The only name I recall from the tombstones of the Howth cemetery was Quigley, a young man, they all are to me, was tending to the family plot. I respectably backed off the grave.
Brian had lived in Howth all his life as had his antecedents underneath the soil. Tight with words he said succinctly, "Howth a country all on its own." I walked away with a nod leaving him to the prayers and the wind.
