ná aiste amháin anseo cuireadh duit athmhachnamh a dhéanamh ar an gcaoi a mairimid le chéile, ar fhuadar is ar fhústar an tsaoil nach dtugann saoirse dár dtabhairt faoi deara ná deis dúinn ár súile ná ár gcluasa a oscailt ar áilleacht an domhain thart orainn. Tá daoine inár measc atá compardach ina gcraiceann féin, mar a deir na Francaigh, daoine a ghlacann rudaí go réidh, daoine a bhaineann triail as seansanna nua a chuireann an saol ina dtreo, daoine a luíonn an bhróg go crua orthu, agus daoine a chuireann ina luí orainn go réidh gur ar scáth a chéile a mhairimid.

A collection of twenty-five essays from authors discussing different aspects of how Covid 19 impacted their lives, they will awaken feelings of fear, worry, sadness but also hope.

Letter to Fr Fergal McGrath SJ from Fr Anthony Bischoff SJ concerning books used by or belonging to Fr Gerard Hopkins SJ

Letter to Fr Fergal McGrath SJ (Irish Province Archivist 1975 to 1986) from Fr Anthony Bischoff SJ (Jesuit Community, Georgetown University, Washington), concerning books used by or belonging to Fr Gerard Hopkins SJ, found in St Ignatius’ House of Writers, 35 Lower Leeson Street. ‘I confess I am appalled at the idea that these books have been carelessly assimilated into the house library. In 1947, I spent hours examining every book in the Leeson Street house Library. The result was that I segregated some fifteen or twenty books that had definitely belonged to or been used by Hopkins. All of these I turned over to Father Aubrey Gwynn, then librarian. I made clear to him what the books were, their value as having been associated with Hopkins, and suggested that they be kept as a separate collection. I do not have a detailed listing of the books…I have only two definite titles that I recall…There are also several books by Richard Watson Dixon that belonged to Hopkins…You ought to also have the autograph manuscript of Hopkins’s poem ‘St. Thecla’, as well as manuscripts of one or two of his letters.’
